Overall, I quite enjoyed today. Thanks to everyone who brought a bus!

Dare say it was not as well organised as last week's rally, and I can't say I was a fan of the 30-minute frequency timetable. Seemed to be more Go North East buses doing runs than preserved ones? Things seemed to get a bit slacker in the afternoon, though by this point a large number of people had already left.

Obtaining photographs was a bit naff until 12:00 - buses parked far too closely together (despite there being absolutely tonnes of space!) I struggled to photograph anything on the eastern section of the site as the buses were parked close together and they were parked too close to the stalls.

It seemed awfully quiet by 14:00, but it was still booming at this point at the Metrocentre. Hopefully a few lessons learnt from today for improvements next year?
