I have a picture of 109CLT somewhere with the lower half painted blue, will have to try and dig it out, I think it was going to end up in full R&D livery like WLT584 but never got completed this was the good old days in Sheffield for me, can still hear the RM's Groves fleetlines and Dennis Dominators going past the end of my road Here is the picture of 109CLT with lower half repaint  |

thing is with photos is that at the time they were nothing special but are now pure gold! Agreed - which is why I take a lot of shots of "uninteresting" things today because one day we'll miss what is "everyday" at the moment. Some great pictures on this thread - wish I had been in Sheffield more at the time - very colourful  |

It's the "nothing special" bit that makes them special. Back in the eighties and early nineties I couldn't afford to pay for lots of film and processing, so I tended to ignore the everyday & only photograph the new or unusual, and I am sure many other people did the same, so your shots of the "ordinary" buses are much appreciated. Gone too far the other way now with the digital cameras, and I tend to photograph almost everything  Keep them coming, andyrad. |

Routmasters in Sheffield were anything but "ordinary" at the time but i know what you are saying..thanks for the comments |

Perhaps I could have phrased it better: what I meant was that in my impoverished years I would have regarded the Routemasters as "ordinary" because they were meant to be working that route.
The one that bugs me now is not photographing the panoramic windowed Atlanteans that sut had (can't remember if they were ex Lothian or Strathclyde) because they were the ordinary service buses, but chasing a coach which appeared on the sut 56 one day, and getting shots of the Metroriders when they were new.

Must say my first camera was a disc camera, that only took 15 photo's so you had to be careful what you took. Now with a digital camera, i have been out today and took above 100 photos and thought nothing about it and will go out tomorrow again and took another 100, how things have changed. |
