As well as a "genuine" Midland Red owned D9 on service 865, there are also WMPTE owned D9 types working from Walsall garage in this short film taken in 1976 in Walsall (Bradford Place) and Cannock (Bus Station).

One person from Walsall garage in the 1970's who I see from time to time is Dave Wall - I don't know if you knew him. He's involved with the Aston Manor Transport Museum nowadays - as are some other ex WMPTE people.

I've never drove buses, but travelled a lot on the ones in my videos.

Regarding 119 (XDH119G) it was the last bus delivered new (1969) to the old Walsall Corporation bus undertaking and I travelled on it when it was new.

No. 116 still exists in operable condition and travelled on this earlier this month.
