Post by: MrBevan2000 on February 06, 2015, 02:30:13 PM
Hi guys. I'm currently looking to do Work Experience at a bus or rail company. Just wondering, anyone done this before or know which companies have done it before? Looking preferbally at NXWM WA Depot.

Am sure @Matt did it at Green Bus, sure he will tell you about it if you pm him.

Think @Nathan  may have done it at Park Lane garage, but not 100%.

National Express also accept work experience placements, ring Walsall garage on 01922 856100 and ask reception to put you through to the relevant manager who may arrange it.

Send a letter stating what you require and address it to Engineering. Somebody will deal with it that way.
