Bammot .......... I loved every second of it .....Wow
those buses did race around Birmingham much quicker
in those days than today , Thanks for finding it .
:) ragga :)
 
Cricky they certainly bombed around. I did notice a 55 I wonder if Michael was driving it! He drove 55 and 56's in the 60's!:)
 
In the early seventies, working one man/woman on crew timings on the 14,55 and 28's to keep to time, you only had two speeds, flat out and stop.
 
I rather suspect the film to video transfering has accidently speeded the rate these buses were travelling at, bur really nice shots and sound as well.

Did anyone notice the BCT Daimler with the non standard "Tin front" more akin to the later Daimlers?
