A Couple of CV Electrics were featured on Midlands outside UHC, there was a Harry Potter Electric on BBC News and BBC Midlands Today have done a Central News and have Birmingham City Centre in the background so you can see Moor Street, HS2, Primark and as a result there is also several NX buses.

This Town also features an old WMT or BCC Liveried Bus 6567 or 6765 I think on the 27 I assume a fictional 27 as it picked up the Irish Character from Chelmsley Wood I believe

It is 6757 in WMPTE livery on Coventry route 27. Commendable by the TV production company but I'm not going into the minutiae of Sandy Lane/Harnell Lane accuracy.

Just like a scene filmed in Wolverhampton showing a stop flag from 2019!

Well they said Chelmsley Wood was in Birmingham. By the early 1980s it was part of Solihull.

Yes I noticed that the diamond banqueting suite was renamed Villa Cross the Coach and Horses in West Bromwich was able to turned into the Happy Trouper surely they should have enough money to put a WMT Bus Stop and then after they had finished they put the TFWM Flag back up. If I did that at College as I did Media the Tutors would either say it couldn't be helped or that I could use Photoshop and then put a Flag over the TFWM Flag and then adding an 80's filter it would look authentic. They have money to replace it
