So I'm on my way to the City Centre and chances are, I'll miss my Dudley bound bus to get the initial shuttle..... well isn't this embarrassing

Tell me about it. I'd probably miss it by one or two minutes! There's always the 205... ::)

Is there any other bus from West Brom that would get me to Dudley quicker than the 74?

Just gone pass Dudley Port. 4962 is quite nippy, once put in its paces!

No blinds on sale from what I could see. :s

Update: Really bummed I didn't get a destination blind roll. Nevertheless, it was a fantastic day! Thanks to the organisers, thanks to Tony for the nippy journeys in 4798! Shame about the weather... Hopefully it'll be better on the next event, if there is one! :P

That's what I thought when I noticed no blinds sale... So I asked the engineer if he could get a B6 blind for me from the dead yard. He took me there and I requested for the Coventry and Yardley Wood blinds. They were from 660 and 1411. I'm a very very happy man! I was feeling generous and donated £40 to the charity for the blinds and other things I had today.

Many thanks to the NXWM and Tony for organising this day. :)
