Northern National Restoration Group Running Day 2016
I was going to come but other stuff (like Metro replacements) have come up. So I'll find a place to get photos of the road run and then I'll do my own thing

(03 Sep 2016, 6:44 pm)Malarkey Can I ask why you would rather go and photograph metro replacements, which you could do anytime throughout the year, rather than participating in this one off event and getting photos of vehicles which you'll only see a handful of times a year at rallies.I noticed that a number of enthusiasts did Metro Replacements on Monday rather than head to Seaburn, at the end of the day, it's your choice as to what you do but I can't help but feel slightly disappointed that some would rather get Metro Replacements using normal service buses which see normal service work each day rather than supporting the people putting their time, money and effort into preserving stuff that would probably otherwise gone to the scrap heap.

Some people simply don't enjoy preservation and get no joy from restoration perhaps?
Diverse interests and all that
I did Seaburn, then went to get Metro Replacements and Tall Ships, but I have a car, so doesn't take me long to cover the distance between places.
I shall also be in attendence tomorrow, however word to the wise, I've had a busy week at work and I'm tired, so please don't annoy me too much, though I will talk to people, I'm not that anti social, just hope I've had coffee.

Hello.
First thanks to everyone who took the time out today to come on our road run. I hope we put on A good show. We had A diverse line-up of power for everyone to enjoy.
We put this road run on once A year to let people sample our buses on A long run rather than just A quick trip around the block at A rally.
As for some of the comments above.. That's peoples chose. If they want to photograph Metro Replacements that's fine.
The chance to travel on FTN 710W, YFY 4M and R855 PRG mustn't appeal to all. That's fine also.
Big'un didn't want to go, in the end. After Monday's fiasco with delays and poor communication regarding our local gemstone based service, he's a bit wary of our local Sunday services, at the moment.
Went along today, quite enjoyed it. Hopefully it can be done again next year.
Probably surprised the people still on YFY4M in Bishop Auckland this afternoon by photographing it on the roundabout outside the Bus Station, Déjà vu to last year's run. Reason I went to Bishop Auckland was because I preferred to get the X21 to Bish Vegas then get the 5A home arriving home slightly later rather than sit bored in Durham Bus Station for 45 minutes waiting for the 7, especially after waiting 35 minutes for the 15A this morning.
My photos will be uploaded at a later stage as I'm on doing other stuff atm.
Such a shame I missed this outing, I'd been really looking forward to it. Next time I'll get some cash out the day before rather than running about madly in an attempt to find a cash machine that worked.
Oh my day got worse, next my partner's bed collapsed and then I tripped over a paving stone and twisted my ankle.
Hopefully I'll attend the NNRG running day next year. If there are any NNRG outings in the autumn or Christmas time could you let us know.

Great afternoon out, got to ride one which I haven't ridden on (YFY 4M) and the other 2 that I have when they were in service with Go North East. 4710 I have ridden on when I was at primary school when they used it on route 718 when I lived in the Stanley area and 4855 on the Lime services. Hope to do another one in the future.

Like ive said above, I couldn't attend due to being on Holiday.
Though ive enjoyed viewing everyone's photos of the event, One thing ive noticed in 4855 has caught my eye.
Seen in Malarky's photo is a white box in the back of the cab https://www.flickr.com/photos/adammalark...ateposted/
What is it? Ive never seen it before.
