Seaburn Bus Rally

[R852 PRG]

Hope to see a few of our members at the rally tomorrow. Don't forget, the event starts at 10:00 in the morning and admission charges are £3 for an adult; £2 for a child. The first bus to depart on shuttles leave the site at 11:00, and they run every half an hour from then on.

If it's £3 for adults and £2 for kids, how much will Geoff need to pay?

Nothing if he's going in November.

[MurdnunoC]

Ah, so Geoff was right. The rally is in November is it? What time?

[DanPicken]

Its not November.

[Michael]

............

[MurdnunoC]

Its not November.

I know, it's August. November comes after September and October (in that order), so it's just over two months away by my calculation. It also comes before December. After December, a new year begins! Because it is now 2015, I'm guessing next year will be 2016.

I don't know, I hear the NEBPT are a bit strict on what is allowed out on shuttles. You're either told if you're going out or not and if you miss your slot...

Isn't that what happened at Durham 4710 was supposed to go out 3 times and only went once which I missed as I was on the Prison Tour which no one told people about.

No, 4710 got trapped in because of the poor organisational skills.

Oh, Howlands was orginised quite badly needs to be somewher bigger.

[Adrian]

I don't think Howlands was poorly organised.

I just think that it was a case of too many people trying to be in charge. At one point, there was someone trying to guide a P&R Solo into a 3 point turn. In the process he nearly organised an accident involving a group of enthusiasts, and almost guided the Solo into one of the preserved buses.

Space is tight at Howlands at the best of times. At least in the area that they were using. Given that the P&R sites don't operate on a Sunday, perhaps Sniperley would be a better venue for next year? Loads of space, and even better, the horse shoe parking bay shape is in the perfect place for the sun.

I don't even think it was the case of too many people trying to be in charge. As you point out, I think it was a case of too many buses being confined to such a small area which made manoeuvring a logistical nightmare. Organisational-wise, I don't think it was any different to any other event I've attended although, admittedly, I'm not there taking notes on the matter. Buses appeared and people showed up to view and take photographs. It did exactly what it said on the tin.

I've never attended the one in Seaburn before, what's the space like compared to Howlands?

I've been told by a GNE driver that the chances of them turning up tomorrow are currently 0%....

Oh well, not going anyway, my knee has got worse over the last few days so not risking it!

[Adrian]

Don't believe everything you hear mate. I'm not sure why a company the size of GNE would run every decision by the driving staff...

[Rapidsnap]

I will be a Seaburn tomorrow. Will be turning up early on, but will be gone by 1pm as some of us do have to go and work. I will be wearing one of my many pony shirts. Which one I have yet to decide.

[Jimmi]

I'll be popping up sometime just after 11, as that's the earliest I can get there.

I'll be on the 0944 20 from Durham.
