The Newcastle one is excellent - I did it last year.  It uses the Aycliffe red Bristol L and had live narration with someone from Newcastle Council who clearly knew their stuff.  The Sunderland one uses one of the NEBPT vehicles but is a full day and I've never sampled that one.

If I had a pound for every time I've heard a TransPennine service has been cancelled in the last month or so, I would have enough to go away somewhere for the night, maybe two at a push. Being kept awake at night wondering when I will receive my Delay Repay claims.

Details of this year's rallies have gone up on the NEBPT website.  Looks like the NE Festival of Transport at Seaburn is defunct, though the Sunderland and District Classic Vehicle Society and NNRG are running a similarly named event in Durham County Hall car park.

There's been an annual classic vehicle rally at County Hall for a while, so it will be interesting to see if they've expanded the scope (we live a 10 minute walk away)

I think it probably fair to say the chances of any events happening this year are now very slim. Think it will be next summer at the earliest now.

The NNRG are due to have a depot open day at Philadelphia as soon as restrictions are lifted. Also we are hoping to have a event at our depot around the same time with other preserved buses attending. More info will be posed near the time.
