Well, as 2017 approaches its end, there's a new rally season ahead - and for many, the first truly North East-based event is the Annual Teesside Running Day.

The 2018 event is currently pencilled in for Sunday 22nd April.

As with previous years, the main 'hub' will be the South Side of the Transport Bridge (the Middlesbrough side) with buses running to the Bus Station and Stockton amongst other destinations.

After the shortage of Group vehicles at the 2017 event, it is expected that at least 2 will be in attendance at the 2018 one - H106 for its fourth appearance and 99 making a welcoming return after missing the 2017 season due to mechanical issues. There, may, however be a surprise appearance - more on that closer to the time Wink

It was sold to a private buyer who has links to the group .
But it is in no way ready for any preservation debut.

Don't forget this is next Sunday.

At this present time, 23 preserved vehicles are booked to attend. As with the last two years, six routes will be operated.

Further to my original post, the surprise appearance I hinted at was to be the appearance of our Leyland PD2 H240 (JVN 40E) which made its first public appearance at the Stockton depot open day last Sunday. However, it is unlikely to put in an appearance, leaving H106 and 99 to represent the Group. This is likely to be the last Running Day to feature just two of the Group's fleet.

Really good day out this is, if anybody hasn't been before. The weather has been perfect for the last two of them as well, so lets hope for more of the same next weekend! Smile

Aye. It was pleasant last weekend also, as it was during today. Would be annoying if it were to rain. I've a real first-world problem of predicting the weather to pick a suitable camera  Confused

Will be watching with a close eye...

Go North East should be in attendance tomorrow with an X10 and Angel branded double-deck.

Had been intended to bring the Yutong demo instead of the Angel, but there wasn't any drivers available willing to go to Riverside.

Don’t forget this takes place tomorrow!

23 vehicles are currently expected to be in attendance and use - including our own H106 and 98. Also expected is former OK Motor Services LFT5X - the example due to attend 2 years ago but had to drop out at the last minute.

First shuttle bus from the Transporter will be leaving at 11.
First departure from Stockton is scheduled for 10.45
Last departure from the Transporter will be the usual 17.00
As it stands, the last 212 journey is expected back at the Transporter at 1706 (presently set to be Metrobus 3501), while the last 42 is due back at 1709 (N703LTN)

The starting times are from posts on our Facebook Group ‘The Teesside 500 Group’. The aforementioned last journeys and allocated vehicles are from internal emails between the volunteers and, as always with this event, the vehicles are subject to available on the day.

I shall be in my usual role of inspector/dispatcher at the Transporter until half 1. Programmes, as usual, will be on sale on this year’s Control Vehicle - newly converted Stagecoach MAN Trainer 22074.

As it stands, the sun is shining so here’s hoping it stays that way and everyone enjoys what is usually the highlight of the North East Rally Season.

Enjoyable day as always. This is easily the premier bus rally in the region.

Also, a big shout-out to BridgeNorth. It can't be cheap (or easy) bringing the Transporter Bridge back from Arizona to provide the backdrop to the 500 Group Running Day, but they manage to do so on a yearly basis.
