I started there.  Services 7 46,51,52,59,65,66,67,114,115 based there.  When Sutton Garage closed all the Sutton Lines came there.  When Miller St closed, I was transferred to Perry Barr on Walsall Road routes. Happy Days.  The 51 has been moved about between Walsall and Birmingham Garages over the years.
Sorry for the history lesson, but ah, memories.

What else operated from Sutton garage

EG 377 451 452 166



I understand that the 94 & 93 used to operate from there before the Washwood heath days.

The Real 4778

#16
42, 102, 103, 104, 105, 107, 113, 114, 115

EDIT:  105 came later, and was formerly the 103.  114 and 115 were Miller Street jobs.

The once a day 964 from Yenton to city (no return) was part of 102/3/4.
Don't you start.

Sutton garage had some running boards on the 93 and 94, but they were always mainly from Washwood Heath. I have seen the odd photo every now and again of ex Midland Red fleetlines and even Ailsas on those routes!

Sutton Coldfield had four running board on there and even though 94 was omo they would occasionally put D9 or even 1216 or  1230 out with conductors
