Bus Liveries Just had a reply from Travel Care [[email protected]] or Travel WM as was! They say that the buses I had seen are no longer painted in this livery. Bill.

Scouts Wendy/All, I too was in the 151st Birmingham, based in the hall behind the Methodist Church at the 'Top of the Rock', as it was known - Alum Rock Road, for a few years, don't remember us going to Yorkswood, although we knew of it but do remember we did a 'gang show' and several...

Bacciochi I too went to school with Paul, Leigh Road J&I, I think he was in the same class as me leaving in 1959 and going to Ward End Hall. I don't remember him being at Ward End for too long so I guess they moved. I have two photographs from around Christmas 1954, I think, with about 50...

All, Some good memory joggers here. I remember the gritting lorries as I used to live at the top of the hill on the Washwood Heath Road, almost opposite the Bus Garage. When it had snowed during the night I would be woken with the sound of 4 or 5 drivers/staff from the depot shvelling...

West Bromwich buses I believe these were originally West Bromwich Corporation buses, presumably incorporated into WM Travel along with Birmingham City Transport and Walsall Corporation buses, who also had a large fleet of trolley buses. I notice that TravelWM have repainted some of their new...

Hi everyone, Lots of good memories and memory joggers from you all. Some more to add, my Father, Henry John Chinn, was born at, I think 1/161, which was 1 back of 161, Clifton Road although the Family home was 159. He was a twin but sadly his brother, William Percy, died before...

Ward End Park I too, lived on Washwood Heath Road and visited the park often. I can remember actually cycling on the park pond when it froze in 1963[and falling off! - several times!!]. In around 1964/5/6 a crowd of us used to play football at the top of the hill, most evenings, until 'Big...
