Will the whole of the Riverside parking area be devoted to the rally, or will there be space for cars?

If parking elsewhere, what access is there to the rally area? ie crossing the railway.

Is there a courtesy bus running from nominated points direct into the rally site?

(02 May 2015, 2:24 pm)aureolin wrote I'd suggest the blue multi story. Because when you enter at mall level from that car park, you just need to turn right and head for the transport interchange, and then over the bridge.

• Providing that neither 5401 nor 5419 are required to cover for branded vehicles on "Coast & Country" services 8/78 or "Red Kite" services 45/46, the Monday - Friday operation of service X43 will now be operated by a corporate liveried Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid.
  
• Providing that neither 5401 nor 5419 are required to cover for branded vehicles on "Coast & Country" services 8/78 or "Red Kite" services 45/46, the Saturday operation of service 128 will now be operated by a corporate liveried Wright Streetlite DF/Wright Streetlite Micro-Hybrid.

• Stanley-based Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 4904 (W904 RBB) has transferred to Deptford, allowing DAF SB120/Wright Cadet 8273 (NK54 NLD) to transfer to Riverside. The latter will transfer to Hexham shortly, as a replacement for DAF SB120/Wright Cadet 8244 (NA52 BUW) which will be withdrawn. 8242 (NA52 BUU) will also be withdrawn as a result of the entry into service of the Streetlites on service X66, though both will remain in use when required.
  
• Chester-le-Street based "Northern" branded Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renown 4843 (R843 PRG) and "Lime" branded 4853 (R853 PRG), 4854 (R854 PRG) and 4855 (R855 PRG) have all been withdrawn.

Which other B10's have being withdrawn along with the 3 remaining branded Limes?

(03 May 2015, 10:49 am)Robert wrote Im guessing 4847 since the 128 will be operated by a Corporate liveried streetlite.
