Probably be next week now.

It has Mobitec destinations which we can't programme locally. McKenna Brothers have to do it for us.

I reckon Washington for the 82/82A/85/86.

As Dan said in the Scarborough BusFest 2016 thread:

"There's going to be an event a little bit more local (details yet to be confirmed) on this day, so I think I'll have to give Scarborough a miss this year. I'm sure the more local event will be a lot of fun, so those of you that can't go to Scarborough will have another option!" - http://www.northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/sh...p?tid=1773&pid=165197#pid165197

It's something I know a lot of you have been waiting on for quite some time, and it's a really good opportunity to see some of the things that go on behind the scenes.

I'm sure a number of you will find the tour of the Service Performance Team's control room really interesting - the more tech-savvy members of the forum will love the amount of IT equipment in there!

Hopefully I'll see some of you there?  Smile

1) the ventures
2) sunderland connect
3) lampton worm
4) 82/85/86
