All the images in this blog are of buses registered to subsidiaries of the ‘Go-Ahead’ group.
I have been taking photographs of buses in Oxford for some years and I have always been fortunate in having dry weather.
This particular day was in late autumn with a clear and sunny sky.
The only problem is that Oxford is a historic city with narrow streets and many tall buildings which between them create a variety of difficulties with shadows.
As always, it is all about making the best of what you have.
I hope you enjoy this selection.
I have long been an admirer of ‘Wrightbus’ Eclipse Gemini body which is built on a variety of chassis.
The ‘normal’ appearance is that of a high domed roof.
For a number or reasons, some operators wanted a lower version with an almost flat roof.
Whilst it is still an attractive bus to my eyes, the lower height seems to completely change the character of the bus.
Before we get into the low roofed buses, I will start with a high roofed one to illustrate the difference.
What do you think?
