Durham Father's Day Rally - Howlands Park & Ride - 20th June 2021
(17 May 2021, 5:07 am)Dan My own thoughts are that there’s probably nothing preventing the NEBPT from being able to run the shuttle services themselves, but it’s probably a matter of preference.That sounds like a good idea mainly the only bus route to the rally site is the 6
Covid-19 remains a big risk to a lot of vulnerable people - not everyone has had their second jab (some haven’t even had their first) and although given the age group of most enthusiasts who own preserved buses, you’d expect that they’d have had their vaccine by now, they may still have vulnerable people in their family and consider this to be an unnecessary risk.
After the year we’ve had, it’s good to see outside events returning and I think not having any kind of shuttle service would result in this being a gross waste of time. I’m off work this week, but when I return next Monday, I’ll get in touch with the NEBPT and advise that Go North East will be more than happy to accommodate running a shuttle service. All the Covid-19 prevention measures will be in place on board (side and rear facing seats out of use as per current guidance, windows open for ventilation, hand sanitiser available, etc).
