Birmingham Buses 1993

[@richardsmith1737]

Great bit of nostalgia, I was 13 at the time in and out of Birmingham City centre. I always think how cool it would be to spot yourself in one of these videos lol. The old buses really bring it all back. The Grumble of the old engines and the squeeky breaks where really something else. Can you imagine that High Pitched squeek all the time now. Noise Pollution at its best 😂

[@philchamp2640]

Someone else who looks for themself in these videos :-)

[@johnmarlonscott9153]

I really loved the hustle and bustle of Birmingham back then, much better, real city feel.

[@niceguy6152]

Ah the 90s was my heyday. Went to city centre at least few times a month. It was lovely. Haven’t been now for at least 3 years. Dale end and the McDonald’s there has gone to the dogs.

[@jeanmichel8368]

Thanks so much for uploading this. This video overwhelms me with nostalgia for Brum in the 90's.

[@MetrobusChris]

jean michel no problem mate glad u like ur plenty more to come 🙂

[@homeone4054]

Me too. I swear I used to get an old Fleetline or atlantean up to my nan's in Great Barr in thosedays

[@Mig29now]

Fab days, real nitty gritty days. I was a Birmingham bus driver in the days of Fleetlines, mk1 mk2 Metrobus's and the fab Lynx. I was typed trained on the Leyland national too, but never drove a national in service as they were soon withdrawn after i started in 1990. I was at acocks green for a few month then moved to Quinton bus garage when Quinton closed in June 1997 i moved to Yardley Wood garage until 2011.

Who remembers when the driver used to drop the flap above his head to wind the numbers and destinations lol

[@LeeDonel]

Hey wmpte great video BTW do u know about mark 2 Metrobus 2783 being preserved

[@johnathanrowley2707]

Corparation Street was one of the best streets in Birmingham for photography with the mixture of nationals, lynxs, metrobuses and fleetlines

[@chriso8485]

Bloody hell, a Route master?

[@MickAngelhere]

I used to catch the Timesaver to Walsall back 90/91

[@MetrobusChris]

Hi mate yes i sure do want to see her hopefully :)

[@brumxplanecrazytube]

Love the video mate but jeez all you hear from all those buses is screach screach screach, lol. Did they not know in the 90s how to oil brakes. And corporation street is just line after line of Buses. But awesome if you like buses and old pics of Brum ;-)

[@richardsmith1737]

Lol it proper Cain's your ears don't it. I dunno how we were so oblivious to it back then

[@killapakiz786]

Lovely video

[@jezedwards190]

Can't believe I didn't see an X20 in there! £2.50 Would buy you an explorer ticket 🎫 which would take you on as many journeys as you wanted for the day! 😊 Happy times Good days 👍

[@flyc3]

Ah the days before pedestrianisation and the Bullring (which has ripped the heart out of the city).

[@FredoSantana90]

I was minus 2 but it’s always gr8 to see what was before me

[@brendonhiggins7386]

[@frankwhite6821]

[@chriscoughlan5221]

[@MetrobusChris]

Hi mate you ok? Yes that will be great I’d love that 😮😊

[@chriscoughlan5221]

[@johnmarlonscott9153]

Oh the real city sounds, just like it should be, with traffic and buses everywhere!!

[@chriscoughlan5221]

[@nac6930]

Am I the only one who's not looking at the buses at all, but trying to see actual birmingham

[@rjhtrucking5429]
