West Midlands PTE inherited a large number of buses from Birmingham City Transport on its formation in 1969.
2600 pictured, was a Guy motorbus from 1951 and was one of those inherited vehicles.
A nice study of the type, the scene is Hampstead Road at its junction with Old Walsall Road in Birmingham as it was in 1972.
The bus was operating the long defunct 15 service from Hampstead to Hobs Moor Road/Church Road on the other side of the City.
A Hockley based bus at the time of the photo, the bus was transfer to Acocks Green Garage in 1976. 2600 was relatively long-lived bus being withdrawn from traffic in October 1977, at the ripe old age of 26-years old.

The Tame Valley Canal in Hamstead, Birmingham, West Midlands.
The canal was authorised by Act of Parliament in 1839 and opened in 1844. Its engineer was James Walker.
The canal runs from Tame Valley Junction where it joins the Walsall Canal near Ocker Hill and Toll End, and terminates at Salford Junction where it meets the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal and the Grand Union Canal. It is 8.5 miles (13.7 km) long and has twin towpaths throughout.
Between Tame Valley Junction and Rushall Junction it goes under the Midland Metro near Wednesbury and crosses over the former Grand Junction Railway (now part of the Chase Line) by aqueduct, near Tame Bridge Parkway railway station (an unusual case of the railway pre-dating a neighbouring canal).
It passes over the M5 motorway near the interchange with the M6 motorway (M6 junction 8) and joins the Rushall Canal at Rushall Junction, inside the triangle formed by the motorway junction. East of Rushall Junction the canal passes under another arm of the M5. At Hamstead the remains of a wharf can be seen, this served the former Hamstead Colliery. Further east, there are two more aqueducts (Spouthouse Lane and Piercy, the latter over the Old Walsall Road), and a deep cutting in 200-million year old sandstone, under Freeth Bridge (now restricted to pedestrians and bikes only) at Tower Hill. There are no locks on this section, which is at the Walsall Level, but it passes over eight aqueducts within five miles (seven of which are original).
The thirteen Perry Barr Locks, where the level drops 106 feet, start just beyond the A34. The original lock keepers cottages remain. In the adjacent Perry Park, near Alexander Stadium, is Perry Reservoir, a feeder reservoir fed by a stream from the lake at Great Barr Hall. From there, the canal passes under the M6 three times, including Gravelly Hill Interchange (Spaghetti Junction), shortly after which it terminates, at Salford Junction.
