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

Bern No. 66: Join the Bears on the Langgasse Trolley


I always say the only thing that is cheap in Switzerland is the chocolate but I suspect not these high-class offerings from Glatz Confiseur Beck, still maybe they will let you buy just a couple in exchange for you British-Pound. The trolleybus seen on a cold winter morning at the end of the rush-hour was from a small batch of Bern Volvo's delivered in 1985 and 62-66 were bodied by R&J.

These fine vehicles have sadly been withdrawn recently, as trolleybus operation on routes 13 and 14 was discontinued to permit construction of new tram lines. I hope the rest of Bern's trolleybus system can survive though. I suppose it's a question of what the minimum critical size is. That's the argument that finally killed Basel.
