Go North East's surprise of the day was of course open-top Volvo B7 6000. It didn't half turn a few heads! Glad you all enjoyed it - the trip out to Yarm was good for it to stretch its legs.

I think the run down the A19 was enough of a  leg stretch, especially with its surprisingly high top speed.

Really enjoyable day, and one with the sun on our side.
The trip to Yarm and back on 6000 was really good. The air conditioning works superbly upstairs! haha

It was. Thank you to Everyone that got involved with the Arriva bits. Quite enjoyed that! Sorry for not being able to take part in the shuttle. There is far too much red tape insurance wise involved. However we do have a plan for next year.

Bigger and better again next year. I may get a few depots involved next year.

Loved the rally got to sit in the cab of 396,7401 & 1922 and even got to start 1922 up, turn the I idicator's, turn the wipers on, turn the screen wash on & change the display board
So a huge thank you to the Arriva drivers and EYMS driver who made thus possible
