hiya lads , i found a photo of GOG 590N parked up at Solihull with the Travel west midlands logo on it ,apparently i thought it had been relocated from Coventry  Road to BC but BCC had no fleetlines ,any ideas were 4590 may have been located after 26Th October 1986 Deregulation day many thanks .

where can i find a picture of bissell bus bon 497c on flickr, it was taken in 1976 on the 169 bus route in chelmsley thanks  :D

hiya any ideas of where i could find a picture or photo of  bissell bus bon497c taken in chelmsley in 1976 , ive looked on flickr and ebay ,any websites i can look out for it . :D

on a sunday , what are the domestic driving hours is it about 6 hours  :)

thanks busfan i remember they used to garage share alot of midland red routes i guess this bus may have been on loan  ;)

was kox 747f a lea hall based bus, i saw a picture on ebay its route was 193e operating to pine square , im thinking this photo was taken before 1976 ,

hello lads I've just found out about the times on routes 163 169 and 193 operating at 1,11,21,31,41,51 every hour, does that mean wmpte routes 53 and 54 worked 5 minutes later than the times shown

re open lea hall bus garage

i remember the 377 and 25 obviously they didnt work out so the 72 makes up for that , if they reroute the 72 around shard end there would be better links to JLR and solihull for those residents which is good idea  ;D

wouldnt it be a good idea to re introduce the  26 city to bromford operating at 20 minutes service and re route the 38 operating via erdington to bromford operating a 30 minutes service serving chipperfield road

i spotted AG located 4658 on the 97 route tuesday morning may have been on loan to BC

can i send out a happy birthday message to the 97 bus route which is now 40 years young , prior to that it was the 53 operating to shirestone road only .great drivers on a very busy corridor, keep up the good work  :D

its nearly the 40th anniversary the old 53 bus route was renumbered 97 and extended to chelmsley wood on the 26th november 1976 operating from coventry road garage , alot of ex midland red fleetlines along side park royals and daimlers were used, at the same time 163 was renumbered 98 and operated from lea hall garage again using daimlers and park royal buses .

hiya when the 73 bus route moved from acocks green to birmingham central where now is the driver relief point , is it in digbeth or priory queensway  :)

i bet the lad  the 97 driver must have been absolutely knackered i do praise the work and effort for all drivers on the route  :D
