When I was very young I loved collection BMMO buses (Midland Red) numbers so going to this bus museum brought back loads of memories. So here is video to capture the day and there will be other videos covering Birmingham Corporation, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton buses soon. Filmed on Monday 21st April 2014

Great to see these lovely old buses, there used to be a club in digbeth for midland red staff. Didn't know they built their own vehicles.

Yes Sue that's why they were different to other bus company's, thank you for watching.

As a Midland red bus driver during the 1960's after being trained at Bearwood to PSV standard, then route learning for a few days at Reddditch then drove DD5's D7's and D9's until emigrating to Australia November 1965.

So this video is right up your street Joseph, When I was a kid I just loved Midland Red which would have been around the same time as you were driving. Most weekend my mate and me would have a Anywhere ticket and visit all the garages around the Midlands. No H&S then, such great days and I still have my MR fleet lists. Thanks for your intresting comment. Regards Mike.

I remember Midland Red buses which ran between Coventry, Birmingham and Leicester and many other Midlands towns. I always thought the single deckers like those at 0:35 had a sad, folorn look due to the grille design and headlight placement..

@antman09ful1 Год назад

Yes I understand about the sad look they had, I just loved the company as they built there own buses and coaches.

Great Video. As a Museum volunteer, I was on car park duty that day otherwise I might have been one of the conductors.

@antman09ful1 10 лет назад

Thanks very much for watching I enjoyed the day, I did speak to a guy controlling the car park It may have been you.

@mmcsadler 10 лет назад

Watch out for Wesley Pegden, when he sees a red Atlantean, he can't resist taking care of the engine. Very nice video! compliment

Travel & Life with JoBo Thank you for watching and making a comment, yes I remember having a MR motorway express coach.

@travellifewithjobo2217 9 лет назад

antman09ful1 My"expert"has corrected me and says that Midland Red did call at LMS,Manchester but they were usually during the night on long-distance runs,no wonder I never saw them!Although todays buses are mostly comfy , tuneful and clean they are missing the style and variety of earlier ones.Joe

Love the old halfcab clagging away towards the end. That double declutching looks rather complicated, doesn't it.

@antman09ful1 10 лет назад

Yes it amazing watching that driver double declutching, proper bus driver TU.

@markfinney4157 9 лет назад

I love Midland Red buses of the 50' & 60's and, I wonder if anyone who visited last year's Wythall October running day has any video to download? I and many more would appreciate such a download.

@antman09ful1 9 лет назад

@antman09ful1 4 года назад

I was disappointed that I didn't make a visit this year mate, but thanks for watching this video.

@northstar1950 10 лет назад

The double declutching looks complicated here because the gearbox seems reluctant to get into any gear, perhaps the oil is still cold, change up should be just one double de clutch via neutral, change down should be one double declutch via neutral with some revs to synchronise the gearbox speed with the road speed, nice recording BTW.
