Hope you enjoy it.

Whats left of it. A day at work with Stagecoach Hartlepool with lots of snow. There is one more picture still to added when I find it, Volvo B10M 20256 R556RPY smashed up after crash at Port Clarence.

sorry that there is only two photos. I did have a nice collection of middlesbrough Bus Station but i lost them all with the other couple of hundered when my hard-drive failed. I managed to save these two.

These where my first digital photos. Again there was oringally allot more than how many there is here. I threw away all my floppy disks that contained these pics but after 5 years these have managed to escape. Again this is before the health and saftey thing came i but i was with Barry who worked for a driver for stagecoach hartlepool at this time.
