Is there any collination between the old bundy clock or short workings.

I know the 40 West Bromwich to Wednesbury has one or two short workings (stone cross) and (friar park) both sites has these clock's.

Surely all of the traditional short 11A/C working terminuses had Bundy clocks so perhaps you're right.

It wasn't short working places, there were 3 bundy clocks on each direction at the three timing points

Whereabouts were these? I have vague recollections of there being bundy clocks at Bearwood Kings Head and Sarehole Mill, Hall Green but my memory isn't what it used to be.

Think there was one at Harborne and Erdington.

IIRC the two others were Swanshurst Lane (top) and Handsworth Wood (Church Lane at Hamstead Road island).

Another question is how long did Birmingham Bundy clocks stay in use with WMPTE?  Was it until the early 1980s?  I remember some appearing in ex-Midland Red territory in the 1970s,  such as Chelmsley Wood and Birmingham International Station.

There used to be one at the Lanchester Way terminus in Smith's Wood.
