Admission charges apply for entry to Beamish Museum.
Interesting that a page has now been set up on the nebpt website. More than likely we can view what will turn up. Beamish will more likely do the same like last year
Beamish have confirmed on the website that pre 1965 buses will run round the museum & thanks to the North East Bus Preservation Trust. Post 1965 will be on display as well
News confirmation yesterday from staff
Beamish rally will be split into two. One set of the rally will be inside the museum (hosting the 1965 buses)

Yes could be some interesting scenes in Chester as the general public witness Beamish/NEBPT running a more reliable service than GNE!
Well I think we can safely say bus enthusiasts can run bus services more reliably than the bus companies themselves!
