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

Tintin Rides Again




Nothing is really new when it comes to vehicle design, and recent coaches supplied by Caetano for National Express are almost embarrassingly similar to the sleek stylish Art Deco designs seen in Switzerland in the Early Fifties. No doubt Tintin and his chums seen in the illustration would still be suitably impressed by the silky smooth ride of the Twenty-First-Century Scania with it's effortless speed for motorway cruising once it leaves Nottingham East Midlands Airport.
