A look at Catshill operators from the public highway saw MRD's green Solo and an uid white Mercs minibus , any ideas of it's identity please ? Harris Coaches looked to...

The three StreetDecks on the 144, the others on the 30.

Noted two StreetDecks in the bus station in Bromsgrove at the same time yesterday -around 13.15. Rare to see two at the same time even on a "normal" day !!

Going back as chason mentioned , the "Forest Junction" was a unusual lay out , I can only describe it as a squashed letter X . . . . And also ,if my memory serves me right, the A38 in those days was marked out as a three lane carriageway with the "middle lane" being used by vehicles travelling in ei...
