I also enjoyed today. I arrived with Adrian and MurdnunoC and met with Dan at the south of the Transporter Bridge where vehicles were assembled. We enjoyed a journey to Middlesbrough and back on Stagecarriage's R833OVN (ex-Stagecoach 16833), returning just after 11am. We then acquired some tickets for the coach excursion in the afternoon as well as a programme. Sean, Jimmi, Adrian and myself took a trip to Yarm on MCW Metrobus 3501 (UTN501Y), which was fantastic, but they bailed at Stockton High Street on the return journey. I got back to the Transporter at about 1340, giving me 25 minutes to kill before the Dewsbury Bus Museum's Royal Tiger Doyen departed with the excursion to Great Ayton and Stokesley, in the company of Dan and MurdnunoC; a world away from the industrial Teesside many of us are accustomed to. Following this, I took a trip to Stockton High Street on United Bristol RE 6080 (SHN80L), which sounded amazing. A brief wait at Stockton ensued until the ex-Magic Bus Dennis Dominator, H132GVM, picked up a small load and returned to the Transporter, at which point I called it a day.

Well organised and enough to keep me occupied, as well as five winners for haulage and some good photos, I'll be there next year.
