Hi and thanks for visiting!
I've been photographing buses since the late 70's, visiting many parts of the UK, on both pleasure and business. As time permits I will be adding more pictures to all the various collections, including many more shots from the 80's and 90's. The site will be updated regularly so please keep an eye on it!
For a look at buses in the rest of the UK, visit my other sites - Buses Around Britain for a selection of buses all over Britain, and for London, Buses Around London. For a light hearted view of buses & trains from a teddy bears view, see Animals Around Britain. All shots taken with permission or from public areas.
