Aston Manor in a few hours time, will have their regular open day.

Of interest will be the appearance, courtesy of Wythall, of ex Walsall Fleetline 56!

So did anyone goto Aston Manor today then?

The idea is that the oldest buses start first and the running fleet gets more modern through the day finishing with the low-floor vehicles. Should be very memorable!

Ah right. I will personally have to avoid the first few trips then as I don't have interest in half cabs but I will have something to ride on for the rest of the day

They have an operating day on 16th October, I hope as many as possible turn up to support them.

Didn't seem that much of a crowd at all today, bit of a shame but at the same time they didn't really have much going on today either.
Was however good to see Tracline Metrobus 8110 out and about though

To be honest, I didnt do all the trips today. I only did the Lichfield & got off at Chasewater, as I went from the Heaths down to the main station, then walked all the way to Brownhills & caught a 10 back to Walsall.
