Photographer Stephen Coombes served 41 years on the buses - and here, he celebrates |Torbay's transport over the years.
Retired bus driver Stephen, who lives in Torbay, spends a great deal of his spare time taking photographs of our #NaturallyInspiring Torbay and South Devon. In this feature, Stephen shares the beauty of the Bay and surrounding area with Torbay Weekly readers.
This week, Stephen shares his images of the sorts of buses he travelled around on, first as a conductor and then as a driver for 40 years.
Stephen would like to dedicate his pictures to the NHS frontline and support staff for all the tremendous life-saving work they are doing. Our Heroes.
