Howlands is located a short walk from the New Inn pub, and can be reached by the Arriva North East 6 or Go North East's X21 service. There will also be a shuttle bus service between North Road in Durham and the rally site. The first shuttle leaves at 1000, and will run every 15 minutes thereafter, according to the timetable on the NEBPT website.

is there parking at the site or is it best to park in Durham and get X21 or shuttle across?
Preserved ABus DAF SB220GS / Northern Counties Paladin LF ( R891 FNW ) should be set to appear at this rally again depending on whether Maintenance can be finished by then, --
Which is more than 99% Likely as it's only a small job.
I had a trial drive down to Durham this morning and I have to say the road layout is a nightmare. My favourite has to be the junction with a right turn lane marked on the road but the signage states no right turn. Completely contradictory. If your a new driver like me it's not what you need. I nearly ended up going the wrong way down a one way Street and had to do a quick turn in the road to put it right.
I will be attending next Sunday but if I drive I'll be going via nevilles cross to avoid the city centre.

Can someone please send that E200 MMC demonstrator along? Would mean I don't have to faff on attempting to find it on the IndiGo North Tyne routes which would take ages for me to travel up there and it's on service's I have zero clue on the routes they take (can manage 19 but would still be a pain to find).

(15 Jun 2017, 8:34 am)Tom I will let you know if I see it - you will be able to catch it on the 40/41 in Wallsend or Battle Hill Drive, Hadrian Park etc.Cheers mate. The issue is finding it and getting somewhere nice and in the sun for a photo which sounds easy enough but I have very limited route knowledge of the 40/41 (and 42/42A). Will probably go after it on Monday if I can be bothered.

I'm told there's no Arriva attendance this year... health and safety apparently.
(17 Jun 2017, 4:58 pm)Adrian Strange. I am sure I read in the NEBPT magazine that they sponsored the event.
