Midland Red was the largest bus operator outside London and was unusual in that it designed, built, and operated most of its own vehicles. Unlike LT through its AEC/Park Royal connection and Bristol, Midland Red did not sell its vehicles to other operators. This left the company in a unique position and as a result, gained many followers. This book covers the company's history into NBC days, from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s.
