thanks for all replies to my query its funny how we all used to use these buses but only know the part of the route that we used heres another the 56 from the clock garage i remember when you could see the passengers jumping from the rear platform as they came round the island just so they could catch their next bus they all looked like paratroopers when they alighted of course a practice stopped when they brought in the new buses

A bit of a basic question, but is the 28 still running, and along the same route? Viv
Going onwards from Short Heath towards Kingstanding, I think the only pub in between would have been the Crossways at Perry Common. Going the other way along Chester Road, there was also the Digby, set right back from the road.
I used to catch the 28 at the junction of Streetly Road and Short Heath Road, or at the bottom of Bleak Hill. I can tell you us school girls were barbaric when it came to getting onto that bus. We took NO prisoners!!! Viv.
Viv Don,t forget the Golden Cross on the corner of Turfpits Lane. Now gone replaced with houses. Dek
