The Saltire branding was introduced in 1976 on the Group's express services to and from London. SMT started Edinburgh-London service in 1930 when they bought Thomson's Tours who had commenced the route in October 1928.

Hard Times...

Hard times had befallen 780 GHA when it appeared, on trade plates 106 FD, on waste ground in Quarry Bank in early 1972. The once gleaming Motorway C5 is now matt red with the 'Midland Red' letters on the front removed and the fleet name roughly painted out, she features the standard Black Country handbrake, a brick under the back wheels.

On the Cannock Road.....

Well not really, but it looks near enough ;-)

Another photo taken whilst out and about on our travels during the Alton Running Day 2010, shows BMMO C5 whilst traversing one of the local routes. On a very warm Summers day. We were making our way to the pub (See next photo), for the ladies to "Do what they Do best!".

I always found the BMMO coaches a little strange, and they were definetely in the category of you either Loved them or Hated them, I didnt feel that strongly either way, but found the design to be very ecclectic, if that is the righ turn of phrase??

If it was not for that BMW 330 in the driveway behind, I could have taken this shot at any point in the early 1970's.

1959 BMMO Midland Red C5 coach 4780 at Wisley, 2010

I've always liked the looks of the Midland Red motorway coaches, built by the company, and this is 4780 - a C5 coach that looks the part in the red and black roof livery and modest embellishments. The coach was at Wisley bus rally in April 2010.

n 1075 (selective) 29 July 1975.
Perhaps looking smarter than it ever had is former Standerwick Leyland Atlantean motorway coach, now on local service work on Acklam Road, Middlesbrough. This was one of the 'full' conversions - some later ones retained their Standerwick accoutrements including single-line destination display.
