Did anyone have the same aggro as we did last year? I stood with my grandchild at the 67 stop @ aston stn. for nearly an hour.in which time we were passed by several PB gemini which were packed out,and at least 2 scanny bendies which ignored us for the same reason.we were (eventually) picked up @ 7-30pm and arrived at the park just in time for the last sparkler and a voice on the tanoi to say "see you all next year".(NO CHANCE). Unlike previous years, this occasion had only one display (not two)-and there was NO Bonfire .
The attraction of free entry only added to the bus/traffic fiasco. Where were the 28's? never saw one from 8pm to 8.50pm! -can we expect more of the same next year? Hope not. >:( >:

If I catch a 110 bus in birmingham and ask for a fare to Tamworth Rail station do I pay for the outward journey to Victoria road (terminus) and then pay an additional fare to the rail station?

would I be correct in thinking that all WM service vehicles now have LED destination blinds?. I suppose the days of the old manually operated wind-up canvas blinds are obsolete?

I imagine there are a few people out there interested in eurostar? as they probably know the original 8 car east coast sets have been confined to french soil and have no tunnel permits.One exception here is the power car 3308,Which is presently at Temple Mills along with its half-set. What I would like to know is this -IS this half set visible from the main line at Temple mills? or is it kept indoors? anyone remotely interested?

Does anyone know if any central birmingham buses are to be named at any time in the future?It would be a credit to the company if they were to honour its long serving emloyees-perhaps a minimum of 40 years? I think this practise may be common in other towns, Brighton is one example.

I think 4699 was the experimental green bus does anyone know where it went eventually?

Looking at some of the posts lately I think the forum needs to lighten up a bit! does anyone have any amusing BUS/transport related memories/anecdotes they can share on the forum?
comments could be a bit risque but not vulgar and National but not racialy offensive.
I would be happy to contribute my experiences ,perhaps saturday nights (after 10pm)
regards. windy :)

does anyone know if the present 907 and walsall services currently using albert st will switch back to carrs lane when they finish the roadworks

Our friend in dundee has mentioned TWO demos? to become 2030 and 2031. if 1908 was one what was the other one ? 

several years ago I ventured around the witton bus/trolly museum. the place looked well presented but the gloomy atmosphere and lack of movement/work in progress was a bit dissapointing. has there been any improvement in recent months? are there any plans to preserve recent withdrawals?

I am sure there is a fully comp national rail timetable-but where could I find a similar table for connecting service buses.  ideas anyone?

If I use my free travel pass (inc rail travel) how far could I travel from birmingham by train and/or bus
and still get back before midnight?

can I ask if the coach lists are up to date? I am sure I saw REG FJ11 GJZ opposite the Pavillions on saturday?

Anyone know if WN are due any new Double Deck Vehicles this Year?
