Travelling on the official buses

[bones.]

Anyone ever travelled with the club on the official buses? Just wondered where they go from, and wheres it best to leave a car, particularly for midweek games when your going to be back late on in the night.

Park in VP North Stand car park. Coaches (we don't use buses) leave from 'away' coach car park across the road.

The details of the buses are here: http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/VillaSpecialBuses/0,,10265,00.html
They only run for league matches, and you can just do a one way trip if you want, but still have to pay the full fare.
In my case I do that if I go to a mid week match as I work near town so I get the number 7 or Lichfield Road buses down there and the specials back.

The buses park up in the Aston transport museum car park and leave approximately 30 minutes after the match.  Although it can be earlier depending on the police, who give an escort around the traffic.  I found out how useful this was last year at the Man City match.  The partner of one of the guy's on the bus had gone down by car and sent him a text 45 minutes after the match had finished to find out how far we had got on the bus.  By that time we had just passed the old Night Out club and sher was still waiting to get onto the Lichfield Road.

Thanks for the info, both. Much appreciated.
