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

On service in the evening rush-hour was this elderly Volvo Coach EC-70-53 in Summer 1984 belonging to what by now is probably as long defunct operator

I'm not really sure, but this company might just have survived being "assimilated" into larger transportation conglomerates. There is a company called Auto Viação Landim that has a pink livery just like this one.

I don't think there would be two operators with that pink, but saying that we had the twenty coach pink and grey fleet of Worthington Motor Tours of Hurst Street in Birmingham which now many years later by coincidence is part of the cities 'Pink' Gay entertainment quarter

The 20 coach fleet of Worthingtons Motor Tours of Birmingham was officially "Fuschia and Oyster" or in English pink and grey and very smart they looked. Similar but not quite exactly the same were Calleloi of North Wales
