Well, now it's 2016, time to begin the countdown to the 2016 Rally season.

The first one in the North East area is, as usual, the 500 Group's Teesside Running Day.

The date is presently set for Sunday 24th April 2016.

As with 2015, our Bristol VR H106 and Dennis Loline 99 will be attending. More will be revealed as it becomes clear.

Operational Base is the South End of the Transporter Bridge. The runs link the site to Middlesbrough Bus Station and Stockton High Street.

I should mention for those that haven't been before - this is not a rally as per the other events in the North East. This is more based on running the vehicles on services rather than just displaying them. Yes, there are vehicles that attend that don't provide any runs but the majority of entries provide trips on a timetable.

Sounds good just a nightmare to get to with me having to get the 88 at 08:35 but luckily it connects with the 27 in Jarrow, just have to check times tomorrow and hope the X10 is due.

It seems I never added the X10 times.... I have a 2 min connection at Heworth. How much is a Get Around single on the X10 from Heworth to Stockton/Middlesbrough?

Hopefully H106 will be fine after Seaburn last year, will have to ride both Olympian's.

You can't have Get Around singles on the TTX, Dan. You'll need to get a Get Around day ticket I believe?

The maximum peak fare is £2.30 which is what I paid for my niece from Gateshead to Peterlee so a dayticket is probably going to be cheaper for you.

Yeah it's £2.30 for any journey beyond Heworth from Newcastle or Gateshead for a get around single.

After tonight's 500 Group meeting, I can now confirm further entries for the Running Day:
  • Stephen Foster is entering his Leyland National YFY4M
  • Rob Hughes has entered - however the entry list has Bristol LH AFB586V however we believe he is bring his newly purchased Leyland Leopard/Alexander Y-Type YSG87S
  • Lee Garrett has entered both of his vehicles - Northern MCW Metrobus 3501 (UTN 501Y) and United Bristol RE 6080 (SHN 80L)
  • Further to previous, Stagecoach have kindly allow the attendance of one of the 2 Volvo Olympians (likely to be 16836 - 16834 is both looking a bit shabby and I understand has a slight issue) as well as one of the Dennis Tridents also due for withdrawal shortly. Please note - due to insurance purposes, neither of these vehicles will be in operation during the event
  • Further to previous, Stagecarriage will be bring both Volvo Olympian 23 (R833 OVN) and Scania OmniDekka 28 (YN03 DFC). 833 will be running during the event and it is already planned (for those that don't have to rush off) to have a photo-shoot with 833 and its Stagecoach sister under the Transporter towards the end of the event
  • Stagecoach will also be supplying one of the Stockton-based Volvo B10M/Alexander PS Training Vehicles for use as control vehicle during the event, taking the place of 21037. At present, it is penciled in to be newly painted 20121 however it will be whichever is roadworthy on the day

Wonder if this is the reason why Stagecoach don't seem to make an appearance at any of the other rallies in the North East?
