It'll be interesting to see where they'll park all the buses! I think in Glasgow there was a brand new bus depot that hadn't opened yet that was used for the games fleet.

Indeed there was. Caledonia,the replacement for Larkfield-which closed just after the Commonwealth games-and ultimately Parkhead,was used.

They could use the space at Longbridge by the Bournville College

Don't travel express use the spare space in their depot as parking, could squeeze a couple buses in there  ;)

Expect to see a few Stagecoach Enviro 400MMCs around Birmingham on Saturday.
The Diamond League athletics are on at the Alexander Stadium, and it looks like it is being used as a trial run for the Commonwealth games services
