Yeah I am going, it looks like it'll be a good evening (and an opportunity for some B10Ls beforehand).

I'm still on my to Walsall, this 4H is taking forever, I thought I'd get there quicker by choosing Diamond but been overtaken by 1 NX so far


EDIT - I'm in Walsall now, where are the shuttles picking up from?
Out side the job centre

I went there today. Only managed to get on two routes: Walsall - Lichfield on an ex-BCT Dalmier CLG5, 3002 (LOG 302) and AMRTM - Walsall Bus Station (1/2/2A bus stop) on an ex-WMPTE Dalmier Fleetline, 4041 (XON 41J).

I wasn't on my own

A great idea, and there seemed to be a good attendance.  :)

I got there about 5.30 to experience the dusk and evening ambience.

Took a trip to Lichfield on 3002, it was really nice when we got there as they turned on the Cathedral floodlights for us. Then went into Walsall on 4041, it was great upstairs as only a couple of lights were on, which provided a suitably dingy (in a good way!) atmosphere.
