Every twenty minutes during the daytime.

Bus Station Stand N

Also, if you get the 2, double check where it is going.

towards end of last year, the 2 was swapped around in wolves bus station so now stand m is for warstones, and t is bushbury hill. so please folks use stand T to get to the open day!! service 11 was also swapped from stand j (nxwm) to its own stand which is n. travel express 11 still uses j.

How is a garage different on an open day ?! Do they kind of change operations around a bit does it go through a reshuffle to accommodate the crowds

@Liberator9 its Sunday 21st June ;)

There is photos from last years event on flickr.

The front yard was used to display both preserved vehicles and buses in WN's own fleet which last year consisted of 632,1660 (Now withdrawn sadly), 2076,456, 5401 and 5421.

PE's 826 and one of the Scania Bendis were on show last year.

The actual garage (inside) and the main yard down the back were out of bounds for health & safety.

I would like to see the inside of the garage but oh well ! I'll try my best to come, I can finally meet some fellow enthusiasts.

To an extent you could see the 'inside' of the garage from the outside as the shutters were up. As a result several buses on the pits were visible.

The main parking yard is also visible so you do get to see those parts, just there was a barrier put in place last year to stop visitors getting past a certain point.

At the moment no, Wolverhampton's will be the next one after that none scheduled as of yet.

Will there be extra journeys offered on the 2 between Wolverhampton Bus Station and the garage on the open day?  AG ones in years passed used to have relief's on the 1 with a Rover ticket, but with normal services with usual ticket availability operating for the non bus enthusiast.
