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 ;-)

A couple of old age defects have been found on its last 4 weekly inspection which need a bit of work to put right. It will be done, but unfortunately it has stopped it actually being used until they are done

Gareth

As a matter of interest, is it regular day to day engineering staff who look after 3225 and any problems it may face? Or does specialist help have to be sought after for certain things.

Due to family illness 1037 will not be attending now. Apologies to anyone wanting to see the old girl. Shame as AG was her last depot at WMT.
Preserving a bit of West Midlands heritage with 1037 and 1849.

The regular YW engineering team

I think I saw tony at YW, next to the enviro hybrid!

Also, a president was out on the shuttle between the depots due to the crowds.

Yah

That single decker quickly filled up

Will have images up of depot in a while :) from staff room to how a VCR should be filled in :-)

3472 having a damaged seat didn't help,  did it?

I went to YW, it was AMAZING! The staff were very friendly, and I got to get some sweets. Also, my dream came true when I got into the cab of 4905!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Went to both garages and a ride on a metrobus, was en route to Solihul so didn't really stay at either too long, was good to see both garages fairly busy with people though
Now in exile in Oxfordshire....
