Some Strathtay slides from the 1980's taken (obviously!) after the company's formation in 1985. Some of the earlier shots are on film which doesn't lend itself too well to scanning, like Perutzchrome or Agfa in dull conditions. Here is a fair cross section of the fleet taken on various passing visits showing the earlier fleetnumbering series and some vehicles in Northern and Midland livery as acquired. I probably took more Routemasters at the expense of supposedly more mundane vehicles at the time time, but ach......well they were Routies!

These slides are taken on a variety of 100 and 200 ASA slide film and scanned with a Nikon Coolscan V ED film scanner.

Thanks for visiting - haste ye back.
