 Birmingham City Transport
|
Like many of the municipal operators, Birmingham City Transport was very proud of its bus fleet, and painted the vehicles in a very distinctive livery. Our Fleet Focus illustrates how this livery was applied to the successive vehicles and creates an attractive and very collectable fleet. |
