A total of around 880 locations of all types appear in the lists. Price £13.00

  MIDLAND.MOG

  1. This publication, the seventh in the MOG history series, sets out to record the locations of operating centres (bus garages and outstations, tram and trolleybus depots) of all the major bus and tram operators in the Midlands, from the earliest days of horse omnibuses up to the present day. The geographical scope is bounded by the counties of Shropshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire (excluding the Glossop area), Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Herefordshire. However some records spill over into neighbouring areas.The records begin in the 1840s and run through the horse, electric and motor eras to a current list as at June 2017. A notable feature covered in this edition is the reversion to horse bus operations by the Birmingham & Midland Motor Omnibus Co. Ltd. between October 1907 and May 1912. This did not prevent the Company later becoming the largest operator in the area, and in BET. A total of around 700 locations of all types appear. Horse bus yards account for 61 and horse trams 22. The total of additional electric and steam tram depots is just 65. The remaining c555 are motor bus (and trolleybus) garages and outstations. There are 46 pages of text interspersed with several pictures and maps, followed by the picture section of 26 pages, a total of 105 pictures, 45 of them in colour.
