 Seen at an early Woburn Showbus is Birmingham 1685 (HOV685), a splendidly restored 1948 Brush bodied Leyland Titan PD2/1. Leylands were an unusual choice for the Birmingham fleet, more locally built Daimlers and Guys being the normal fare. It is believed to be alongside Alexander bodied Titan EED5 of Widnes Corporation, with a line of RTs in the background. |
City 2707 (JOJ707) is a typical Birmingham bus delivered in the fifties with characteristic style MCW bodywork - on a Wolverhampton built Guy Arab chassis. It is along side near identical 3225 (MOF225), a Coventry built Daimler. Both buses are seen at the 1999 Birmingham Outer Circle Run.

Travel West Midlands painted a selection of Metrobuses into "heritage" liveries, appropriately in Birmingham City Centre is this Birmingham City Transport liveried Mk II Metrobus seen in the late nineties.

Alongside one of the traditionally Birmingham liveried Metrobuses at Showbus in 1998 is a new all Mercedes low floor singledecker in Prime Line colours for the coordinated 'quality partnership' service initiatives operated with Stagecoach Midland Red using similarly bedecked Alexander bodied Darts.

 Metrobus 2856 (B856AOP) at Millennium Showbus in the days when stalls were permitted in front of buses, much to the annoyance of the many photographers who attend! |
