Old West Midlands bus routes on the forum

[Stuharris 6360]

Here's me thinking that time I done a trip on the Outer Circle was a long trip ! Quite the route I must say, why did NX stop it ?! I'd prefer this to the 126.

To me, the best route between Birmingham & Wolverhampton was the 79, when HY, WB & WN all operated it together there was plenty of variety and with a frequency of every 6 minutes on a Saturday in the 70s, you were never short of a bus. Fortunately in those days, the traffic through Handsworth wasn't as bas as it is now, however with the 74 also being every 6 minutes you got bus jams sometimes.

I'd forgotten about that pink 260 branding. Nice. Some good rare pictures in that link, including a Network Harborne branded Merc. Thanks for posting.
