West Bromwich Outstation / Yard

[Ian Hardy]

Under the Lea Hall Garage sold threat, there was mention of the West Bromwich Outstation / Yard, does anyone know the proper address, street name / postcode / grid reference etc of the place and when it was opened.

As looking at Google, the site does not jump out.

Also the information will be passed to David Domin who produces a list of Garages and Outstations of Major Operators in Great Britain (MOG) in the Spring each year so that it can be included in the 2014 edition.

Many thanks

It is still the bottom of Oak Road, the old Stevenson's garage, where it has been since Stevenson's left the West Mdlands. I think it was originally coach operator Sealandair's depot, before Stevenson's bought them out

Is this any help?

Tony & Stu,

Thanks very much for the info, my 2008 copy of the West Midlands A-Z has the police station in New Street so the comments about opposite the police station confused me as I did not know that it has moved into Oak Road.

Sorry to ask another question about Oak Road outstation, when did NXWM start using it?

Many thanks
