Well, as people already seem eager for the 2017 season, let's look at it shall we.

The first one in the North East area for the large majority is the 500 Group's Teesside Running Day.

The date is presently set for Sunday 23rd April 2017.

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

Expect the usual attendees (if you have been before you know the regular line-up) with local independents and the large operators sending vehicle along even if only for static display.

The event is next Sunday.

There is currently 18 vehicles booked in to do runs - this is subject to change right up until the start time and indeed until the end of the event. Including static vehicles, there will be 26 vehicles.

The first bus is expected to leave Stockton High Street about 10.15 and the Transporter at 10.30.

Will there be a bus operating over the Transporter Bridge this year?

It's a window of opportunity I've managed to miss at previous 500 Group Running Days I've attended.

Not 100% sure - the Transporter is currently closed for repairs so it will all depend on whether it is fixed by the weekend or not.

Just to remind everyone that it is 
tomorrow.

Like last year, I will try and post what is in attendance as they arrive - plus what vehicles will operate what runs. Might be handy to plan your day then ?

Of course, programmes will be for sale from the Control Vehicle at the Transporter site.

For the benefit:

H106 will be the first departure from Stockton at 10:45 - Stagecarriage's VR will follow
First departure from Middlesbrough will be R833OVN at 11:00. This also forms the first Transporter at 10:50

Tut, tut!

Fantastic day out today. Think everyone heard me a mile off, with the coughing and spluttering (apologies!) Always think that the 500 Group Running Day is one of the best organised, and most enjoyable, events in the North East. You're never standing around too long before the next bus is there to take you on another journey, and there's always a great variety of buses in attendance.

Thanks to everyone who brought a bus or contributed to the rally today. Let's see how Spillers Wharf compares next week!

Agreed in every way. Clearly a lot of effort is put in by the 500 Group and I'm sure it was appreciated by everyone there today. Everyone I spoke to from the group was wonderfully friendly and I even joined up for their e-newsletter - for £10 a year it's a great read and an absolute bargain. 

Saw a few faces I presumed were from here today but it's always an awkward one approaching someone hoping they are who you think they are!
