Can anyone please identify the two buses (probably Daimlers) behind CVP 172 Thanks for any help

We all know Red plate was compulsory; Blue by request. However, can anyone give information on a yellow plate.It has been on my mind that I did see one. It was exactly the same as the blue ones except yellowish. It was mounted on one of the old poles, that is on top, I think there was no to/from...

Sorry David, I have no idea. Only suggestion I have is that the driver made an "oops".

No, Lea Hall never provided buses for the Outer Circle. The main suppliers were: Acocks Green, Perry Barr/Birchfield Road, Harborne and there is some discussion about Quinton, but I must admit I never recall seeing a Quinton bus (at least in the late 50's early 60s).Of course in the case of a...

Just watched a BBC program called WPC 56. Shortly after opening shots 3002 shown running along street. Glad to see City of Birmingham emblem on side BUT route destination 11 CITY. Believe series set in mid 50s. At least they could have had a better route destination. Also later rear...

Here is another shot of 1383 leaving Quinton I believe

In response to post 191, 252 was actually withdrawn in 1975 and subsequently sold to Barnsley in January 1976. The only possibles that meet his suggestions are 2908 and 2932 (retired 1976), or 2901,2902, 2903, 2905, 2906, 2931, 2034 or 2939 retired 1977, although of course there are many other...

re ragga photo #1 - I think Bristol St incorrect, probably Horsefair based on see https://www.macearchive.org/archive.html?Title=3247

I have a "grainy picture" of 2833,2824 and 2044 on an outing I believe to Stourport on Severn. Nothing of 2852 I'm sorry

re picture 2 on 139 Washwood Heath for sure... is second part of another picture of retired buses. I'll dig the first part up. Clue us 2150 in this picture also other..which is now attached

Picture #2: I would hazard a guess that the bus has crossed Priory Road heading into town. The block of flats is actually "The Wicket Towers" located Priory Road/Pershore Road.

I have to agree with Oakworth, despite the lack of finer detail. No way it is California or Harborne. Interesting the bus is 2479 which originally was part of the Miller St group brought in to replace the trams in 1953, moved to Harborne after the intros of the BON C/FOC D series to Miller St...

There were in the late 1950's clocks Clockwise Sherlock St after turning off Belgrave Rd, I think Ivy Bush, outside Hockley Garage,Satley, and I though maybe one on Golden Hillock Rd. Anti Clockwise Outside Highgate Rd Garage, I think also on Golden Hillock Rd further down from the clockwise...

I also have a great interest in Birmingham Transport, although living in the wilds of Southern Alberta, just north of the Montana border.

Re post 83 Wasn't this 3385 - I remember seeing it at Tyburn Road, was a heck of a mess.
