It'd be good to have a running list of some sort in the thread, as it's often information not readily available at events.

I'm hoping to get a couple of things more comfortable! RE: 500 Group Annual Teesside Running Day 2016 - Kuyoyo - 19 Apr 2016 (29 Mar 2016, 10:02 pm)Kuyoyo After tonight's 500 Group meeting, I can now confirm further entries for the Running Day: Slight amendments to this list, Stagecoach will now NOT be sending a Trident and instead one of the 2015 batch of ADL E300s will be attending. RE: 500 Group Annual Teesside Running Day 2016 - Kuyoyo - 22 Apr 2016 Small reminder that this takes place on Sunday. First departure from Stockton should be about 1100 from stand J at the Southern End of the High Street. For passengers travelling to Middlesbrough, departures will be from Stand 15. A special feature for this year's event is a few journeys along the former Trollybus routes taking in North Ormesby, Cargo Fleet, South Bank, Grangetown, Eston, Normanby and Teesville passing the former sight of the South Bank depot which closed 30 years ago this year.

I will put a larger more detailed post on once at home. RE: 500 Group Annual Teesside Running Day 2016 - Multi21 - 24 Apr 2016 Quite enjoyed myself today! Not a bad event from the 500 group! RE: 500 Group Annual Teesside Running Day 2016 - Adrian - 24 Apr 2016 First time that I've done this event, and thought it was a cracking day to be honest. We certainly had the weather on our side too, with the Sun coming out in force around lunch time. Highlight of the day was has to be my ride out on ex-United Bristol RE 6080 / SHN80L. This not only looks the part, but it runs brilliantly too. 500 Group Annual Teesside Running Day 2016 - Jimmi - 24 Apr 2016 I enjoyed myself today, got to ride a few buses I hadn't sampled before and one or two that I had. Think my favourite ride of the day was Stagecarriage's ex Stagecoach Volvo Olympian R833OVN, was also an amusing journey as a Stagecoach driver was shouting at the Stagecarriage driver saying something along the lines of "you shouldn't be stopped there, you're not in service, I'm going to report this" I also quite enjoyed Black Prince liveried Mercedes/Optare Prisma N577EUG. I saw many faces I know around, talked to some but I seemed to be pretty quiet today I thought which was not the intention. Photos will be on Flickr later this evening.

Jimmi unfortunately it's quite common for that to come from stagecoach drivers. A bus in a setting down only bus stop. Oh the travesty!! Hope the stagecarriage driver told him to get stuffed RE: 500 Group Annual Teesside Running Day 2016 - Kuyoyo - 24 Apr 2016 (24 Apr 2016, 5:04 pm)Kuyoyo I do apologise for not updating but those who arrived before the first bus was due to depart will be aware of the issues faced this morning and throughout the day with vehicles. Ok, here goes..... A small amount of people will have spotted me as the Transporter Inspector - that came about after H106 failed with a burst air pipe just before it was due to go light to Stockton to do the first run of the day. At the same time, LFS296F (the Alder Valley Open Top VR) was also declared failed due to gearbox issues. As such, JDC599 was bumped up to work a delayed first trip from Stockton but developed issues. We also had a fail to attend in the form of Darlington Corporation Daimler AHN451B. As such, South Shields Busways Atlantean SCN268S was quickly asked to cover the majority of the booked trips. The Open Top VR was covered by the Stagecarriage team with R833OVN covering the Yarm trip and YN03DFC covering the 42 trip via ICI Billingham and Norton. Fortunately, H106 was fixed in time for the first trip of one of this year's 2 new routes - the 92, taking in the old Trollybus routes in the Eston area. The other new service - the 212 to Stockton then Norton and Billingham Greens - was originally planned to be the route worked by the OK Tiger LTF5X was instead covered by 6080, The Eden Leopard and the Stagecarriage Olympian.

Who gave you that title, Kuyoyo? It was 'the fat controller' by what I heard!
