Hi @Tony, the links for Metroline DM964 & DM965 lead to the same picture of DM964.

Hi. I've recently come by quite a large collection of old bell punch tickets. They're a mixture of bct & b'ham corporation tramway & omnibus department. Included are values from ha'penny up to 1/7 with some ordinary, some child & some workmen's tickets. A lot have adverts on the back while some are blank.

I've been trying to do some research on the tickets but info seems scarce. I was hoping there might be somebody on the forum, possibly an older member, who could answer a few questions that i've got.

I wondered whether there was a definite difference between bus and tram tickets? A couple show elmdon to city - could these be trolleybus tickets/is there a way to tell? Are any of the adverts, some of which are for small firms, rarer than others? What's the significance of the letters in the top left hand corner? Also, i have one ticket (bell punch) displaying free ticket (b'ham city transport) - why would these have been issued?

Answers to any or all of the above questions really would be much appreciated, or even pointers to where i can find relevant info.
