Thames on route 81 Photo

Photographer’s Note

Buses of Malta (5/5)

One more shot of these gems. This bus is built on Ford Thames ET7 chassis and dates from early 50's. According to Keith Till's photo archive this is one of the three remaining sharp nosed models remaining in regular service. And it runs better than many newer ones.

Another beautiful colord bus, I see that all of the serie are different one from the other, amusing and interesting situation, I think at when all the bus are together in a depot.
Well done, compliments.
Have a nice week-end
Ciao

Looks like the good old days! :~)! Good composition giving an impression of peacefulness. The bus driver takes his time to have a little chat...unthinkable here in Luxemburg.

Hello Kari,
Still on the road, hmmm... Seems to be very well kept, at least on the outside!
Good point of view and strong colours, I like the interaction between the driver and the other guy...
Well composed image, sharp fine details but the sky could be better!
Greetings,

Terve Kari,
Nice piece of the oldies you're presenting here, apparently very well maintained judging by the shining blacks, and it shows people there are not too stressed by schedules and take time to have a chat
Have a nice day,JY

Hello Kari,
Nice POV, great colours and impressively huge machine;) Vivid contrast between colours of the bus and moody surroundings. Well done!
Cheers,
