That`s right, Phil, and the No.7 Trolley bus took over the route for a short time. Trolley buses didn`t have a long life in Brum. I have a faint memory of being on one with my mum, for some reason on the Coventry Road route.

Mike,


I suppose that would be because the Coventry Road routes lasted well into the 50's.
Phil died in 2020. RIP.

A bit more blandness for you, looking down Park Road toward Aston Parish church.
