North East Buses

Hello.

The NNRG are planning to do 2 road runs next year. However as a member of this group I have decided that one of them will be turned over to you. The members. Basically what this will entail is that we will do a circuit of County Durham. Starting at Chester LE Street then going to Stanely. From Stanely we will go to Durham via Sacriston. After a 30 min stop in Durham we will return to Chester LE Street via Sacriston and Waldrige before returning to Chester LE Street. Dates and times to follow.

Now the fun part for you all.... YOU will decide the bus we use.. FTN 710W or R855 PRG.

Sounds like a decent run. The ones in the past have always been a cracking day out too, so I'd highly recommend!

I've added a poll to the top of the thread, which should make it a bit easier to track peoples 'vote'

Thanks for that Adrian. Will make it a lot easer.

Just been thinking Craig you should try and set up a Volvo B10BLE gathering somewhere, similar to what you have with the Leyland's built in Workington.

I could be done. I was thinking about getting them all together at Newcastle at the Bus and Coach Show.

I am going to talk to Beamish Museum about using these grounds for a bus event in 2019. I am hoping that Leyland National's and Volvo B10BLE's will feature predominantly but the event will be open to any bus or coach.
