The AG one will hopefully have a rare chance of getting 2957 & 3225 for 'haulage' on normal service. At the moment we intend running both of them on some journies on the 11

Are they still planned be operating on the 11 next weekend?

We have a problem getting the Metrobus an MoT at the moment because of the speed it is capable of!
3225 will hopefully be carrying passengers if the engine goes in on time.

Is Walsall's 4601 planned to be there?

What time will the Acocks Green open day begin, so that I can work on planning how to get there?

Is there a train station nearby?

Was thinking about the day ticket that lets you do train as well as bus!

There are 2 train stations nearby - Spring Road Station and Acocks Green Station.
Spring Road Station is the closest of the two to the Garage, about a 4 minute walk away (and is just around the corner), Acocks Green Station is further away, about a 15 minute walk away on Yardley Road (or a very short journey on the 11).

Local bus services are:
Closest Stop outside the garage - 1, 31, 36, 11A, 11C and 96.
Closest Stop down by the shops - 37, 30 and 99.

Spring Road is round the corner. That's your best bet. The other two would be Acocks Green & Hall Green and then jump on the 11 which will get you there in about 5 mins. Tyseley is also near, but it'd still mean a walk.

But yeah I'd suggest Spring Road. Or you could just jump on one of those fine Geminis on the 31 from City and get dropped off outside the depot.
