Seaburn 2024 - idiot - 26 Aug 2024

I loved looking through the photos.

It's a shame that it's been tarred with reports on social media.

Link isn't working for me - what is social media saying?  Don't think there was any trouble?

Apart from the Busways display from Stagecoach it was a bit underwhelming again for me, particularly in terms of NEBPT own stuff, only 669 in attendance.  Again most of the runs being done by 669 plus various current/recent service vehicles from JH and Aline, though a couple of the older guest vehicles did a run.  GNE notably absent as might be expected given what happened at Metrocentre rally.

Unfortunately the post has been removed. It was reported that a driver is on bail and shouldn't be on social media or with anyone under 16.

I was going to come along today but something more important cropped up. Sounds like I didn't miss much and sounds disappointing like last year's display.

It's nothing without the airshow

KBB 118D, FBR 53D & JJD 530D were meant to be in attendance but unfortunately no drivers available for it

Dont think they did, due to all the road closures on sea front when airshow was on


RE: Seaburn 2024 - Unber43 - 11 Sep 2024

They used to be, it was when South Tyne SPD's, old Stagecoach Olympians etc

We are talking 2010-2014

Fairly certain this is not the case, Seaburn Rally has always been Aug bank holiday and Airshow was late July.  Quick google and this http://nebpt.co.uk/events/events_archive/pg4.html confirms that's the case for the years quoted.
