Welcome to my site, dedicated to the buses of Arriva North East Bishop Auckland depot. I have worked here since 2002 and this site contains pictures taken since 2005.
If you wish to see pictures of other Arriva North East buses, please check my 'Links' section on the right hand side, to take you to fotopic sites ran by a few of my friends. Although of late I have started to publish my own pictures of other Arriva North East buses, you will find these in their own collection.
Please feel free to comment and get in touch. I will try to reply to every comment and message but please don't ask about accidents etc., nor waste my time by leaving abusive or stupid comments. They will only be deleted!
Please note this site has no official endorsement by Arriva PLC. If you wish to make use of any of my images, please get in touch. The right-click option has been disabled and if I find any of my images somewhere I haven't authorised, then I will become very angry.....!
Cameras in use at the moment are a Kodak Z1485 digital, an Olympus E-420 DSLR and two 35mm film cameras, an Olympus OM10 and a XA.
Enjoy the site, and thank you for visiting. |
