North East Festival of Transport 2017
29th and 30th July 2017
@ Seaburn

Quote:Dates for the first North East Festival of Transport have been confirmed.

The weekend of 29 and 30 July 2017 will see the inaugural North East Festival of Transport taking place on Sunderland sea front. Entry forms are now available.

Being spearheaded by groups including the North East Bus Preservation Trust and Sunderland and District Classic Vehicle Society with support by Sunderland City Council, the event is set to bring together vintage buses, traction engines and commercial vehicles, classic cars and motorbikes at a prime location on Sunderland's award winning sea front.

The event is aiming to fulfil a long held wish of transport enthusiasts in the region to create a major showcase event, similar to those held in some other part of the country.

Interest among vintage vehicle owners is already high with hundreds of vehicles expected on the large and easily accessible show fields, within sight of Sunderland’s Blue Flag award winning beaches.

Sounds great (and a good opportunity for people to display their traction engines, since Sunderland Steam festival seems to fall prey too the elements all too easily, with the site becoming waterlogged) but I haven't the foggiest what I'll be doing more than 6 months from now!

Genuinely hope this works and helps break down some barriers and helps develop the scene further.


I have no idea what I am doing next weekend, never mind July.

The NNRG are working with the NEBPT on this venture. We think that's its important to showcase what we have in the North East. Every preserved bus that both Groups have on the road will be tuning out.

I for one am pushing like mad to promote this event and we are working very hard with The Washington Trust to make it as good as we can. We will be there for the 2 days with 4710 and 4855 hopefully getting joined by 4708 with the addition of 3501,6080,3656.

Hope to see you there.

Fantastic. Hopefully it is a good turnout, and something that can be built on year on year! Smile

Sadly a rally I'm avoiding. The huge crowds that the airshow attract will make it a no go for me. Just don't like the crowds, and the addition it will be difficult to get photos, and sometimes my paitence isn't of a saint.

Sunderland Airshow is on the 21st to 23rd July, which is a week before this event occurs, so you won't have any issues with huge crowds.

Ah it's a lot earlier this year for that event then. Going off last year, thought it would have been the same weekend. Mind still doesn't make a difference since I'm working that weekend anyway.

Nope. I've seen the odd person ask on social media, but the response seems to be "turn up and find out". 

I am in two minds about going myself, as I found Durham and Whitley Bay to be so disappointing in terms of turnout.

I would have thought, it would be busier tomorrow as I would have thought people would be more likely to attend on a Sunday as less people work Sundays than Saturdays. Apparently some buses that aren't there today will be in attendance tomorrow including gas Scania / E400 MMC demonstrator 80036 / DD16GAS. Don't think I'll bother myself tomorrow.
