See Tony's post further up this thread:

One of the managers at Acocks Green has offered to do the next group tour around a garage. I will be sorting details out So it happens during a school holiday again in the near future

James, the clue is in Tony's post.....

No, nxwmbusfan1999. Read properly. Tony said "Acocks Green".

Technically, Tony said 'a garage'. He said the Acocks Green manager has agreed to do this, but maybe not at AG. Maybe the AG manager will come down to another depot? I'm not sure...  ;)  :P

Suppose it would be

59 into Wolverhampton
126 to Bearwood
and 11 to Acocks Green!  :)
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

Quick way: Metro to Snow Hill, 31 or 37 to Acocks Green, 11C or walk to garage.

Yes i thought i'd walk all the way there lol ;)

Think i might use the tram to speed up the journey then the Outer Circle.

I wouldn't be surprised if i wasn't the only one travelling over from W'ton.  I travel that far on my travels mist Weekends so i will manage it lol ;)

Or i can catch the 69/89 into W'ton :)  I will catch the tram (Would it be quicker going into Brum then catching the 31/7 or interchanging with the Outer Circle at one of the stops along the line?)

If you mean the tram Wolves to Soho then the Outer Circle, that would take an awfully long time. I'm not sure which way round the circle would be quicker. If you mean the tram to Birmingham then that takes forever, not far off an hour I think.

I'd just get the train, it'll get there in no time. In the time the 59 takes from Wednesfield to Wolves, the express trains can do Wolves to Birmingham

The tram takes 37 minutes to Birmingham.
