(31 Jan 2015, 10:58 pm)RGR756V wrote To let you all know I am once again organising a bus trip to Kirkby Stephen for the excellent rally on Easter Sunday (5 April).Will certain enthusiasts need reminding of what time 1630 is, do you think?
The haulage will be H728DDL, a superb all-Leyland Olympian operated by Stagecarriage.
Fare is £10 per person, no need to book just turn up.
Departure points and times are; Middlesbrough, BBC 0850, Stagecoach Transit depot 0900, Stockton Stagecoach Office 0910, Darlington Rail Station, Park Lane 0930, Shildon Byerley Road 0950, Bishop Auckland Market Place 1000.
Connections will be made at Darlington with the 0855 train from Newcastle.
Returning from Kirkby at 1630. Send me a PM if you need any more info.
I remember the connection at Bishop Auckland being quite tight as a result of the hoo-harr with waiting for one enthusiast to show up at the end, but I managed to catch the X21 as we stopped in the bus station on the return journey - wasn't keen on having to use the stop near the Market Place as I haven't used it before. Can this be organised again if necessary - saves the walk from the Market Place? I will have about half an hour in Bishop Auckland on the morning, so Market Place is good for then.
