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%.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

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.

@BN Yeah, i actually did enquire, and the guy at the reception said he'd get the General manager to contact me about a month ago, still haven't heard anything...

Explain please. Just as a backup.

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