Description
The Midland Red Double-Deckers is a detailed history of the iconic double-decker buses operated by the Birmingham & Midland Motor Omnibus Co. from 1904 to 1981. Spanning over 77 years, these buses served areas ranging from rural Shropshire to urban Birmingham and Leicester. During their operational life, BMMO built its own chassis with proprietary bodies, resulting in unique designs that were often advanced for their time. The company produced around 400 double-deck buses between the 1930s and 1966, including various models such as the REDD and FEDD. This book examines each type of double-decker bus, providing a history of the model, technical specifications, and captioned photographs taken during service. With over 160 pages of content, this book is an in-depth look at the Midland Red Double-Deckers, covering their design, production, and operational history.
