I'm hoping Go North East bring a couple, John thinks they will. As well as this, I really do hope Arriva bring something as they are always some of the most welcoming at the rally with letting people onto the buses and having a play with the destination blinds etc. I hope one arsehole hasn't ruined it for everyone else at not only this rally but future rally's also.

Think the next time Arriva will attend a rally is metrocenter 2016. Congratulations to the culprit. I would like to know why my post about it had been deleted.

(22 Jun 2015, 5:36 pm)Jimmi wrote Well the earliest I can get to Whitley Bay is around 1150!

If it's before that I can probably arrange for someone I know to give me a lift into Bishop or get a taxi.
