Looks like the Metrocentre Rally will be hit with Rain on and off throughout the Day tomorrow, hopefully it isn't heavy as I intended to stop all day.

It's looking a lot better than it was, but still not ideal.
I'm probably going to aim for one of the early 4's rather than wait for X88. Be there most of the day too!

I was going to get on the 09:55am X88 from The Galleries, which will get me there for 10:15am, Can't see the point in getting on the X1 then the X66 over to the MetroCentre, I may go back home via Gateshead though.

I'll be either cycling or driving down in my car depending on the weather. In past years I've always been there for around 10 o'clock - I can't see this year being any different.
Sometimes I go home and come back later in the afternoon. It's unlikely I'll be doing that this year as I'm going to the Gateshead match later in the day.
RE: North East Bus & Coach Show 2014 - Tom - 03 May 2014
I'll more than likely be getting the 306/308 then the TEN.
RE: North East Bus & Coach Show 2014 - Adrian - 04 May 2014
Well I'm up and out at the bus stop already (0645)!
Should be a good day despite the light drizzle! Hopefully I'll bump into a few of you this year.

my train arrives there at 9:59 so i'll get there just as it starts
RE: North East Bus & Coach Show 2014 - Dan - 04 May 2014
I'll get the news done and then be there after that. Whenever that is.
RE: North East Bus & Coach Show 2014 - Adrian - 04 May 2014
Buses starting to arrive now. Two Howard Snaith coaches turned up mega early, and now the GNE buses are flowing in one by one.
RE: North East Bus & Coach Show 2014 - Adrian - 04 May 2014
Also BBC are now reporting a rain free day.

I'll be heading off at around 10 or 11. Glad it's going to be a rain free day though

I've been here around and about since before 8. :p the one time of the day you can guarantee seeing all buses in motion.

Wasn't so bad after a subway breakfast washed down with two cups of black coffee!
RE: North East Bus & Coach Show 2014 - Jimmi - 04 May 2014
Annoyed that Arriva change their Durham timetables today, but don't change the Darlington services for another fortnight, which includes an extra No. 7 at 0847 from Newton Aycliffe which would get me into Durham for 0925 which means I could catch the 0944 X22 and arrive at 1030. But today I miss a 21 by 1 minute and have to wait 29 mins for the next one or get the 1110 X24 which means I'm not gonna be there until midday.

Recognised a few photographers faces who were standing just on the roundabout when I was heading in earlier on

Me and Malarkey no doubt?
say hello if you're still about.
RE: North East Bus & Coach Show 2014 - MurdnunoC - 04 May 2014
I'm back in the house now after being at the event for about an hour or so.
I arrived at the Coach Park at approx 10:30 and, like Andreos, noticed two people taking photographs near the Coach Park roundabout as buses were approaching the venue.
I briefly introduced myself to MarxistaFozzski - correctly deducing it was him as who else would be wearing a Darlington away strip. I would have introduced myself to others but since I have no earthly idea what any of you look like, I couldn't.
Sorry!
