A day out train and tram riding in the West Midlands took friend Peter Rose and myself into pastures new recently when the transport delights of Birmingham, Wolverhampton and West Bromwich were explored.
As we have done before, we have combined all the images we gathered on the day.
The credits being joint D.Basford/P.M.Rose.
Most buses are named using people’s forenames which reflect the ethnic diversity of the area.
The choice of names are suggestions put forward by employees of ‘national express West Midlands’ together with some from the general public.
I think that is a nice touch because people of all ages will be happy to ride on ‘their’ bus.
