Depot visits

[DJ]

Out of all of the open days i've been to, Acocks Green's latest definitely ranks highly - a good selection of buses on view, very well organised and fantastic to go on the open topper. Also a brilliant programme, well worth £3 - some of the photos are a blast from the past! I think everyone involved should give themselves a pat on the back. Really looking forward now to Walsall's running day and YW open day.

Is there a date set for the YW open day?

Its a shame I couldnt get a decent shot of 4601, so I could use it as the cover page on my Facebook page, but I suppose living in Walsall, I'll have a better chance!

(Currently have 116L from the West Brom open day as said cover photo!)

Would this be part of the heritage weekend/s - it tends to be free to visit but by appointment/in small-ish groups. Or could this be a full open day for people to have a wander round [to a certain extent] - I don't recall there ever being the latter since the garaged opened in 1986.

Fully open to anyone (almost)

Is anyone able to confirm whether the Open Day is going ahead ? if it does indeed have prerequisites, what are those ?

Make sure your last name doesn't start with a C and end with an M.

I applied online/by email I think (I can't quite remember to be honest!) for the September 2013 open day and visited on the Sunday. We were initially told that taking pictures was a no-no, but in the end our tour host/staff didn't seem to mind - so we took pictures of the inside of the garage!

I once went to PN on a Sunday and just photographed outside the gates, I managed to get some courage and asked if I could get a guided tour and I did ! I took quite a few photos and I'm quite thankful for it.

Is this specific to a date or can I just randomly apply to get a tour ? I quite like seeing photos of buses inside the garage and Sundays provide ample opportunity to do so. I can't seem to find any details regarding applying although I do remember sending an email regarding a tour/ look around and I didn't get a reply. I'll be sure to look into this.
