Shown on 21st April 1977,
WMPTE Ailsa 4785 (JOV785P). These vehicles were very new then (though you
wouldn't know this from the dirty vehicle in the photo), 4785 was
allocated to Sutton Coldfield garage replacing obsolete ex-Midland Red
types. It is seen leaving the cavernous and wholly uninviting Bull Ring
bus station which had been used by WMPTE vehicles since the absorption of
Midland Red routes and depots within the West Midlands area in 1974.
