Perhaps that is what he told Dad, selective hearing, he was a strange man, although he knew I was interested in buses, he did not appear to be, never invited me to the garage or anything like that and could not or would not answer my questions on the new buses etc (circa late 40s)Birmingham Corporation erected all the bus stops within the city boundary for both the Corporation buses and Midland Red buses so they used the standard Birmingham Corporation post but substituted a round Midland Red flag. Normally Midland Reds inbound into the city stopped at Corporation stops but had their own stops outbound. I think this stop was because it was alighting only as it was the last stop with Midland Reds then turning right into New Street to load for routes to Walsall and Sutton Coldfield. By 1964 the Midland Red bus station would have been built so the terminus would be just one more stop to the bus station so no one would wait for a bus here.
