PROTOTYPE INFORMATION: Birmingham has had the power to run buses since 1903, but it was 1913 that a service from Selly Oak to Rednall was started. A proud heritage was built up in this, the second city of the British Isles, it's citizens taking great pride
in their buses which were garbed in a livery of Dark Blue and Cream. The Daimler was probably the most popular make of bus used but during the was years the Guy Arab also joined the fleet and when these buses were
life expired for passenger duties, they made an ideal subject for conversion to other purposes. The Council's first buses were five Dennis vehicles with Dodson bodies. On the outbreak of 1914-1918 war these chassis were commandeered by the war department, the bodies later being mounted on "Allday and Onions" chain driven chassis. In the early 1920's "Straker Equire" vehicles were favoured, but in 1925 the first A.E.C vehicles entered service, two double deckers similar to the London General "NS" type, these were followed by four A.E.C.413's and ten A.D.C. 416 saloons, and then from 1930-1939 by twenty "Regents", the first two having bodies to the "L.G.O.C." S.T. design. In 1945 a Daimler C.W.A.6. entered service, to be followed in 1947 and 1949 by ten Regent Mk 3's and an A.E.C Regal saloon. In 1952 a new joint service was commenced to Clifton Estate, with Nottingham City Transport and South Notts Bus Company, "Lowbridge" type buses were required for this service and three pre-war Regents were converted to this configuration, whilst in 1954 two new Regent 6812A's were acquired with "Willowbrook" Lowbridge bodies, these were numbered 11 and 21, ORR 139/140 respectively, the latter vehicle is now in preservation. Between 1955 and 1968 a total of 17 new A.E.C. vehicles entered service, 11 Regent "5's", 2 Renowns and 3 Swifts, together with a secondhand "MK 3" from Halifax, and 2 C.W.A.6's from Huddersfield, the latter 2 having Duple Lowbridge bodies whilst the A.E.C.s had bodies by "Park Royal' (4)m "Reading' (3), and the remainder by East Lancs.
In 1968 the "Council" ceased bus operation and the fleet of 28 vehicles, by then all of A.E.C. manufacture, passed to Nottingham City Transport.
