I've been a serious transport enthusiast, buses and trams mainly but railways and sea enjoyed as well, for the whole of my life - well certainly from the age of three onwards.

I have been a conductor, driver, inspector (very reluctant), and office worker with many bus and coach concerns from 1957 until retiring in 2001. The companies have been :-

Samuel Ledgard

West Yorkshire Road Car Co . Ltd.

Murgatroyds of Summerbridge.

Independent Coachways/Edwards Coachways

Wallace Arnold Tours Ltd.

Leeds City Transport/Metro.

South Yorkshire Road Transport/Caldaire/British Bus/Cowie/Arriva
