Buses nowadays appear to have much better paint jobs than some years ago. They try to get them looking bright, colourful and modern. This Double-Decker in Sheffield uses the original three colours that Sheffield buses had fifty years ago - dark blue, lighter blue and cream. Done quite well, I think. Many come with WiFi and charging points - very useful!
The inspiration for this photo was one of the tutorials by Serge Ramelli. I took from tripod 12 shoots in about 10 seconds intervals - this allowed me to 'erase' all people from the shoot by working on all photos as layers in CS5. Final processing in Lightroom 5.
And the cherry on top of the cake was this red, unusual for Coventry Doubledecker :)

Jeannie is such a darling and let’s me do anything I want - love her so much. I am not one that dress up my dog but in that case couldn’t help myself and placed her little stuffed doggie on top of her - she only sighed, rolled up her eyes then squeezed them shut tight.

Here’s a classic AEC Regent III double-decker, rolling down London’s Route 19 for a heritage running day, bringing back the good ol’ days!
Passengers are hopping on with grins, reliving a bygone era when a cheery conductor took your cash fare, and the only thing greener than the bus was the nostalgia—let’s just skip the emissions chat!

SU45-145 with regional passeneger train no. 58833 from Tczew to Chojnice, departs from Czersk station. The number indicates a longer service to Szczecinek or Piła, apparently shortened here to Chojnice. And here we have doubledecker set also shortened to 3 sections. October 16, 2004.

SU45-145 z regionalnym pociągiem osobowym nr 58833 z Tczewa do Chojnic, odjeżdża z Czerska. Numer sugeruje relację gdzieś w ex-Pomorską DOKP (Szczecinek lub Piła), najwyraźniej z jakiegoś powodu handlowo skróconą. A zestaw piętrowy jest tu też skrócony o jeden środkowy człon, do sumarycznie trzech. 16 października 2004 r.

While Summerhill Garage has been busy sending out its fleet of Wrightbus streetdecks into sevice, charging issues at Phibsboro Garage meant only one or two buses went out in service every day. Champion of the EW class at Phibsboro has been EW 61, seen here operating a northbound route 122 from Drimnagh, its more " I am the one & only " humming by Chesney Hawkes than Aquaman.

Oh, look at this fine feathered scene on Dublin's Camden Street! The number 15 bus, proudly crisscrossing the city from Ballycullen Road to the heart of the action, has parked itself right outside Camden Rotisserie—where the chickens are clearly plotting their escape! With its green and yellow glory, this double-decker is the unsung hero of Dublin’s streets, dodging traffic and delivering passengers past every Centra in sight. Maybe the bus driver’s secret plan is to grab a chicken sandwich mid-route!
Speaking of routes, the 15 bus knows Dublin like the back of its hand—or should we say, wing? It weaves past Camden’s clucking hotspots, zips by Centra for a quick snack break, and keeps the city’s chicken-obsessed commuters on schedule. Rumor has it, the chickens at Camden Rotisserie have a special signal for the bus to slow down—just in case they need a lift out of town! Next stop: freedom, or at least a detour to the next Centra!
And let’s not forget the Centra shop, standing tall beside this poultry pandemonium. While the 15 bus rolls on, it’s the perfect pit stop for anyone who’s peckish after a wild ride. With Camden chickens on one side and a convenience store on the other, this street corner is the ultimate Dublin mashup—where buses, birds, and buns collide in hilarious harmony!

Another shot of Hunters Volvo Olympian P689 JBD for the collection, seen descending Royal Oak Way on the 4th of October 2016. I was actually waiting for another bus, but it would have been very rude not to photograph this, even if I do have similar shots from this spot.

I photographed this in Oporto in April 1977. Was the designer on drugs - or perhaps a fan of sci-fi comics?!
Interestingly there is an offside rear door and the staircase is at the back too.
Operating the Ravenstone to Barnard Castle 572 service, This is considered by Cumbria Classic Coaches to be their "modern" bus !
Summerhill Volvo Olympian RV 552 climbing past City Hall in Dublin operating an evening route 124 service to St James' Hospital.
It was always going to be an "evening " service, as the route itself was a short working of route 123 from Marino to Drimnagh, with just three departures southbound at 17:30, 18:03 and 18:22 intermixed with the regular 123.
The route came into being on the 20th August 2006 during a timetable revision of the 123 & with another change on the 14th November 2010.
It was nice to capture the 124 display on a Vultron fitted display, as seen on RV 552 above.
For more on the shorty route 124, have a visit to DublinBusStuff....
