(15 Aug 2016, 7:59 pm)C522LJR Within the last 12 months there have been several new vehicles appearing at the local rallies. Like Craig points out, he has R855PRG which has just been restored. I myself have just finished FTN708W, and other buses from my group include C656LJR and AUP369W, all of which are new to the scene. Tyneside Heritage Vehicles have also displayed a couple of new purchases too. Having attended rallies for a good few years now, I think that this has been one of the better years for new displays.

Fixed your post. Not sure what had happened, but it had merged with Craig's post!

I agree - I think for new entrants, this year has been one of the busiest in certainly the past few years. This year of course being the return of the Go North East blue/red/yellow livery, which I guess is more recognisable to some of the younger members of the forum. It certainly does with me, although I don't think I can claim the 'young' tag these days. Smile

I just think we could be so much better event wise, and really showcase the North East. There is no question that we have a lot of fantastic preservation examples, across a number of hard working groups. I just see it as a shame that the Metrocentre is the biggest they get as a showcase up here, but I guess that's only because we don't have a 'big' event.

I know Beamish was spoken about recently, and I really hope something like that comes off. I'm sure this site would heavily support such an idea, with the amount of hits we get from the North East and beyond.

I'll shut up now, as I'm conscious of clogging up the Seaburn thread!
