| On October 18, 2009. A D9 5415 owned by Wheels (Midland Red Coaches) set out to rediscover two old bus routes operated by the Midland Red namely the 159 Coventry to Birmingham and 144 Birmingham to the Malverns. Good weather was experienced throughout and the 43 year-old bus performed magnificently, especially on the long hills of the Malverns - covering over 150 miles in the day. |
