Durham Father's Day Rally - Howlands Park & Ride - 20th June 2021
Durham Father's Day Rally - Howlands Park & Ride - 20th June 2021
Next Sunday is the first North East bus rally since Seaburn of 2019.
I doubt the 500 group will be there as there website says they aren't attending any rally due to the current restrictions (21st June)
Still no entries on the Nebpt page and no timetable has been shown for the Routemaster trip.
This has happened only once before at Whitly Bay 2018 where the buses and timetable weren't up on the website till the day of the rally

I hope we get some entire soon. Tbh Bishop Auckland 2019 had 7 buses enterd but more turned up
(14 Jun 2021, 6:28 pm)Charles41 Very worrying they should have a list up by now and also a timetable for the shuttle.
I hope this is not going to be a repeat of the farcestival sorry festival of transport in 2019. One bus in the middle of a field.

I'm sure I still have the photo somewhere! Think they also still tried to charge people to enter said field as well! To be fair, the following year was much better.

Update from NEBPT
NEBPT is pleased to confirm that the Durham Vintage Bus Rally will still be taking place at Howlands Park & Ride on Sunday 20th June.
Due to current restrictions, the usual shuttle service into Durham City using display vehicles will not be operating, but Go North East will be kindly providing a shuttle service into Durham with two preserved Routemasters.
Northern General 2099 (on loan from NEBPT) and London Transport open-top RMC 1510 will hopefully be providing the shuttle service.
Sales stands will be in attendance and there will also be refreshments available on site.
Please observe all instructions and maintain any required social distancing on the day.
So here's a few buses I think Go North East might bring to the rally.
6101 (fresh repaint)
An X Lines bus
A 2019 corp bus
An Angel (possibly)
A Voyger (possible)
Might also sent the london electric if they can find a suitable charger

Aha that would be nice to see at the rally
Was gonna say 8319 Northern Versa would be there but more likely on B1
Go North East Confirmed what time the buses are running and what stand the bus will depart (Stand M)

That's true. I'm very surprised that nothing is on there website
Hopefully it's a good turn out. But I doubt it. Rally in the Ne seem to get smaller each time. With Whitly Bay of 2017 being the smallest yet. Durham isn't that big.
I wonder if there was another "bigger" park&Ride site in Durham for them to hold it
(17 Jun 2021, 6:39 pm)Charles41 Checked out their FB page. Shuttle buses are every half hour. Still no mention of which vehicles have been entered though.Last time this happened was Whitly Bay 2018. There were posted at 9am of the rally date. Latest I can remember is usually two days before or a day before. So hopefully tomorrow or Saturday we see what's been entered

I've always dreamed of having my own bus. And yea I remember the festival of transport event. Wasn't the best but it was it's first year. Then again nebpt had Bishop Auckland which I thought was fantastic
