Yes. At the moment I am waiting for an answer from the family of the deceased owner to whether they have accepted an offer I made on behalf of the company

Don't suppose Acocks Green would be arranging anything? I remember the joint event from 2013; isn't Acocks Green 10 years older han Yardley Wood? Nevertheless, sounds like fun. Definitely putting that in the calendar.

The AG one isn't a joint event as well and is a few months before the YW one as well @CL.
On June 23rd.

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

Yes. I know.

If you read it properly, I said I remember the joint event that took place in 2013.

There's absolutely no difference between 4499 & 4500

Is there any more info about WB's open day on 2nd June 2018 apart from:

2 June: NXWM West Bromwich Open Day, 1000-1500, displays, vintage buses, sales stalls.

Many thanks

It's true, we have a stall there.

Im not doubting your accuracy.

Its because it was the first I heard about West Brom having an open day.

How much of a walk is it from the bus station by the way, or is it best getting a 42 or 43 instead?

(I'm coming into WB on one of the 4 group!)

You could walk it in around 10 minutes, it's around half a mile, but the 42 and 43 stop right outside if you don't fancy the walk. It's fairly flat ground, since the hill only really starts once you get past the garage.
