I need to research the tram system I did not know has far a field they traveled. I thought they only ran locally.

What am I missing here ?, why aren't these trams painted in the iconic blue and cream colours of Birmingham transportation. The very colours us older folks have looked for all of our lives.

Nice look back but you have the location wrong I did all that but is was Longbridge and the Lickeys, ride our bikes to Blackwell scrumping, picking conkers up the Lickey Road Ride on the bus to town just because. Sit on the railway embankment waiting to spot a train or waiting on the train to...

well I got to the buy a old bus idea a little late, it would appear the old buses have become a real collector prize, somewhat like old cars, a English friend bought a car for 25,000 back in the day the first time I got my hands on one in 84 the value had gone to 1 million, the second...

The internet has a completely different value of buses, I have spent some time rooting around, as I intend to own a old bus
