First 69022 (SF55UAP), a Wright Eclipse bodied Volvo B7RLE, at Gleadless Townend on the morning of 24th December 2009. I took five shots of this bus, and this was the only one where the destination screen showed up!  Sheffield Christmas 2009  (75)
MCW Metrobus 495 (JWF495W) entering West Street on 6th August 1983  South Yorkshire Transport in the 1980s  (65)

Christmas Eve dawned snowy and, at Gleadless Townend, foggy. As a result of the snow First service 51 was only running between Gleadless Townend and Crosspool when I took this picture of 69050 (SF55UBL) on Ridgeway Road. My new camera doesn't like some destination screens: this one was showing 51 Crosspool via City Centre  Sheffield Christmas 2009  (61)
TM Travel Optare Excel P505OUG on Leopold Street, 27th December 2008  Sheffield December 2008  (45)

29th January 2010Horsham, 30th December 2009 New
A visit to Horsham two months after Metrobus took over the Arriva routes in the town. Pity about the weather!
25th January 2010Rugby, 29th December 2009
I stopped off in Rugby for a couple of hours on 29th December 2009 during a journey from Sheffield to Guildford. The resulting photos of buses are seen here.
20th January 2010Northumberland and Tyneside Independents
Photos of buses and coaches from smaller operators in Tyneside and Northumberland (ie not Stagecoach, Go Ahead, Arriva and Northumbria) to date
19th January 2010Greater Manchester in the Late Eighties and Nineties
A random (and pathetically small) collection of photos taken in Greater Manchester in the nineties (plus a few from the eighties), a time when I didn't take many pictures, not even when working on Oxford Road in Manchester for a year.

As and when I find my notebooks I shall add more details ot the captions
14th January 2010Sheffield Christmas 2009
Photographs taken in Sheffield around Christmas 2009.
13th January 2010Sheffield December 2008
Rather late as a result of a change to my original plans, here are the photos taken around Christmas 2008 in Sheffield
13th November 2009Buses in Blackpool and Fylde
My visits to Blackpool are always primarily about the trams, but a few bus photos are usually taken. The collection starts with a few taken in St Annes, Blackpool and Fleetwood in November 2009, followed by some older shots from 1989 to 1998.

18 photos added on 18th January 2010
6th October 2009Barnsley in the late 80s and early 90s
Barnsley was somewhere I visited infrequently in the early years of deregulation, and never with the primary purpose of bus watching. Just a few photos here, mainly of operators competing with Yorkshire Traction.
5th October 2009Buses in Sheffield 1985 to 1999 part two
The second part of the Sheffield in the 80s and 90s collection covers operators which did not end up in the Traction Group, ie Chesterfield Transport, East Midland, SUT, Sheafline, West Riding etc

Three more photos added on 6th October 2009
Two more photos added on 8th October 2009
Five more photos (black and white!) added on 14th October 2009
2nd October 2009Buses in Sheffield 1985 to 1999, Part one
Buses of operators other than SYT/Mainline in Sheffield from deregulation to 1999. This is part one, recalling the operators which were bought by the Traction Group and ultimately Stagecoach in Sheffield, as well as Yorkshire Traction itself

Three photos added on 6th October 2009
Nine black & white (and a bit grainy) photos added 14th October 2009
Fourteen photos added on 26th October 2009
2nd October 2009A Scottish Tour, 1988
A holiday touring Scotland in 1988 gave me a chance to get a few photographs - spending hours spotting was not on the agenda - of varying quality, and some marred by a fault with one of the films. Inverness, Thurso and Edinburgh are the main parts of the collection
30th September 2009Mainline in Sheffield in the 1990s
I spent very little time in Sheffield in the 1990s, so only a small collection. Many of these images are scans of prints, so the quality is not always as good as I would wish. My notetaking left a lot to be desired as well, so some of the photos are (currently) undated.

Two more photos added on 6th October 2009
Four more photos added on 8th October 2009
Three B & W photos added on 14th October 2009
Eight more photos added on 26th October 2009
29th September 2009Other Buses in 2009
A collection of buses from my journeyings in 2009 which don't yield enough photos to merit collections.

Three photos added 1st November
24th September 2009Buses in the Scottish Borders
Despite living in Carlisle, I don't seem to get out into the Borders very often, so this is a small collection
14th September 2009Sheffield, Easter 2008
A few more buses in Sheffield, this time from Easter 2008. Most are in and around the Transport Interchange, first on the plan for the day. I gave up before too long due to the cold (for the first time in 25 years). Falling snow can be seen on some of the photos!
8th September 2009Other Buses in 2008
A miscellaneous collection of buses seen on my travels in 2008 which do not fit into any other collection: Shropshire, Chesterfield, Leighton Buzzard, Aviemore, Llangollen and others.
12th August 2009Poole, 1st August 2009
My first ever visit to Poole, and as ever less time than desired. It was one of those days: camera batteries not behaving as they should, rain and very poor light and a road layout which was not conducive to varied photography. Hence lots of photos in the Bus Station - how unimaginative, but better than nothing!
6th August 2009Northumbria Coaches 2006
Northumbria coaches vehicles photographed in 2006 in various parts of Tyneside and Northumberland
6th August 2009Arriva buses in Tyneside and Northumberland 2006
Arriva North East buses photographed during several trips to Tyneside and Northumberland in 2006
5th August 2009Go North East Buses in Tyneside and Northumberland 2006
Buses from the Go-Ahead group photographed in 2006, before all the different route liveries appeared. Some of the early 2006 photos were taken using 400ASA film, and hence are a bit grainy.
