Evening all, 

The Northern National Restoration Group are holding another event on Sunday 4th September this year, following the successful one last year in which more people than ever anticipated turned up to ride ex-Northern Leyland National Mk2/Leyland FTN 710W, ex-National Welsh Leyland National Mk1/Leyland YFY 4M and former-Leyland test vehicle Leyland National Mk1/Leyland WHH 556S. The three vehicles all differed mechanically, with FTN 710W being Volvo-repowered, YFY 4M carrying it's original Leyland 510 engine, and DAF-repowered WHH 556S.

This year, Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 4855 (R855 PRG) is being used alongside another vehicle from the Workington Transport Heritage Trust (potentially anything in their vast collection that is MOT'd). The route that has been chosen is an extensive run that follows the 775 route from Consett Bus Station to Chester-le-Street Market Place, the 21 to Durham, a run on the 53 to Witton Gilbert, then the 765 back to Consett Bus Station from there.

At present, pickups are to be undertaken at Consett at 10:15, Stanley at 10:50, Chester-le-Street at 11:20, and Durham Millburngate at 11:45. Photostops will be available on Stanley Front Street, Chester-le-Street, Durham North Road/Millburngate and Lanchester Village Green. All pickups aside from Consett will not be returned to, so those joining us will have to make their own way back from Consett. Passengers will be able to change vehicles at all of the locations listed above. 

Following a problem last year, all under-16s must be accompanied by an adult. Any donations will be greatly received, as the cost of operating such an event isn't cheap.

I've put us down as a yes. Impossible for us to get to Consett for 10:15am (our first bus of the day doesn't get to Durham until 9:45-ish) but can definitely join at Stanley or CLS.

What time is it anticipated that the buses will arrive back at Consett?

I'd have thought around 13:00, the last pick-up should be at Millburngate at about 11:45, allowing time to get to Consett via Witton Gilbert and Lanchester within an hour or so.

Getting back should be no problem then. Whether we board at Stanley or CLS will depend on what time we get our backsides out of bed (or mine, to be precise - big'un is always up at silly o'clock)

I'm down as a maybe, unfortunately the pick up time at Consett isn't possible for me, Stanley is but I'd have to sit in Durham for nearly an hour waiting for a 16/16A arriving around 10 minutes before the pick up time. The other alternative is Chester-le-Street but by that time I will have missed a fair amount of the trip. I personally feel it would be better if the pick ups were about an hour later especially as I can't see where it would go on so late that it would cause problems for those who have a low or even no service on Sunday night, I feel like the times stated here in the morning could potentially put some people off especially for those who don't live close to those areas like myself.

Hello.

Last year we had an incident with a young chap who was miles from home and I think was not suppose to be 40 miles or so out. With all our trips out the timetable is at very best A guide. I took the decision that I wouldn't get the 3 buses together at Bows Museum and instead drove 4710 flat out to Bishop Auckland so the lad could catch the 21 back home. The return trip would have used 15% more fuel but that was not the issue. The group never got A thanks or nothing from him and that is why all our trips are now nobody under 16 un attended. I wasn't going to do any more of these runs for the open enthusiast but after A group meeting it was decided we would do one more.
I might well amend the times so its more user friendly for the WTHT and people to get to Consett. From 10.00 to 12.00.

watch our Facebook Group and the NNRG's web site www.nnrg.co.uk for more info.

He didn't spoil the day. We were running late from the start and unfortunately the lad got himself upset. I can imagine his thoughts as we were going over the West Moors.... It gave those on 4710 A show of what she really can do...

The group wanted another road run this year so the only way I would sanction one was if we used 4855 and had a minimum age. I realize many people on hear are under 21.

Our timetable isn't reliable. So my advice to anyone who is doing something after the road run that is time sensitive is don't bother coming as we will probably be late.

Don't worry about it.
There will be some who preferred the earlier time and others who prefer the later. It's impossible to please everyone.

(30 Jun 2016, 8:11 pm)South Tyne Lad Ah right, Shame that one lad had to spoil it for everyone.
Will try and get a Adult to take me, If not I will try and roam about myself and get photos of it en route.

Thanks for the info  Smile

I can always temporarily adopt you if you're in a fix Wink

(30 Jun 2016, 8:39 pm)Craig Smith Hello.

For everyone's convenience the NNRG have agreed to move the start time from 10.00 to 12.00.

I can even get to Consett by then!

I think the issue for a few of us, out in Co Durham, is that either our bus services simply don't wake up until after 9am or they're so disjointed that the connections are poor. Just an extra hour would make it easier for a lot of us.
