Old Midland Red Bus Routes

Post by BC Wench »

My hubby and I were discussing yesterday the old Midland Red Bus Routes that went from Dudley Bus Station in Fisher Street. We agree on all of them apart from one which is the No. 9 bus route. Anybody any idea which town it went to to solve an argument?

Thanks.

Thats not the bus she means my Brummie Mate!! :roll:
I used to catch the number 9 from The Kings Head to Birmingham when we used to go to The Top Rank Suite and The Locarno!!
And i remember being on the number 9 with my dad in 1959 when we were going to Villa Park and there were posters on the bus asking if anyone had seen a blood stained man in the Edgbaston area.Stephanie Baird had been murdered in a hostel!!
