I did spot a Emirates Airbus A380 slowly coming into land at Birmingham Airport as my train left at Proof House Junction near Bordesley for Moseley Village, and eventually Kings Norton, just too hard to capture it from the train, and lots of trees etc in the way.</p>

<p>Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc, built at Castle Bromwich in 1944, on display at Birmingham’s Thinktank science museum as ML427 code HK-A.<br />
<br />
The Castle Bromwich factory (officially known today as the Castle Bromwich Assembly) is an iconic industrial site located on Chester Road in Birmingham, England. Initially built to mass-produce fighter aircraft during World War Two, it evolved into the historic heart of British automotive manufacturing.<br />
<br />
The factory became the most successful plant of its type. It built 12,129 Spitfires (more than half of all Spitfires ever made) and 305 Avro Lancaster bombers. At its peak, it employed over 12,000 workers and turned out 320 Spitfires a month.</p>

<p>NJW 719E is a rare, preserved 1967 Daimler Roadliner SRC6 single-decker bus. It is one of the most prominent operational survivors of its type in the UK and is housed at the Transport Museum Wythall, near Birmingham.<br />
<br />
The bus was delivered new in 1967 to Wolverhampton Corporation Transport (fleet number 719). It represented an experimental era in British bus manufacturing, which moved toward rear-engined, one-man-operated single-deckers.<br />
<br />
However, the Daimler Roadliner model quickly developed a reputation for being highly unreliable and mechanically complex, meaning very few were built and most operators retired them early. NJW 719E managed to stay in service until 1975 before being sold off.</p>

<p>Passengers standing at platform 8 are waiting for a train to take them on holiday to Scarbrough , take no notice of Thornaby's Class 37 37161 on the centre road running round the 12:45 Scarbrough to Glasgow Queen St. The lady scratching her head is probably wondering just how she is going to get all here 8 pieces of luggage on the train, just how long is she going on holiday for ?. The man in the hat and his wife are looking at 37161 as it passes by but all the others are looking down platform 8 hoping to see there train appear. This was just a every day sight that could be seen at York on any Summer Saturday at that time. When so many people used the train to go on holiday. That Thornaby Beast 37161 was renumbered 37899 December 1986. Years later it became a GIF hire loco and was exported to Spain were it was wrecked in March 2002. Great Day's at York much missed. I knew this was going to be a good day out as when I got to New Street in the morning Class 37 37137 was waiting on the 07:30 to take me to York what a great start!!. Here is the list of Loco's seen at York on that Summer Saturday all those years ago. 31291/316/404. 37/45/104/161/200/266. 40002/16/38/50/52/57/67/109/118/168/184. 45005/39. 46015/26/29/39/44/48//54. 47200//252/257/273/404/410/429/430/449/461/511/535. <br />

<p>Britain’s only operational Midland Red D7 bus at the Transport Museum Wythall, near Birmingham, on 30 August 2026.<br />
<br />
Built at the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Company’s Carlyle Works in 1956, No. 4482 (XHA 482) is the only surviving Midland Red D7 double-decker and has been restored to full operational condition. One of a fleet of 350 buses designed and built entirely by Midland Red, it represents a remarkable period in British engineering when one of the country’s largest bus operators designed and manufactured its own vehicles.</p>
