BUSWORLD PHOTOGRAPHY

I AM CHRISTOPHER LEACH THE ARTIST. I started this blog so that I can share with everyone my vast collection of transport photographs showing a personal and nostalgic view of the industry with images that span some 45 years taking in the U.K and some of Europe. I have no darkroom and so rather than being the perfectionist after tidying them up I upload the images warts and all, and even those that won't scan squarely or are scratched. In a way it adds age and character. You are all free to download these for your personal use but please remember I still own them and you are not just free to use them without prior permission for any knd of publishing. Click on images to enlarge them and if you want to see more leave your comments or visit my website for the mother-site with galleries including those Buses & Girls: PICTUREWORLD

Happy Birthday christopher


August 28th is my Birthday so here is a nice memory of Stafford in the early Nineties when Staffordian Coaches before they sold the service to Midland Red North operated three of it's four secondhand Leyland Leopards going passed my house on the H.Nicholls route to Tixall and the Heywood's that this operator formerly knows as Greatrex took over in 1966. Probably the smartest and the smoothest sounding of them all of them was PBO 675R which hummed along a Plaxton Supreme Express 'Grant' bodied example that started life with that well known Welsh Independent Hills of Tredegar. As the driver was a friend of mine I always rode for free which was nice.
