A selection of shots of my local operator and former employer taken between 2001 and the present day. There has been a few changes in the local Bluebird fleet since I moved back to the North East in 1999 as Stagecoach's Moray manager, although these are all digital images taken post summer 2001. Most obvious is the complete lack of double deckers in Moray today after the August 2002 Moray Council tender regime improvements, seeing an end to the dependable Gardner/Voith Olympians, whilst Titans and then ex Hong Kong Olympians have now become a feature of operation in Macduff working for Aberdeenshire Council. However the continued investment in Bluebird, especially in the Moray patch is remarkable, by mid 2008 providing a very youthful profile indeed.

I'll include any Stagecoach Strathtay shots taken in the Abereen area here as well as the few workings through from Montrose don't justify a new collection. Bluebird Moray vehicles are also included here on service in Inverness.

These are all digital images taken with a Fuji Finepix 4700 camera up until October 2004 when I moved onto a Canon Powershot A95 camera and then to a Panasonic DMC-FZ30 camera in August 2006.

Thanks for visiting - haste ye back.
