After my trip to Essex and London last time, for the latest trip i ventured much closer to home. The transport museum in Wythall is a marvellous thing. A wonderful collection of buses and other vehicles including a large collection of milk floats! I had a good look around the collection, took many photos of course and also some videos of the buses moving about.
This included one of my beloved WMPTE Daimler Fleetlines. The buses of my childhood, indeed my earliest memory is being on one aged about 3 or 4. I was with my Mum and going to my Nan's house in Shard End. Who knows, maybe one of the Fleetlines in the museum collection was the very bus i went on that time? We'll never know. Anyway, you can see my photos here.
Interestingly, one of the museum's exhibits was an autonomous bus. The very bus i travelled on when it was on trial at the business park i work on in 2023. A different autonomous bus is currently on trial in fact but the bus from 2023 is now in a museum. It just shows you how fast technology moves sometimes!
