I don't believe it is Tyburn Road. Possibly Moseley Rd after withdrawal and complete restoration - note the bus is carrying Birmingham coat of Arms.

Lets us hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as MOF 102, bought by a group of vandals in Manchester

I believe this was not closing day, but opening day.

This is probably MOF 164 which was located until 1991 near Loan France as a mobile cafe. Looks in pretty poor shape now. Where was this picture taken? Attaching a picture from earlier times

There's a idea for an enterprising bunch of people - Guided tour of the tunnels. 20 pound/a head

I think JOJ 282 is just crossing Priory Road. The crane is probably on the site of the old Edgbaston Preparatory School. The picture was probably taken after Dec 1963 since the bus following, which I think is JOJ 959 is headed to Egghill Lane Estate which operated after Dec 1963. Nice picture

I knew my Dad (W.A.J. Mitchell) was in the Home Guard, but never realized he was a Lieutenant. From what I gathered, during the war he had the responsibility to make sure the trams were kept running around track damaged from bombing.

I was interested in seeing the Walsall-Bourneville episode, but of course, living out of the UK found it impossible. However, did finally manage to find the whole series on a site. Slow download, but after tinkering with the format, managed to see it. The Beeb really do excellent types of...

JOJ 77 was based at Yardley Wood... Moseley Road had 2031-2070. YW 2071-2100, Perry Barr 2101-2130

I agree. At no time did any of the "Circle" routes meet, although they did come pretty close.

If we can get all the bus numbers I can check when the others were withdrawn as well. 3422 went with 3418 as well

according to the information contained in a WMPTE book I have, it was March 1980, to Whiting Brothers, Pontefract and then to Parton & Allen - Carlton perhaps in November 1980

But the second picture is of HOV 865!!:)

Tyburn Road via Gravelly Hill, until July 5 1953 when replaced by buses

Cadbury works canteen?

I have the actual pictures of 1,2 and 3. If Sticher cannot scan them I can photograph them. Also have 733 Rubery terminus 551 Renal terminus 774 Northfield 396 Rednal coming up Lickey Rd 779 Eastern Road/Bristol Road

I have a picture of 3083 with its roof torn off (WMPTE days), or 2608 after a serious accident around 1953

The interesting thing to me of course is the bus itself, which I believe is running the Inner Circle. I don't ever recall many MOF Guys running this route, although Hockley had a batch of Daimler MOF's in the 3160s-3170s. Any idea of the date??

I don't think there will be any tram pictures. Appears to be a bus turning out of Navigation St. on to John Bright St. Also one going down Hill St. They both appear to be "new" fronts, so I suspect the picture was taken after the tram demise of the Bristol Road/Pershore Road routes in 1952.
