Midland Red & Carlyle Works

The end of a BMMO decker
Welcome
The buses, operations and life of the biggest provincial bus company in Britain. BMMO's own buses included the D9, the Kidney engine and many innovations including coaches that could - and did - do 130 mph.
From it sprang Carlyle Works, which revolutionised the provision of high-frequency minibuses - or breadvans as they became known from their generic beginnings.
Black & White Motorways
Midland Red was closely allied with Black & White for half-a-century. Indeed, it had a part share in its ownership from the 1930s onwards.
To mark 2007, I have created a separate gallery for this unique (and much loved) coach company that was the backbone of the Associated Motorways network.
Just scan down the "Other Galleries" list to find the fleet.
