4020 and 4675 stand in the old Walsall bus station.

A flash from the past - WMPTE 2515 entered service in the Bus & Coach council livery in 1982. Seen here approaching the old Walsall bus station "running private".

A number of buses were purchased for trial operation by WMPTE. Ten Alexander bodied Volvos were acquired for Cleveland Road depot in Wolverhampton, 1059 is captured here on a 531 service in Walsall.

Ex Midland Red, Alexander-bodied Fleetline 6290 stands in Wedesbury bus station on a 244 to Stourbridge.

I can't recall taking this picture but it depicts a Leyland National somewhere in the West Country !!!!

Leyland Nationals were a part of the West Midlands PTE fleet in the 1980s, some receiving new numbers in the 10xx series from 44xx and 45xx. This is 1010 on a 332 service at Townend Square Walsall. Note it is "unbranded".

Much as I didn't like the invasion of the MCW Metrobus, sweeping away large numbers of older buses, I had to include this pic of nearly-new 2444 working a 403E back to West Brom from Bradford Place, Walsall. Tucking in behind 2444 is 6672, and to the left is a Mk1 Metrobus, The Mk2 certainly had more style, and I still think this livery suits them better than the current tatty garb which they wear.

One of West Midlands PTE's fleet of dual purpose Leyland Nationals was Birchills' 6818, pictured here at the old Walsall bus station.

Sunday morning at Birchills and the WMPTE Bristol VRs are resting. There is a solitary Fleetline amongst the Bristol products.

The only Crosville pic that I have is of an "SRG" registered 782EFM. This bus was still owned by Crosville although decorated in older livery, and is shown here parked in Machynlleth depot.
