I believe the last trams on the Bristol Road services and Cotteridge actually ran on Saturday; bus service started on the Sunday morning.

This may have been JOJ 437, a bus based at Liverpool st. Garage which did supply buses to the Inner Circle. It was withdrawn in 1963, being the first "new front" vehicle to be withdrawn. I think Lloyd would be able to confirm the "crash" details in more detail. I have a picture of it after...

Was for most of its life at Quinton; withdrawn 1973

There is a strong possibility this vehicle will be purchased by a group consisting of an owner of another BCT vehicle

Edward Road? by Calthorpe Park

The picture is dated 1906

I should have known Phil had already done this. OK,,but when??

Somewhere I think we've all seen, although not as long ago as when this picture was taken.

Bourneville Village

Out of interest I contacted the local tourist office in Laon, asking if anyone had info on it. Despite also sending them a picture, no one could remember anything. Sounds like Lloyd was right..

I have a a spare copy of this, if anyone is interested. All I ask is that I be reimbursed for postage (from Canada), and a suitable donation be made to the web-ring.:canadaflag:

Does anyone have any idea where it may have gone. I may be in France soon, and if possible would get to get a snap of it.

This may be of interest to those following the trials and tribulations of BCT restorations: https://busrats.com/busrats.html

Try cucumber and onion on corned beef sandwiches, or even roast beef..

I wonder if this shot somehow is quite similar, which would make it Tyburn Road. Houses look a lot alike, and 2nd overhead gantry is in the right position.

Some time ago, one of our members posted a narrative and pictures, then and now of BCT garages. There did not appear to be a mention of Birchfield Road Garage, which was considered a satellite of Perry Barr. I do remember this garage. Could someone fill me in with a little more information...

Actually Mike I think the tram is on Bristol Road, the Bundy clock was there to serve both Cotteridge and Selly Oak Trams

Here's a picture of DHA 731, presumably at Birds in Stratford. There is a picture of later date of this vehicle on Page 28 of "Midland Red Buses" by M.W. Greenwood. Notice all the old BCT buses in the background, most likely CVD6's. Sad to see

On March 22 1993, the Mail published an insert called "Old Brum on the Move", which covered Golden Days of Trams, Motoring Memories, Rebirth of The Canals and All Change on the Buses. (Cost 50p!!). As it is a full page newspaper, at the moment I"m not sure how I'm going to be able to scan it...

The Drovers Arms is correct. According to a google search, located at 140 Garrison Lane. No idea as to date of the picture.
