Will a shuttle service be operating between the two garages? What vehicle(s) will be used?

Yes there is a shuttle Matt. Tony has said preserved buses are running them but no idea what they are. Free to use but donations towards preservation welcome

Glad the Metros are operating on the Shuttle ;D

[nitromatt1]

Sorry for all the questions, but which Metrobuses will be operating the shuttle?

Still going though

I'm taking 1037 down, should be roaring through Brum around 0920am, she's been checked over today and a suitable blind put in  :D

Has 1037 got a Leyland 680 engine in it or a DAF from WMT days? Good choice of livery btw  ;)

She's got the DAF engine fitted in WMT Days. Loud and proud.
Cheers!

how often are the shuttle buses runing between the 2 depots

[Gareth]

Although 2912, 2957 and 3472 are all operating between the garages, does anyone know if 3225 will be running at all?
I'm more than happy with having a ride on Metrobuses, but my Aunt who is not an enthusiast at all was thinking of going along hoping to go on an old BCT rear entrance for reliving memories. Is it wise to her advise her it may be a wasted journey?

It is a bit poorly at the moment so will be a static exhibit unfortunately

Thanks Tony.
She's decided to come along anyway for a look around. That's one convert in the family, I wonder who I can convert next ;-)
