Have lived in the Bedford area for most of my life with a spell between 91-7 in Luton, I live on the outskirts of the county town now, working for a large retail outlet with hours that allow plenty of free time during the day. Having followed the rail and bus industry from an early age and can just remember the end of steam and the Blue Pullman on the Midland Mainline, my bus interests stem from summer holidays firstly at Yarmouth then the Isle of Wight and Bournemouth. I have many memories of the loaned and purchased vehicle of UC in the seventies but alas no photos. At present am working on a UC vehicle history.
My main interests outside our local area are Scottish fleets and Hong Kong. Will add a section on my scottish visits of 1988 and 2006 as and when time permits plenty of classic shots there.
