Taken in August 1971, this photo shows a Daimler Fleetline bus at Rednal terminus on route 62, the vehicle being operated by West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive. However, the notice to the left of the bus says "Reserved for Birmingham City Transport buses only", which operated this bus service from Sunday 6th July 1952 until Tuesday 30th September 1969 when the WMPTE took over. Previously, it was tram route 70 via Bristol Road from the 14th April 1924 until Saturday 5th July 1952. National Express West Midlands now operates this route as X62 to Rubery nearby, this location no longer being used as a bus terminus. The Lickey Hills can be seen behind this vehicle.
