Open day Wolverhampton garage

1037 was in attendance so probably so although there was a Fleetline parked next to 1037

Definitely a National, the more i look at the picture the more you can tell.

Its 1037's cab. Nice to meet those I met today and all the kind words said about 1037. Was nice to have a DAF barking round Park Lane again :D

4413 is not a Fleetline although looks like one, it's a Bristol VR with MCW bodywork.

Are you sure it wasn't a Bristol VR rather than a Fleetline? I heard NOB413M 4413 was going from the Transport Museum.

Edit: oops sorry should have checked Stu Harris's post as he beat me to it.

Our enviro 200 826 was popular even the engine bay

First time I've done this, so dunno if this will work?

[horsencart]

I do not wish to sound picky but could someone please explain why on the posters advertising  the event a there appears to be a photograph of B.C.T.  buses   parked up in Yardley Wood Bus Garage ? HOV657  is in the poster,  I am surprised that NXWM could not find a shot of  a Guy Arab in Wolverhampton  colours,  in their photo collection,

I hope to upload the poster  soon, I am just to knackered  at the  moment,  even if Wolverhampton did have a load of BC.T.  buses as a part of their fleet I would have thought that a shot of a Guy would have been better, or am I just getting grumpy in my old age,  21 and a few months  alright  many many months.

And this one, thanks to a friendly Wolves driver!

Was the tour useful?

It was ok gave some good info but then some pointless info aswell.

[WN2010]

Pointless in what way. What may have been pointless to you could well if been informative to someone else

Someone managed to find the Thomas More & Dicky Dodd displays on the hybrid!

On the B6, destinations found were Pattingham & strangely Essington via Wednesfield.

Now I know Twm used to run to Pattingham (Old 516 & 517) but when was Essington served by Twm last?

Great day by the way.

If my memory serves me right the route was 316 which ran Essington - Walsall via New Invention or Bloxwich and was an early morning single Mondays to Fridays journey that finished about 10 years ago. I thought it ran from Essington rather than to Essington. Other people may have a more accurate memory for you.
