I believe it will be the same as last year, so BC and AG, I'd imagine.

BC normally help to cover these

BC have exclusively covered the last three weeks' T20 matches. The other garages normally come on board on the more busier days ie one day international/five day test. During the Ashes last year even office staff from BY were driving buses!

I always thought it was a collection of garages just lending a spare vehicle in.

Office Staff  :D Im assuming drivers aren't obliged to take up duties on these shuttle type services ?

No you volunteer via a pink report. During the ashes it was so busy a couple of 'graduates' lent a hand driving.

Look out on Friday 24th  (I think) one day international maybe some loan buses on there. I know some of the lads that do it so I'll ask about if I see them.

I think the buses come from different garages if required but it's run by one garage, in this case BC. V Festival is run by AG (well the AG/YW General Manager) but the buses come from allover.

WN and WA run vehicles from their own depots with vehicles from other garages vehicles loaned too.

Yeah, because they're closer to the location. The event is run by general manager at AG.

I know they draft in drivers from all over as I know some Perry Barr drivers who did it last time. They were based out of WA for V Festival.
