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

Will there be anyone outside incase someone is unsure where to go? Also will you be there tony?

I will be there.

Get off the 301/302 1 or 2 at the 'Doghouse' Antiques shop, walk up Carl Street, once into NXWM property (car park) follow the yellow footpath markings and signs which lead you to reception

Don't worry i know where you mean :) I go past Walsall Garage regually (Went past there aboard 677 on the 301) Just wasn't sure whether i had to go up Carl Street or not. Thanks for the info :)

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

not really around the garage  ::) just around the general Walsall Area...

...and so on leaving the garage, everyone flags down the second 301 coming just because its an Eclipse... Driver probably had no clue, funny as hell to watch

Cheers Tony for organising that, was intersting

Just home, thanks everyone for making today such a brilliant day, really enjoyed it.

Was quite surprised by the amount of work that goes into repainting a bus.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.
