Description
The Midland Red Coaches: A Unique Operator in British Transport History From 1904 to 1981, the Birmingham & Midland Motor Omnibus Company operated an idiosyncratic network of bus services across the Midlands. This volume focuses on the iconic double-decker buses that served urban areas such as Birmingham and Leicester, using rare images from David Harvey's collection to explore their fascinating history. The company's area of operations spanned a wide region, including rural areas in the West and North, and urban centres like Worcester and Hereford. The Midland Red coaches played a significant role in these services, offering a unique insight into the development of public transport in Britain during this period. This book provides a detailed look at the coaches that formed part of the iconic Midland Red fleet, shedding light on their design, operation, and significance in British transport history.
