I understand that YW and AG are planning a joint open day on Saturday 5th October. Can anybody confirm this or add any details?

Whats the chance of Walsall having one?

Last time they had one, they had just opened their new bodyshop(which is now owned by someone else!).

Wish there'd be one at Pensnett, Wolverhampton or Walsall :(

Exactly Matt, why can't PN, WN or WA have an open day. They could charge a little entrance fee and give the money to charity. Then we get to see a depot and a charity benefits!
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

We WN is massive and if anyone gets the chance to go there then you will love it ! ;)

Not quite true, the garage was open on the last day of Metrobuses

Well I only heard about the last runnings, nothing about an open day.

(Not that it wouldve made a difference to me, as I was ill that weekend anyway!)


By the way, Aston Manor has an Open Day this Sunday I noticed on Facebook!

Confirmed, briefly saw an article in todays latest NX staff newsletter.

Apparently this is to celebrate the 75th birthday of YW and 85th for AG. Buses will be running between the 2 depots on the day.

Any one owning a bus that whats to attend should contact Andy Walcott at Acocks Green garage, although he will probably be doing another 'rare working' for the next couple of days, it was him driving the gemini on the 900

I had a feeling it was. Wasn't it Andy who also put a Spectra and 0405N on the 37 a few years back? (4022 and 1701?)

There was some pics of them somewhere, if I can find them, I will link them

And had a Spectra out on a Sunday last year on V Festival. It was also him that drove the Citaro Bendi along the 71 route for the trial, but unfortunately without passengers
