Hello.
This event was marred last year by poor organization. This year I have been assured that a team will be on hand to supervise the bus service and parking.
With this in mind I will again put FTN 710W forward to do 2 runs on the service.

Just it looked like the best preserved bus I have EVER seen but I couldn't get a proper look

(08 May 2016, 8:47 am)NK53 TKT If there was only preserved buses I wouldn't attend, Arriva's presence along with GNE makes me want to come

(08 May 2016, 12:45 pm)Adrian That's not what the comment is about. NK53 TKT is one of the younger members of the site, and as such, probably doesn't have any connection with the preserved vehicles we have. It's not a case of being disrespectful, but more so down to appeal. Each to their own, isn't it?

Sadly won't be able to make this. Forgot I was already fully booked to be travelling around Spain. Was looking forward to attending this one actually.
Hello.
This event had lots of trouble last year due to no communication between the parking marshals and the bus owners who were doing the shuttle runs.
This year I have been assured that this problem has been sorted out. So The Northern National Restoration Group will not only be bringing FTN 708W, FTN 710W and R855 PRG but both FTN 710W and R855 PRG will be doing the shuttle runs.
We will be doing 2 each with each bus. 4710 4855 4710 4855. Drivers for the day are Ian and myself.
