Hello Speedy, I don't come from Birmingham but lodged in Bromwall Road for 3 years so got to know the area . Cadey's Georgian house lasted until it was knocked down for the flats there now. It's a shame as it must have been a nice looking house when it had more garden instead of the garage and...

Ah, you'll have to ask a Brummie that Maurice! By the way the Flights coach was one of two taking the B.C.T. Head Office staff on an outing to Malvern. The time would therefore be about 11-10am.

True Lynne, the 29 and 29A and later the 90 were all cross city services as was the 16. Traffic and bad time keeping eventually led to splitting the routes to terminate in the city centre.

Very close Maurice, but Rupert and Bee Gee cracked it - well done. Said it wouldn't last long.

Not expected to last long, where is this?

Great colour shots ragga although the camera lens has slightly distorted the images - not complaining though, keep em coming please. Mike

Ah, the secret Dek is that I was trained properly in the first place by the Friendly Midland Red at their Bearwood Training School and if you didn't get it 100% right you were out on your ear (or in my case put back to conducting). My time on BCT was more of a guest appearance as I soon...

A lot of years ago I drove the 29A - you may have been on my bus without us knowing it. I was the driver that gave a smooth and enjoyable journey and did not go round islands on two wheels :angel::D

What, in the Baldwin for a tot or the Kingstanding/Pheasey end? lol (sorry couldn't resist that one Jean, I know really).

2) is at 'The Baldwin', Hall Green, the terminus of the 29A and 90 from Kingstanding and Pheasey Estate

Thanks Dek, I've had a lie down and feel much better now.:thumbsup:

Senior moment! Sorry, forgot to press 'reply with quote' to ragga, no, I'm the old bloke driving the single deck Fleetline at Stoke.:redface:

Sheepcote Street Garage in Midland Red days.

A really nice ten penneth Morturn. Thanks for posting it.

Nice one ragga, not only a cracking photo but me driving - fame at last (well on BHF anyway lol)

I think sylviasayers hit the nail on the head. More than dwindling numbers was the growth of vandalism to the extent that members no longer felt safe in some parks. No doubt the cost of repairs following vandalism made it more economical to close down the meeting places. I seem to recall some...

It's a wonder there is no smoke coming off the rear nearside tyre as the wheelarch must be in contact with it!
