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

Sheffield: The Wright Stuff


When the First Group decreed that all it's fleets be painted in uniform Barbi colours some such as the tomato-soups of North Manchester and Strathclyde might even have looked a little better. But many fine and indeed exciting liveries like this adaption of the bold South Yorkshire PTE colours were lost. Seen ten years ago this low entrance Wright bodied Volvo branded easi-access looked wonderful in striking yellow black and red.
