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

A treat for my RN Fans


The Bus Station at Vila Real do Sto. António with some typical local RN buses in 1984 including 9604 one of the 'electric-razor-foil' fronted Volvo B58-60B coaches bodied by Salvador Caetano I particularly like. As well as a second Volvo and a pair of UTIC bodied AEC's all taking a mid-day break, passengers board UTIC-Dab-Leyland 9216 for Monte Gordo an gentle run a few miles along the coast

Great memory of the wonderful RN days. And a familiar scene for me. Vila Real do Sto. António is a beautiful little town. The bus station was always busy, because it was at the terminal of the ferry to Spain. These days there is a highway and a bridge over the Guadiana river. The terminal and the train station are permanently closed and the buses run less frequently.
