Open day Wolverhampton garage

[James4368]

do we get to look inside what NXWM buses are parked on sunday?

[Solo1]

Alot of the garage i'd imagine will be out of bounds with the garage being full of buses on a Sunday. The buses usually parked by the gates on a Sunday will be pushed further back down the yard

I would of thought all the buses would of been parked down the botom yard

I might wear my NX hi viz on the day :)

There are usually some B7's parked in the front yard (You can see from the main road)

Just to clarify, every bus not being used by WN on the day will be on display in one way or another so all will be avilable to photograph. Naturally some areas of the garage won't be on show but any visitors will find out the definate litenary on the day

Not a good idea, and you may be asked to remove it. Remember the general public won't be wearing hi-vis, but staff helping the public will. Any member of the public requiring assistance is likely to turn to someone wearing an NX hi-vis and you would not be able to help.

I agree, if you're lucky enough to have one, stick to wearing it in private. I hope you weren't wearing it on your recent 'visit'!

Any alternative routes? This'll be my route to the garage...

74: Hockley to West Brom (12:55 to 13:22)
79: West Brom to Wolverhampton Bus Station (13:32 to 14:18)
2: Wolverhampton to Bus Garage (14:20 to 14:29)

I should get there earlier, however, I'm not intending on leaving my house around 11-ish. I should leave my house around 12:20 in mind of a 1hr 30min journey (roughly). Seeing as the 74 has a higher frequency than the 75, I've chosen to specify that bus to West Brom. I'm sure either will do...

Do Spectra's operate the 79 on Sundays often? Just curious, only ever been on them once, while they were still at BC...

Could get a bus to Birmingham and get a tram from Snow Hill to Wolverhampton. Trams runs every 15 minutes on Sundays. :) Then a quick journey on WN 2 to the garage.

[Sh4318]

The quickest way to get to Wolverhampton from Birmingham would be by train (New Street station).

No worries. I'd just get the bus - not a fan of paying extra for the train/tram when I have a Term Plus bus pass.

If you miss the 2 (Every 30 mins) you also have the 11 (Every 20 mins on Sundays) which stops at the end of Park Lane on Cannock Rd (Departs from Stand J) :)

Spectra's don't operate on any route on Sundays (Neither do Mercs). 79 is fully Trident Saturdays and Sundays @clayderman :)

@clayderman Your not allowiung yourself much time getting there at 14:30 when the event finishes at 16:00, was just thinking you might want to go earlier as there is bound to be a lot to look at.

Only wish i could make it myself, but at Stobart Truck Fest.

Is it the 2 towards Bushbury?
