WELCOME TO THE MIDLAND RED EARLY DAYS (MRED) THREAD!
View attachment 53366
Frontispiece (click to enlarge): Lloyd's "outrageous" 2010 colouring (which turns out to be remarkably historically accurate!) of a Josiah Allen engraving of Dr William Church's 1833 steam carriage. The primaeval Midland Red double-decker, seen on the Coventry Road.
If you are looking for specific information, go to the MRED Index. Otherwise, enjoy your browsing!
I am starting this thread as a vehicle (excuse the pun!) for the discussion of the early days of the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Co Ltd (BMMO = Midland "Red"). Let's say from the formation of the companies that came together as BMMO, up to the end of World War 1.
Perhaps I'll start with a question: does anyone know of a surviving Tilling-Stevens TTA1 or TTA2 (or TS3 for that matter) in working order?
