Below are a few shots of preserved Birmingham City Transport buses including;
JOJ 245 a Leyland Tiger PS2/1 with Weymann B34F bodywork new 08/50 to Birmingham City Transport as 2245.

JOJ 707 a Daimler CVD6DD with Metro-Cammell H30/24R bodywork new 09/51 to Birmingham City Transport as 2707. I managed a ride on this bus on its first public outing since being acquired by The Museum - it must be nearly 50 years since I last rode on a Daimler engined bus on the farewell day with Gash's Daimlers working their last trips on the Nottingham to Newark express service.

Liking the Metrobuses and Fleetlines

Pleasing to see these two posts of Wythall. Quite a few brought memories - mainly those pre 1960 types. A Gash's Daimler was mentioned in the text. I had the pleasure of riding on one of their Daimlers some while ago at one of the London Transport Societies open days.
