WMPTE 2832, Deritend, Birmingham, c1975

            Close to Birmingham City Centre, an image from a lesser recorded view point from the central-reservation. The West Midlands buses are on High Street, Deritend travelling towards Digbeth into the city centre. 

Passing the Irish Community Centre on the corner of Stone Yard, is WMPTE 2832, a Daimler CVG6 built for Birmingham City Transport in 1952. There is still an Irish community centre on this site, but if it is this building, its been heavily rebuilt and expanded. The bus remained in service with WMPTE until April 1976. 

Behind 2832 is the GKN - Haddon & Stoke factory, known for the manufacture vehicle transmissions. This factory is long demolished, the Bullring Trade Centre currently standing on the footprint of the former GKN plant.

The 90 route was a cross-city bus service that ran from Hall Green, a district South of the city, to the Pheasey Estate, to the North of the city. The 90 serving the city centre in both directions.
