I was born and educated in North Staffordshire and now live over the border (through passport control) in South Cheshire. Although I have always had a keen interest in transport I have never pursued it as a career, I worked in the professional sound and lighting industry and I now restore and sell vintage audio items. My other main hobby is music, and I have an enormous record collection and used to work as a DJ.

I have been involved in bus preservation for twenty years and I own a 1971 Bedford VAL coach, which has taken up much time and money for the last 15 years!

I enjoy taking photographs and would like to share a few from my extensive (but sometimes dodgy) collection.
