A break from Dave Neville’s lorries,his Dad drove for Midland Red and I would think judging by the pics Dave lent me was a mechanic. This one came to grief somewhere between Hereford and Shrewsbury.

22948

Midland Red took over the GWRs bus operations during the 30s. It backfired on the Western as they rapidly undercut the rural railways-the line between Kingham and Banbury lost their passsenger trains in1951 because of this.

They still operate the buses in Hereford Nathan,also in the rest of the midlands as far as I know.
