The Newcastle one is excellent - I did it last year.  It uses the Aycliffe red Bristol L and had live narration with someone from Newcastle Council who clearly knew their stuff.  The Sunderland one uses one of the NEBPT vehicles but is a full day and I've never sampled that one.

NNRG are planning a road run from Chester LE Street to Bishop Auckland to commemorate the closing of the Crook outstation. This will leave Chester LE Street front street at 2.00 on the 22nd of September. As will every run no unaccompanied under 16's please.

This will be a simple out and back trip using one of the NNRG's Volvo B10BLE's. Photo stops at Spennymoor on the way out and Chester LE Street Burns on return.

We will leave at 2.00 prompt and to be back around 4.30-5.00.

Anyone who is wanting to come along with us please email me at nnrg@btinternet.com

Thanks.

Who is going to be attending the Scania L94 farewell event at Saltmeadows Road this coming Sunday?

The NNRG will not be bringing 5217 or any other bus. We might be turning up for a run out tho.

If I had a pound for every time I've heard a TransPennine service has been cancelled in the last month or so, I would have enough to go away somewhere for the night, maybe two at a push. Being kept awake at night wondering when I will receive my Delay Repay claims.

Details of this year's rallies have gone up on the NEBPT website.  Looks like the NE Festival of Transport at Seaburn is defunct, though the Sunderland and District Classic Vehicle Society and NNRG are running a similarly named event in Durham County Hall car park.

What does SDO stand for please. I for one will attend this new event.

Sorry meant Sunderland and District Classic Vehicle Society - have edited original post now

There's been an annual classic vehicle rally at County Hall for a while, so it will be interesting to see if they've expanded the scope (we live a 10 minute walk away)

I think it probably fair to say the chances of any events happening this year are now very slim. Think it will be next summer at the earliest now.

North East Bus Presvation Trust website news says Bus Rally date for this year will be decided once social distance and restrictions are lifted

The NNRG are due to have a depot open day at Philadelphia as soon as restrictions are lifted. Also we are hoping to have a event at our depot around the same time with other preserved buses attending. More info will be posed near the time.

Sounds very nice. I'll happily attend that event

Seems like a stupid question. But what does strict covid restrictions mean

Good question. I assume it just means it's Covid secure. Requires clarification though!

Wonder if it will be the 2 meter rule and face maskes or something like that. Or a certain amount of people are allowed
