Cheers for the link Mike. I used to live near Sandy Lane garage, Cov, and in later years near to Ridgeacre Rd garage, Quinton, so this video brought back some fantastic memories....
Ah the sounds of a Metrobus at the beginning...fantastic. Reminds me of catching the 44 bus from Lincoln Road North to Birmingham when I was a teenager...so it makes me feel old too !! Great video mate, I know you love going to this place.
Enjoyed that. I've been there a few times. Great fun when you're on a Fleetline turning round at that island at the main car park - the driver has to stand up and fight with the steering wheel to get the bus around!!!
Those Metrobuses had quite a decent turn of speed. Made some interesting sounds too, when maintained properly, which not all the London ones always were
Excellent high quality and professionally done thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed my video Matt, its time for me to visit this great museum again nest year.

They can also motor along fast, always good to see them every few years.
Great video! I went to wythall transport museum this summer as it isnt too far to go for me.
Don't blame you, there a lot of history there. Cheers.
Indeed
HI, really good video, could we use a section of this on Wythall's website please?
Hi.
Good to hear from you.
Yes I don’t mind you using my footage but I would like to be credited. Regards Mike Allen.
Nice one mike, something different to the channel, enjoyed it
Oh thanks for that comment, nice one.
Where was that pillock trying to go 32:05?? Wrong way round the roundabout?
I don't know what the hell he was parked there for, maybe he had bad legs and he wanted to get a photo from the car window ????
If you check Google Maps you'll see there's an entry to the farm shop on the right.
W G Copestake?
???????
@@antman09ful1 Brummies of a certain age will recognise it as the name on the side of every corporation bus 😁
Oh yes I’m with you now, very good.
