(22 Jun 2015, 6:23 pm)aureolin Glad you've told me that. I've never been to the Whitley Bay rally before, and I'd have made that mistake. Tongue


It'd be rude not to when it's in your neck of the woods! Smile

I told him he should float around with me... But, according to him; ''I have more followers than the piped piper''! Tongue

I've just had a look at that, and it's not too far at all actually. I might give that a try, as it'll save having to do 3 buses.

I used to like The Crescent at Seaton Delaval.

It seemed to have gone a little up-market the last time I was there, but the ice-creams were still nice.

Tom Not really, the 308 or 309 goes direct from Newcastle Haymarket and takes about 40 minutes. 

Does the 1 go near?

The 1 terminates at Bournemouth Gardens which is where the rally is held. It uses the car park (which is where the rally is held) to turn around.

Not much chance of that on a Sunday. Though 6116/6117 can appear quite often.

(22 Jun 2015, 4:13 pm)LeeCalder I'm quite looking forward to going to this rally also, although it might be a bit of a nightmare for me to get to.

I'm hoping Go North East bring a couple, John thinks they will. As well as this, I really do hope Arriva bring something as they are always some of the most welcoming at the rally with letting people onto the buses and having a play with the destination blinds etc. I hope one arsehole hasn't ruined it for everyone else at not only this rally but future rally's also.

Arriva will not be attending anymore rallies this year as the drivers don't want to risk their jobs anymore.  Think the next time Arriva will attend a rally is metrocenter 2016. Congratulations to the culprit. I would like to know why my post about it had been deleted.

While investigations are underway, the company probably doesn't want enthusiasts speculating on what did or did not happen.
