(17 Jul 2016, 7:41 pm)Andreos1 What was the rally marketed as? A classic rally or a bus rally?
I know what I like to see at a rally and (without condoning or agreeing with what has been said) it seems Mr Scarlett likes a certain type of vehicle too.
Some don't and prefer to see modern stuff.

I do think the big operators sending their vehicles along to events like this could be seen as a cheap PR exercise - in addition to any good they bring to the rally or restoration scene.

Metrocentre is listed as a 'Bus and Coach show', Durham is listed as a 'Vintage Bus Gathering', Whitley Bay as a 'Bus Rally', and Seaburn as a 'Historic Vehicle Display'.

I don't think either GNE or Arriva look at the rallies in that respect, as as far as I can see, it's enthusiasts who arrange and prepare the bues to take to the events. It doesn't appear that there's any marketing drive from either, otherwise there'd be goodies given out, company reps there, and stuff such as leaflets and timetables (Arriva do the latter already!)
