Stagecoach normally only seem to attend the Teesside Running Day although I believe they made an appearance at Seaburn last year.

In the last four years at least, this year's Teesside Running Day was the first time I saw all of the big 3 attend the same rally.

The reason for arrivas absence this year was because the vast majority the drivers that usually bring arrivas presence were also absent due to work commitments!

Last year it was health and safety. This year it was more the fact no one asked because they were working! See you at Durham hopefully!
