do we get to keep the hi vis jackets or just borrowing them?

Well i am bringing my own NX Hi-Vis Jacket which i kept from my Park Lane garage visit :) Btw is the tour definetley going ahead tommorow? Don't want to turn up and find it isn't going ahead ;)

Worth a shot just going there to see the remainder buses, it should still be going ahead, but this'll mean i'd have to get up super early if i'm leaving my house for 11am at WALSALL! If only it were Perry Barr...

However, it'll be an adventure for trying new routes, like the 301/302.

Well the latest i have to leave out is at 0941, but Journey Planner told me to catch the Diamond 16, instead of NXWM, but still, once i get there, i'd have at least around 15 minutes to kill, so why not wait for my NX16 to come, also, whilst i'm waiting for everyone else, i might aswell have a 'ponder' around Walsall Garage, no longer than 5 minutes, just to get used to the area...

You can't just 'ponder' around the garage due to saftey reasons. You have to sign in at reception then they will give us our hi-vis jackets

Yes first rule of tomorrow is anyone who turns up at anytime other than 11am will not be allowed into the garage. There will be no one available to escort you around at any other time
