Are the any depots in the West Midlands where you can see any of the buses not being used that day, was mainly thinking of the storage depot at miller street

West Bromwich has an overflow yard, just off Oak Lane. Probably not more than a 5 minute walk from the bus station.

It's (expectedly) empty during the weekday, as most buses are out in service. But from the few times I've been up there on a Sunday, the buses are usually kept in there, then.

Non NX, I would've said Arriva Cannock on a Sunday, unless there's a high fence? (Been some time since I've been that way!)

You can see into Coventry depot fairly well from the entrance, and it's right by the bus station too.

Any views/comments are my own and do not reflect those of my employer.

Pensnett main depot is a fully viewable yard, plus you can see most of the reserve fleet stuff through the fence.

BC's bus yard is also a good candidate. The entry gates are usually open and deckers are usually stored there. I've only seen singles there once including a coach. This is only really applicable on a Sunday.

As previous mentioned, Pensnett is probably the only depot in which you can see all the buses not used, any day of the week (Bar anything in the engineering pits).
