It's a window of opportunity I've managed to miss at previous 500 Group Running Days I've attended.

tomorrow.
Like last year, I will try and post what is in attendance as they arrive - plus what vehicles will operate what runs. Might be handy to plan your day then ?
Of course, programmes will be for sale from the Control Vehicle at the Transporter site.

Fantastic day out today. Think everyone heard me a mile off, with the coughing and spluttering (apologies!) Always think that the 500 Group Running Day is one of the best organised, and most enjoyable, events in the North East. You're never standing around too long before the next bus is there to take you on another journey, and there's always a great variety of buses in attendance.
Thanks to everyone who brought a bus or contributed to the rally today. Let's see how Spillers Wharf compares next week!

I was really impressed again, and in my opinion, the 500 group's organisation is second to none. Any timetable changes appeared minimal, but completely outside of the group's control, and there was a real variety of buses that turned up to do runs out. I particularly enjoyed my trips out on UTN501Y and B251NVN. I had wanted a ride out on HPK507N, but this had proved to be a real hit. I don't think a single run went out with an empty seat!
It is perhaps a credit to the group and their organisation, that this event seems to constantly attract entrants from outside the North East. Which is something I find few and far between at other NE rallies.
So a big thanks to the 500 Group for a fantastic day out, and of course to the preservationists that supported and allowed us to ride on their fantastic buses.
