99. BON472C ... Birmingham became the first operator to run single deck Daimler Fleetlines when it took delivery of a batch with Marshall bodywork in 1965. Seen here is 3472, BON472C. The body seated 37 which was much lower than later examples which were designed as single deckers from the off rather than adapted double deck chassis as is the case here. Later examples would have the engine enclosed and be designated SRG (for Saloon rear Gardener) rather than the CRG of the double deck chassis.

106. BON548C ... When Birmingham City Transport began, in 1962, replacing its huge intake of new buses, bought in the early 1950s, it chose Daimler's then new Fleetline CRG6LX chassis as its new standard bus. Body orders were split between Metro-Cammell and Park Royal. BON548C was a 1965 example of the Metro-Cammell version, the original box-like Orion derived body having been "modernised" by a moulded front lower panel.

116. KOX773F ... My first adult visit to Birmingham with a camera, and I found this high level view onto Station Street showing the distinctive bus stops alongside 3773, KOX773F, on service 24 to Warstock with the "From City" displayed. The khaki roof can be seen from this height. Plenty of interest if the bus is a bit too standard for some of us!
