Yes mike
These buses have been coming back and forth to droitwich and Worcesters city to mark the centuryian of the Maggie red as kids we called
Trying to catch the red numbers especial the trolley reds meaning the single decker coming from town
And along the Lichfield road it was a new phase we meaning all the kids up cromwell terrace
And there would have been at Least ten kids. We was all armed with pencil and exercise books bought from old diggers news agents
On Lichfield road when we seen red in the distance as far as Aston cross coming we would all charge along to old mattys radio shop
And stand there as the red used to stop just short of mattys radio and television shop but more often than that they would surge passed us
One or the other of us would shout did any body got the number eventually we packed that up and went train s
Rotting down at Aston Station, but even that was short lived as our parents did not want us to walk down there to the station
But by then conker season.came around and Mrs ilesley from the shop at the bottom of the terrace gave us all a tin of conkers from her posh garden in harbourne
It was very rare went on that Miggi. Red bus mainly on the trams after the change over we traveled on the old BCT cream busses
For half penny fare then it went up to 1 Penny fare did you get the coloured tokens for travelling on the busses for school kids we're did we're have all colours
Best wishes and a merry christmas and a happy. And healthy and prosperous new year to you and one and all Alan,,,Astonian,,,,
