Title: midland red coalville
Post by: robinswh on Saturday 18 August 18 18:20 BST (UK)

I worked at midland red as a summer student in 1968 and 1969 at coalville garage. Many of my relatives worked there over the years its something I ve never forgot. Does anyone have any photographs of buses and personnel or any other information about this facility ?. It was opened in 1925 and last year (2017) I found it in a very poor state.

There's a Facebook group called Coalville History. which has over 6500 members.   There might be something there of interest.
