Midland Red D9

Having had what I consider a privilege to have a 50 minute ride today around the Worcestershire/Warwickshire borders in a D9 and to have my faith reconfirmed that this bus although a fifty year-old design, was years ahead of its time. The 10.5 litre BMMO engine pulled without complaint, a near full bus at speeds in excess of 55mph when on a straight stretch of road. The ride quality was very good (in fact far better than a lot of todays offerings)
