It's always a good day out on Bank Holiday weekend, and the weather tends to be spot on too!Looking at the list of potential attendees, there is some stuff going that hasn't been at the other North East rallies this year (although some attended last year). Quite looking forward to seeing the London & Country Leyland National as that's something I haven't seen before.
NEBPT have published an entry list for the event (so far), although it is of course subject to change - http://www.nebpt.co.uk/events/pg3ev588.html

Hopefully it'll attend either way

Looking mighty fine too

Will probably try and chase this down again on the 21 when I'm in Blackpool next Saturday.

Thought they had gone before then to be honest.
There must have just been a couple kicking around.
(28 Aug 2016, 6:34 pm)GMitchelhill wrote Yeah they had a pair of Alexander (3528 / 3530 IIRC) and a pair of ECW (3538 / 3540) Atlanteans. The Alexanders were withdrawn first in 2000. The ECW examples lasted until 2002 because they had extra luggage racks for DFDS services.
