Seemed like the rally this year was lacking some stuff, especially Arriva but there's nothing that can really be done about that but a few independents and some preserved stuff was notably absent as well, yet despite the extra space everything was still parked close together?!
I've decided to head home now as I was struggling to go over and talk to anyone else and I cleared any buses of interest to me by about lunchtime, so I didn't see much point in sticking around. TBH I haven't been enjoying the hobby as much recently, especially around here, far more enjoying outings in Yorkshire as it seems like there is more interesting stuff there than there is round here IMO, think I need to start up the further afield outings again.

(18 Jun 2017, 3:33 pm)Jimmi Problem is, if you just wear a t-shirt in hot weather like this, you end up with that stupid tan down your arms that stops at whatever length the T-shirt you've been wearing ends, although I suppose it's not really a problem if you aren't going to be seen with no top on.

(18 Jun 2017, 3:34 pm)Adrian You mean you'll look like a drumstick lolly?
(18 Jun 2017, 3:42 pm)Charles41 I am felt the rally was a bit of a disappointment, plenty of space but not many buses. I left about half one and had a slow walk into the city centre.
On Tuesday I'm heading to Wallsend to try and track down the new demonstrator.

Well I'm a bit sunburnt. Also I forgo my pony related t-shirt for a light blue t-shirt due to my pony shirt being in wash lol.
(18 Jun 2017, 6:03 pm)Multi21 Same problem as Spillers if I'm completely honest. I think it's going to be a trend im afraid. Fingers crossed for Seaburn.
I was at the event today and had a good time. Was able to ride all of the buses I wanted as the shuttle runs were regular. Was particularly pleased to get the Blackpool Transport Olympian 377 (M377 SCK).
however was a shame to see no Arriva presence, hopefully whatever the issue is can be sorted for future events. Space could also have been used better particularly at the Go North East part.

(18 Jun 2017, 8:47 pm)Adrian What is the issue like? Is it something that the NEBPT could sort out with Arriva, as it is a shame not to see them attend anything?
