Midland Red was the largest bus operator outside London and was unusual in that it designed, built and operated most of its own vehicles. This put the company in a unique position and as a result, gained many followers. Although there have been many books about Midland Red published over the years, they seem to concentrate on the period from the company''s formation until it was nationalised and ceased its own vehicle production. The company carried on as an NBC company and continued to run its own home built vehicles until they were life expired. In addition, the company acquired other operators, such as Harper Brothers of Heath Hayes, and experimented with different types of bus service. These include the provision of ''minibuses'' and full size buses that had been radically reduced in size. The other major change in the company in this period was the formation of the West Midlands PTE. This involved transferring six garages and 143 vehicles to the PTE. As a result, many Midland Red built vehicles could be seen sporting the cream and blue WMPTE livery until they were finally replaced.
