Here's a picture for Midland Red fans. It's fleet number 335 (registration HA2248 Tilling-Stevens FS chassis no 2725 with Carlyle KO22/29F body no BB282). New in 1923, withdrawn 1928. The scan isn't good enough to show it, but the destination board reads "Upton-on-Severn" and the service number is 358. Not exactly Birmingham but not too far away! The Tilling-Stevens FS was a forward control version of the petrol-electric TS3. These remarkable bus bodies were built by Midland Red at Carlyle Rd works. After these were withdrawn BMMO did without double-deckers until 1931 when the prototype REDD entered service.
