Hello.
Thanks for all the positive comments about our Road Run. Its getting to be the "thing" at this time of year. Both NNRG buses 4710 and 4855 performed faultlessly over the day. As did YFY 4M. I was pleased to give A demonstration of the power of 4710 on the run from Lanchester to Consett. Our guest driver Dan enjoyed all 3 buses over the day. I was very pleased with the turn out and was equally pleased that everyone had a go on the 3 buses.
So now its over to you. I want some feedback from people who took the time to come out. What did you want to see that we didn't do?

Hope to do another one in the future.
Photos from the day.

Would not have been 4710. She was allocated to Philly/Sunderland/Deptford from 1981 until 2002 then Driver training from 2002 to 2006.
The 47,s that you could have had on the 718 were 4700,4701,4705,4713,4714,4715,4718,4719,4721.

Nothing major, but would have liked to have seen the old destinations on 4710 at the photo stops.
Hum... I forgot about that Garry. Never mind al do it next time.
As a lifelong bus fanatic in his early 50's, I have just literally discovered the NEB forum, and am sad to see that I have missed your running day by just two weeks. Never mind, next years event will be in the diary.
I have a love of buses generally, but particularly the Leyland National Mk1's which I can fondly remember being introduced in around 1977 on to the Green Line 721 service in Essex - a service bus I caught each day to school.
I often search google for information on the LN1, and planned to join the Leyland National Group a few years back, however they appear to have vanished. I was on The Glasgow Vintage Vehicles website today, and from there followed some info about a Bus Rally in Kirkby Stephen - from there I found this site.
As a Bishop Auckland resident, I now discover that I missed your running day last year which was right on my doorstep!! Gutted would be the word! Anyway, I have now found you and registered. I'll certainly be at next year's running day (if there is one) and in the meantime having a good poke around your site. It's good to be here
