Midland Red buses

5424 lives in Corley Moor. Driver in this shot is Richard Wallace who was one of the prominent campaigners for the re-opening of Kenilworth Railway Station

This appeared on a FB page today - I'm sure some members will recall these buses and this route

Any photos of the alternative Coventry to Nuneaton (via Holbrooks and Ash Green) service - the 747?

I always remember the distinct smell of the Midland Red buses, it was completely different to the corporation buses of the time. They always seemed to be so much cleaner too. As a child I often travelled to Nuneaton to visit my granddad, oddly enough I don't think we ever used the 747, mum reckoned that the 658 was quicker.
