A Small Part of the front is being used for Car Maintenance Stu.

Obviously depending on damage, but it will be a shame if it will have to be demolished. Although it hasn't been a bus garage for almost 30 years, it's another piece of Birmingham's transport history lost.

The 58 and 60 operated from Cov Road Garage when it was open it also operated Trams and Trolley Buses from there and like you said Gareth it won't be the same if it gets demolished.

Here is a link about the blaze last night - http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/coventry-road-fire-was-arson-8310299
