My name is Alan. I originate from Sunderland and spent many years living in South Shields and elsewhere (out of the area) before migrating to Scarborough, although I still spend more than a quarter of my time in South Shields with my family.

I have been interested in buses, coaches and trams since being a young teenager (in the 1960s), but my interest waned for a while in the face of competition from football and girls. I regained my interest about 30 years ago - ( to the astonishment of my wife) - and have been an avid photographer ever since.

My other hobby is travel and this nicely combines with photography and has resulted in my collection of bus, coach and tram photos from many parts of the world.

I am a member of the Omnibus Society.
