100 Years of Midland Red

Visit the gallery of old BMMO Midland Red buses from the Sixties on my website

To celebrate it's Centenary in 2004 three of the four major bus companies that operate from former Midland Red garages painted buses in the old red livery. This Arriva Mashall bodied Dennis Dart really looked like a Midland Red Bus and not only was it painted exactly the right shade of red it could have been the S14 of the Nineties complete with the customary 'Midland' plate below the windscreen and an HA Smethwick office registration number which the company also shared with Gliderways and the MEB. As one would expect this bus did a tour of the garages including Stafford where it enjoyed an extended stay to cover some of the fleet that was away being refurbished
