I'll definitely be going to this. It will at least make up for not being able to get to the Metrocentre Rally yesterday too, thanks to the Tour de Yorkshire proving to be an inconvenience in terms of getting back home for it. Looks to be a great opportunity to have a little ride along the Seafront or wherever they are going on a Metrobus (scheduled to be B198 WUL, which I saw today actually) with it being their last season on the 109. Sure the Open top VR will be something good, too.

I'll be there as I quite like the sounds of what's going to be there, hoping the United Leyland Olympian will be doing a run out as I'd love to ride one of them again.
Unsure on my travel arrangements yet, I may drop the original plan of heading to Whitby on Northern from Aycliffe and instead just get the train as far as Middlesbrough then switch to the X93 straight through to Scarborough as it'll give me a bit extra time to play with, getting the train then catching the X93 from Whitby would give me at least 30 minutes less and that's if it arrives in Whitby on-time.

(02 May 2016, 9:04 pm)BusLoverMum We're getting a lift to Middlesbrough - the earliest we could get there, otherwise, would be 1pm, by which time we've be needing to think about getting back again, soon, before our local bus finishes for the day!
(02 May 2016, 7:54 pm)Tom Earliest I could get there is 1438!! So there would be no point whatsoever.

(02 May 2016, 9:20 pm)Jimmi Oh dear!
The earliest I was able to get to Scarborough on public transport was 11:38. I have just found that The Eden's Leopard is going to the event so I'm now heading down there on that from West Auckland, so I should now arrive in Scarborough at around 10am and leave at 4pm.

(02 May 2016, 9:25 pm)Tom I did look at the trains but you have to go via York and I couldn't be bothered with that.
And that will be a canny ride down.
(02 May 2016, 9:28 pm)S813 FVK I'll be going down at least the night before and will be going back on the night with school being the next day. Looking to go down to Big Bus Day down in Hull for the first time in September, too.
(02 May 2016, 9:41 pm)BusLoverMum *ears prick up*
bet that leaves early, mind.

(02 May 2016, 9:46 pm)Jimmi Yeah I probably could have got there earlier on trains but it would have been more expensive.
Pleased that I'm now going on the Leopard as it's a good old motor plus it will probably be more fun plus all I need to worry about now is getting to West Auckland on the morning but I should be easily able to sort that out.
I may be heading to Big Bus Day as well but I'm undecided on that at this stage, think there was another event somewhere I was looking at for the same day.
8am.

(02 May 2016, 10:33 pm)northern156 It'd be quicker via York than any other way seeing as you're doing 100mph+ most of the way!

(02 May 2016, 11:01 pm)BusLoverMum you'd be surprised - we investigated the trains and they'd have been barely quicker for us, from Durham or Sunderland, than bus all the way.

(02 May 2016, 11:12 pm)northern156 I may be wrong as this is from the top of my head, but say Newcastle to Scarborough. 60 minutes Newcastle - York then, say, a 15 minute connection onto a 50 minute trip to Scarbs?
Admittedly Sunderland and the coast could be a bit messier and therefore take longer but anywhere on the ECML seems a fair bit quicker?
Plus you'd get all valuable RailMiles which, for me personally, is much better :p
