Maybe the community could run their own bus service??

This is just the type of thing the fund is set up for, so why not?

Is anyone here going to the meeting tonight? I'm still undecided... I need a date!

Thanks for that. My earliest timetable for the area is October 1955 and there is no mention of changing buses, but looking at the times it is obvious to me as someone "in the trade" that they would have to. I wonder how the general public who had no interest in schedules would have coped i...

I don't really think there is any call for any extra buses at the moment. Maybe one around lunch time for people going shopping etc, but before September they had one at 1205 and it was often empty, so there isn't a demand for it.

Nice shot of MattB... Shame he didn't smile!

Surely it should be called 30 years since the end of WMPTE? Or maybe 30 years of Travel West Midlands?

Either way, nice photos!
