A whole stream of them come pouring out of the depot, in sequence after main![[Image: r05-13bus2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/r05-13bus2.jpg) ![[Image: r05-13bus3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/r05-13bus3.jpg) ![[Image: r05-13bus4.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/r05-13bus4.jpg) Greater minds than mine can decide if they're all the same. |

They are all prewar Birmingham standard design, but the chassis could be different, although most likely to be Daimlers. -- Last edit: 2018-03-24 11:04:18 |

Was that depot originally for trams, or was it rebuilt after the war? I can see the buses are pre-war, but somehow I wouldn't be surprised if they were pre-Great Depression. |

I would. This is a Birmingham bus of 1931, go back much further and they looked very different. http://www.wythall.org.uk/vehicles/vov4486.asp As far as trams go, no rails or wires, and no sign of any leftover infrastructure. -- Last edit: 2018-03-25 09:27:06 |

A 1926 AEC 504 run by Birmingham city transport to show you a pre depression design. https://www.flickr.com/photos/116071498@N08/29009194576/in/photostream/ This vehicle is somewhat antique in its appearance because it is a London design adopted, virtually unchanged, by Birmingham, who shortly afterwards realised that design policies forced upon the London transport companies by the London cab office were a dead end. The buses in the subject picture all appear to date from the middle 30s onwards, by which time Birmingham had even allowed the drivers to have a door on the cab, which did not become practise in the Smoke until post WW2 and the introduction of the RT class buses. The prewar RTs were very few in number, and took another ten years to take over from the types with no door for the driver. In my opinion, having ridden in both types in their pomp, and as preserved vehicles, the much vaunted RT is neither above nor below a Birmingham Standard from the post WW2 era. (Even the Crossleys!) What Birmingham does today London might think about in a year or two. -- Last edit: 2018-03-25 19:27:31 |
