In deepest Birmingham a Guy "New Look" double-decker crosses Saltley Viaduct on its way to the city. BTC's buses were always well turned out and ultra clean bearing in mind their grimy surroundings..The 56 route started from the Fox and Goose on the Washwood Heath Road and shared a lot of its route with the 14 and 55 routes into Birmingham which meant that one never waited long for a City bound bus.
On the left is the Met ( Metropolitan Carriage and Wagon Company which built railway locos, carrages etc over fifty years for export all over the World ) and in the background an Inner Circle 8 turns at Saltley Gate onto the Alum Rock Road whilst the vast bulk of the Rock cinema is on the horizon.

Love your work Mike my Dad drove this very bus after leaving the Royal navy in the 1960s.
Mike Jeffries replied:
Thank you Paul and how I envy your Dad his job, I did drive a few ex-Brum buses in fact I passed my PSV test in 1961,( badgeNo DD 43822) in a ex-Brum Guy of Andys Coaches which had a Chinese gearbox. Many years later in the late eighties I drove a flat screen Bristol VR for Burtons of Brixham on their Kingswear service, as I remember it had no power steering but was lovely to drive.
