Both will be free, although the owners of the buses on the shuttle may be asking for donations towards their restorations (not towards towards the cost of fuel as that would be illegal!)

Yes, I think mostly at AG, YW will have more buses, but will be a bit more family than bus enthusiast on the stalls. I am now picking up a hybrid from BC and taking it to YW

One thing Daimler Mercedes Benz are good at is producing excellent Diesel engines, I do miss the sound of the 0405n for all its faults you couldn't knock that 12 litre engine.

You've had that question answered twice, and you've just answered it again yourself? Please at least read what Tony posts.

To get to AG garage:

NXWM services 11A/C (Outer Circle) and 31/A all directly serve the bus garage, as well as Silverline's 36 and WMSNT's 40 services.

Also NXWM service 1 stops nearby (get off at the LIDL stop on Olton Boulevard East) for a short walk. And there is also the 37 service which stops in Acocks Green Village and is a short walk down Westley Road.
My locals:
2 - Birmingham to Maypole | 3 - Birmingham to Yardley Wood
11A/C - Birmingham Outer Circle | 27 - Yardley Wood to Frankley
76 - Solihull to Northfield | 169 - Solihull to Kings Heath

Preserving a bit of West Midlands heritage with 1037 and 1849.

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