Following their companion volume on the Streets and Lanes of Midland Red, authors Malcolm Keeley and Roger Torode turn their attention to the operating area of Birmingham City Transport in this carefully compiled album of images of the city and its surroundings in the middle of the-20th Century.

These two well-known transport authors are on home territory, working together to review the highly varied routes of Midland Red - arguably the most innovative bus company in the UK and famous for designing and building its own fascinating buses for nearly fifty years. This new book is an album with detailed captions to around 200 quality photos of the vehicles that ran with the operator during its history up to absorption by the National Bus Company.
