In order to allow better photographic coverage and to present some of the bus-enthusiast.com material to a wider audience, I have started a Fotopic site which I intend to populate over time with material to support all three existing sites.
To go to the new Fotopic site, click on the link below for the site to open in a new browser window:

Merseyside & Cheshire Buses Material |
Merseyside Bus Club Material |
BusEurope Material |
Other Material |
Material in Fotopic sites is organised into "collections", each of which may be accessed from the main page which is reached by the URL given above. As and when I upload photographs on to the site, I will append the details below.
Stagecoach Merseyside's Titan Farewell - uploaded 12/2/06 with photographs from the Farewell Running Day on February 4th plus a couple of shots showing the Titans at work around Liverpool.
Arriva North West & Wales in 2006 - first twelve pictures uploaded; this collection is intended to build into a comprehensive record of a year in the life of the North West's largest operator.
Liverpool Independents (1): North West Travel A small but fascinating operator of tendered services and private hires in Liverpool and the Wirral.
Stagecoach Merseyside - first ten pictures now uploaded.
Selections of photographs taken on MBC tours - starting with the Derbyshire / Nottinghamshire trip on March 4th - will appear here. (To be uploaded Easter Weekend)
Netherlands Operators (1): BBA - A change to the organisation of this section means each operator will now have its own collection, starting with Connex-owned BBA.
Go-Ahead North East Photographs taken on two visits to the company's area. In June 2005 I visited Newcastle, Gateshead and South Shields whilst my February 2006 took me to Bishop Auckland, an area from which Go-Ahead has since withdrawn.
Metro Coastlines (Blackpool Transport) is one of my favourite operators. The variety of vehicle types and liveries combined with some of the fascinating backdrops available make the company a photographer's dream and as I visit the town quite regularly this collection will expand in time. First ten photos uploaded 10/04/06.
Keighley & District - another favourite of mine; I used K&D's buses on a regular basis when I was a student in the early 1990s. K&D now has one of the country's most modern - and smartest - fleets. This collection will be uploaded over the Easter weekend.
