Midland Red famed for the way it designed and manufactured buses that were way ahead of their time had to eat humble-pie when it became part of the nationalised National Bus Company for it was allotted two batches of Plaxton bodied Ford R Series single-deckers to see off many of the S14 and S15 single-deckers of the Fifties. These 140 buses were very unsophisticated light-weight front-engined buses and were all allocated to rural garages like 6356 seen here at work in Rugby in about 1981.
