Autosan A1012T #K44 OTS
7 marca 2022 - Geevor Tin Mine, Pendeen One of only 57 Autosan A1012T in the UK and with numbers now rapidly reducing, I never miss an opportunity to take this one to spectacular places.
Autosan A1012T #K44 OTS
7 marca 2022 - Geevor Tin Mine, Pendeen. Seen here while operating a private hire for school children to this prefectly preserved Cornish Tin Mine; a little bit of off-roading!

Optare MetroCity #YJ15 AXF
2 czerwca 2017 - Sudbrooke Lane, Nettleham. Seen here heading back to Nettleham village to commence the 1100 to Lincoln is this PC Coaches Optare MetroCity (YJ15AXF). This vehicle was used on the temporary Lincoln Castle P&R service along with Solo SR`s and Wright Streetlites: some, if not all, of which have now been absorbed in to the PC Coaches service fleet, usurping older vehicles and allowing expansion in to Louth. Having had a ride on this yesterday, I was most impressed by the ride and build quality: it shames the Nottingham Community Transport BYD eBus I sampled the day before!

2 czerwca 2017 - Sudbrooke Lane, Nettleham. Seen here arriving at it`s terminus and turning point prior to commencement of the 1100 to Lincoln is this PC Coaches Optare MetroCity (YJ15AXF).

Autosan A1012T #BX06 OAE
17 kwietnia 2017 - The Malakoff, St Ives. One of the 57 `English Liders`, this example is seen here taking part in a transport heritage event in West Cornwall. Many regard this location as the most scenic bus station in the UK.

1 maja 2017 - Cliff Road, Falmouth. Seen preparing for a late night private hire is this rare coach - a newcomer to the UK market but ideal for accessing difficult locations, and many places in Cornwall are difficult to access! In the background you can see Pendennis Castle illuminated on it`s headland.
Mercedes-Benz O530G #11038
11 kwietnia 2017 - Unnamed Service Road, Eden Project, St Austell. Articulated buses are rare here in the UK, but this tourist attractions can be so busy that the buses used here have to be capable of carrying large numbers of people over short distances. Therefore, articulated buses are ideal. The previous operator of this contract, Truronian, also used Mercedes Citaro types. When First South West first took on this Park & Ride service they attempted to use Volvo B7LA vehicles from elsewhere, but they were not powerful enough to climb hills. Therefore, this is one of a number of Citaro types transferred from elsewhere in the First Group.

Autosan A1012T #BX06 OAE
17 kwietnia 2017 - Unclassified Road, Morvah. There were only 57 Autosan A1012T built for the United Kingdom market, with the driver on the right-hand side of the vehicle. I entered and drove this example on a heritage transport event along some beautiful rural routes. It was a very nice bus to drive - powerful and smooth.

Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 II #E182
7 marca 2015 - Katharine St, Croydon. A common sight on the streets of London, but I thought this photo worthwhile due to the way the light illuminates the bus, together with the unique architectural mix that characterises London.

VDL DB250 / Wright Pulsar Gemini #DW44
7 marca 2015 - Park Lane, Croydon. Now among the older vehicles on Londons roads is this unusual Wright bodied VDL. Arriva were big importers and operators of VDL products, but other operators were not so enthusiastic. Note St Georges House in the background - once the headquarters of Nestlé in the UK, but now being converted in to apartments.

Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 Hybrid #2487
7 marca 2015 - Wellesley Road, Croydon. Some of the first examples of the new Enviro400 design from Alexander Dennis have been delivered to this operator. One is seen here, passing a tram - at this moment in time 2 rare sights in Britains roads. The bus, I suspect, will become much more common.
Volvo B6LE / Alexander ALX200 #JFZ 8626
19 lutego 2015 - Lumley Road, Skegness. ALX200 bodies on the Volvo B6 chassis are rare - many survivors now have been scrapped in any case. So, it was good to find one still in service providing a shuttle service for holiday makers in this popular coastal holiday town - although the weather was typically British on this day!
Scania L94UB / Wright Solar #NC06 PCC
20 lutego 2015 - Church Street, Nettleham. Roadworks in Lincoln City Centre were delaying all buses serving this nearby village, but this independent operator retained their loyal local passengers in the face of stiff competition from Stagecoach.
Mercedes-Benz 811 D / Plaxton Beaver #L357 VCV
26 grudnia 2014 - The Moor, Falmouth. The day after Christmas Day is known as `Boxing Day` in the UK. It is a holiday where public transport traditionally does not operate, although that is slowly changing as more businesses open on this day. However, in smaller towns like Falmouth, no buses or trains run on Boxing Day so I operated a free bus service for local people to use with my own bus - seen here being driven by a friend.

Dennis Dart SLF / Caetano Nimbus #HV02 PCU
21 listopada 2014 - A433 nr. Didmarton. I had the honour of driving this from Oxford to the new owner, my employer, in Cornwall. The journey was long, and the weather was dismal. The season and weather is nicely captured in this photo I think.
Volvo Olympian / Alexander Royale #34193
12 listopada 2014 - Liskey Hill, Perranporth. First Devon & Cornwall, formerly Western National, were for many years the largest operator in Cornwall having inherited the regulated network when privatised in the 1980s. However, over the last 15 years their dominance had been severely beaten by numerous independent operators, but particularly by Western Greyhound in swathes of mid Cornwall. However, as standards at Western Greyhound drop significantly, First have made a comeback by launching a number of competitive services. An example of which is this service, launched just a week before this picture was taken and good loads are already being carried - as can be seen here.

8 sierpnia 2014 - School Road, Summercourt, Newquay. My very own bus, seen here during the drive home the day I took ownership. I took the opportunity to take a photograph with a much older and well cared for preserved bus with local connections.

Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 #19072
21 lipca 2014 - East Street, Nettleham. Stagecoach have a mixture of Scania/Enviro400 and all-Alexander Dennis Enviro400s branded for InterConnect work in Lincolnshire. Here is an example of the latter, which started life in Manchester.

17 czerwca 2014 - Hayle Terrace, Hayle. Seen here from across Copperhouse Pool with St Elwyns Church in the background. This bus remains just 1 of 4 in the entire fleet to have the new corporate livery due to being transferred from another part of the UK.

AEC Routemaster RML #RML2290
14 czerwca 2014 - Round Garden, Crantock. For my 200th photo on Phototrans, there was no alternative to a big red Routemaster. Now retired from almost 50 years of hard work in the capital, this British legend has come to rural Cornwall for an easier life. Now predominantly used for private hires, and very popular for transporting guests to and from wedding venues as it was when this photo was taken.
Volvo Olympian / Alexander RH #34192
8 czerwca 2014 - A39 Penryn By-pass, Penryn. Seen here running from Falmouth depot to Camborne depot, presumably for routine maintenance, which is the only reason I can think of why one of these would be using this road on a Sunday!
Scania CN270UB 4x2 EB #516
19 maja 2014 - Lower Parliament Street, Nottingham. Nottingham City Transport is now one of just a small handful of municipal operators left in the UK, and like most municipals their operating territory is largely confined within the city boundaries. However, this service 100 (branded as "Pathfinder") does extend beyond the city and in to the countryside beyond.
Optare Solo M950 #999
19 maja 2014 - Middle Hill, Nottingham. A free shuttle service operates within the city centre, using a fleet of 100% electric buses. One such example is seen here, and in the background one of the trams operating in the city can be seen, so I suppose you could say there are two electric vehicles in this shot!

Scania L94UB / Wright Solar #678
19 maja 2014 - Greyfriar Gate, Nottingham. TrentBarton have a myriad of liveries and colour schemes. Each route, group of routes or areas have their own brand, but of course some vehicles are kept in a generic livery so they may operate on any route without looking out of place. Such an example is this vehicle, carrying a message that using buses is cheaper than using a car.

17 maja 2014 - Broadgate, Lincoln. With much better weather than my last visit, I couldn`t resist recreating a photo with the massive and beautiful cathedral in the background. However, this time I went one step further and waited for this particular vehicle, which Stagecoach have painted in this vivid livery. The livery is particularly apt here as it is a stylised version of the county flag of Lincolnshire.

Mercedes-Benz 413 CDI / Ferqui Soroco #239 TRL
16 maja 2014 - Long Rock Car Park, nr. Penzance. The beautiful Mounts Bay wakes up to the early sunrise at 0630. The beauty of this area is best observed at this time of day: just a few hours later the area will be full of tourists and locals alike, enjoying the hugely popular South West Coast Path.
Scania N230UD / Alexander Dennis Enviro 400 #15612
23 lutego 2014 - Stagecoach Bus Depot, Corn St, Witney. Puddles everywhere: this about sums up the UK recently, but this puddle has nothing to do with our nations long tradition of rain! Being near the bus wash, this part of the depot often gets wet and I think used to good effect in this shot.

Mercedes-Benz 411 CDI / Koch #BU06 CVD
30 stycznia 2014 - Lindum Road, Lincoln. PC Coaches run a frequent service from the city centre and station to the Cathedral, which is elevated some way above the city and situated on such a steep hill that some people may find hard to walk to it. For this service there are a small number of these nimble little Mercedes Sprinters: the mountain goat of the UK bus industry!
Mercedes-Benz 411 CDI #V11 OTS
13 stycznia 2014 - Gillan Creek, nr. Manaccan, Lizard Peninsular. Formerly the Truronian T3 "Lizard Rambler" service, this deeply rural once-a-day service is now the 323 "East Lizard Link", operated by OTS of Lamanva Cross (nr. Falmouth). This vehicle has been branded for the service. Another of my favourite routes from my time working for Truronian, when I used to drive a narrow-boded Mercedes 711D. Even in that, the mirrors would scrape the hedges in the narrowest sections of this route!

Optare Solo M710SE #707
9 stycznia 2014 - Pendower Road, Veryan. There are 4 "roundhouses" in this small Cornish village, in pairs at ether end of the village. Passing through the southernmost pair is this small Optare Solo, nearing the end of it`s trek from Truro.
