My wife uses it every weekday to go to her dads near Handsworth Cementery , they collect her at 8.00 to 8.15 and gets collected in the afternoon between 5.00 and 5.30. Very good service, almost a free taxi service. As its a charity and provides a service for people with mobility problems I think...

Is this the one Jean? it is a very interesting book for anyone into BCT.Buses are not one of my major passions but I do have a load of stuff on buses and trams which were given to me by my sis in law when my brother died. My link to BCT would be down to my dad who worked for them from 1934 to...

The card is no more Lyn it gave up the ghost a few years ago. I found it on a stall at Kidderminster Station (SVR) a few years ago. There is a guy there who sells old Ordnance Survey maps and he threw the card in free with a couple of maps.:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
