2 maybe jh ran more shuttle cause they have "low floor buses to make it easier for more passengers " but no as per we put the blame game on the organiser event. No wonder Metrocentre probably won't happen next year. Neither will any event. Never seen so much hate directed towards a small organisation who runs rallys for the people to see. Only for the higer ups to go complain. Organiser a rally yourself. Its probably harder than any of us thought. Idk how hard it is but you all seem to complain left right and centre. I'm guessing we are all gonna complete forget that a woman in a high vi's yesterday working the X50 completely ruined it for everyone (or are we gonna defend her for shouting at a gne driver)

The blame lies squarely at the feet of the NEBPT, if the organisation of the event is a complete shambles, which it is usually. Playing the 'if you think you can do better, then organise it yourself' card doesn't wash, I'm afraid. It is their event and they have the authority over what transpires. If preservationists don't want to do runs up to Beamish, then that's fine, the event organiser can instruct them to park where the static displays are parked. If the same preservationists (or operators- not to leave them out of this) only want to do private runs to impress their ghoulish sycophantic acolytes, the organiser can exert their authority to prevent this from happening by explaining that once they leave the site, they cannot return. It is well within the remit of the organiser to do this as they are responsible for health and safety on site for the day.
