Hi and thanks for visiting!
I've been photographing buses since the late 70's, visiting many parts of the UK, both for pleasure and on 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, so keep checking them! The site will be updated regularly so please keep an eye on it, and feel free to leave a comment or two!!
For a really in depth view of buses in Devon & Cornwall, visit my other site, Buses Around Devon & Cornwall for a closer look at West Country buses. All pictures taken with permission or from public areas.
