Depot visits

To put in my two penny worth regarding the WB Open Day; if anyone is travelling from Birmingham or Wolverhampton, the Metro's a great shout.

The closest stop to the garage is West Bromwich (Lodge Road) - which, quoting Google Maps, takes approximately three minutes to walk. An adult single from the Birmingham City Zone stops (exc. Jewellery Quarter) is £4.20 / from Jewellery Quarter, it's £3.30.

Having said this, it most definitely would be cheaper by bus; even by going one stop from West Bromwich Central to Lodge Road, the fare costs a whopping £2.70! (Adult Single)

Though if you're like me, and are a holder of a Metro travelcard, I would definitely suggest taking advantage of the Midland Metro. I guess how you get there is up to you, though! ;)

Dartmouth Street is a good stop go out the station and turn right

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!)

Fantastic. That was kept quiet.

Does anyone know what vehicles will be on display? I'm presuming most types of buses operated by WB will be there, which is great for me as I can get a ton of images of small details to use for repaints on the Omsi simulator, but I'll also be interested in any preserved vehicles that will be attending.

Also, if anyone's taking a preserved bus there, and will be passing through or close to Tipton, I wouldn't turn down a ride there. ;)

Agreed!! :-)  Looking forward to tomorrow!

Oh jeez, I completely forgot that it's tomorrow. I'll still be able to make it though, luckily I've got nothing planned.

Quite curious to know this but I was wondering, where exactly will the Open Day be held? The main depot or the outstation?

As far as I know it's the main depot, since the announcement from NXWM mentions that you can catch the 42 or 43, whereas the outstation is right next to the bus station if I'm thinking of the right place.

The main depot.
