[James4368]

if you go to a garage e.g Birmingham central or Wolverhampton can you ask there permission if you can have a look around?

You can ask. But it is extremely unlikely you will be allowed around.

Tony will be able to tell you exactly, but am sure you have to write and make arrangements with National Express, if you just turn up it may possibly not be convenient for you to look round.

On my 2 visits to PB

1st time - I just turned up with my mom and was allowed around
2nd time - Booked a trip around with thanks to my moms freind knowing the manager

Things may be different now though

No non-employee is allowed in unless they are accompanied by someone who knows all the health and safety rules at that garage. Even I have to carry a 'H&S safety induction passport' that has been signed by someone at that garage within the last two years to say I have been given the rules for that garage before I am allowed into anywhere other than my usual place of work.

Thanks Nathan ;)

I can tell you for a fact you will not be allowed around BC. Even of a Sunday the engineering manager does some hours and doesn't take likely to people snooping around!! And with Health and Safety you'd need full site induction as per Tony's post. Save yourself the embarrassment and hastle and a wasted trip and do it through the correct channels.

I don't think you realise how busy BC is 24/7. In know AG/YW is busy but it takes months of preperation.

And don't just help yourself. Police could be involved and the company could ban all enthusiasts and enthusiast days. Dont spoil it for everyone.

Take some advice please  :)

You can't just turn up unforunatley and it is very unlikley on a Sunday. My mom got in contact with Park Lane garage in which they told us to put it in a letter in which 2 weeks later they sent me a letter telling me when i was going,Where to report to and the Health and Saftey rules/procedures attached to the back and my mom had to accompany me and i was taken round by Matthew Jukes at Park Lane Garage.

This.

Go through the right channels and all good things come to those who wait!

Although it took a few weeks to sort out, I sorted it through the right way and i was allowed to visit.


James, Just do what i did and get in contact with the garage (In your case BC) and they will tell you to write a letter

[James4368]
