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.

Thanks for your input Roberto even though it was useless

I seem to remember it going from Birmingham city centre and along Broad Street to Quinton

Thats not the bus she means my Brummie Mate!!
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!!

Whoops soz

Sorry for the late reply Mally, been doing me cross stitch. No, that's not the one.

Finally found the answer to my question. If anyone is interested, I can hear the sighs of "Am I bothered" but I'm telling you anyway. The D9 route was Dudley Bus Station, Oakeywell Street, Prospect Row, Adshead Road, New Road, Cinder Bank, Simms Lane, St Andrews Street, Marriot Road, Cradley Road, Saltwells Road, Quarry Bank, Scolding Green Road, St Annes Road, Cradley Road, Chester Road to Cradley Heath Station.
