Where Is The Gate At West Gate?<\/span><\/p>\n The likeness is truly remarkable …<\/p>\n … although he was having a few digestion problems during his later sittings!<\/p><\/div>\n This Google Earth aerial view makes it clear that the route through or to the West Gate once went straight on, over the railway bridge and past where the dented Michael Faraday now sits. The sharp left via the level crossing type barriers is likely to .be more modern than the old way in.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n <\/p><\/span><\/div>\n And if you were wondering what a CHP looks like in daylight …<\/p>\n … thid is the Combined<\/span>\u00a0Heat and<\/span>\u00a0Power <\/span>unit that pumps the Steam<\/span> over the Bridge<\/span> over the canal and over the railway. It is a bit bigger than the CHP at fbb mansions!<\/p><\/span><\/div>\n The only bus back then that called at West Gate (opposite the Queen Elizabeth Hospital) is route 2. It ran to Selly Oak then wiggled across the Bristol Road (map below, upper left) …<\/p>\n … then across the Pershore Road and terminated at Kings Heath.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n … but extends significantly further at both ends, from Weoley Castle and to Solihull.<\/p>\n But the 76 touches upon two complications to challenge us with todays buses at West Gate and University station.<\/p><\/div>\n … and a short stagger to church and bus stop. The bus stops en route have al been tidied\/cleaned\/replaced BUT …<\/p>\n … the lads at Devon County don’t seem to know their bus routes. the fbbs caught the 9A which, together with the 9, provides a 30 minute Monday to Saturday frequency. The 9A is omitted from the flag, and, as far as fbb could tell, from all the re-fettled flags along the route.<\/p><\/div>\n … whence they did not have to park but rode (\u00a31.50 each return) happily to the hospital.<\/p>\n … but adorned in the Stagecoach Motorway Maintenance livery.<\/p>\n YN65 XDT<\/span> …\u00a0<\/p>\n
