Will 7401 be available to look around at the rally?

Let me get this correct
Is this an actual rally like the Howlands P+R one Or is it riding about on old buses. The description weren’t very clear |

"Running Day" should answer your question.

Good turnout today, had a great time as usual.
Go North East's surprise of the day was of course open-top Volvo B7 6000. It didn't half turn a few heads! Glad you all enjoyed it - the trip out to Yarm was good for it to stretch its legs. |

Now I've recovered...……
Apart from one vehicle cancelling at the last minute (The Bournemouth Corporation Tiger Cub for anyone who purchased a program), the turnout was complete. In terms of routes operated, apart from a few swap rounds early in the day due to late arrivals, no runs were lost this year..... However, issues with H106 did result in a few problems before its trip over the Transporter itself did cause us some issues - so anyone at the Metrocentre next Sunday, the 500 Group might end up turning up with 99.... And now we can begin planning the 2020 event...…. |

Excellent turn out although a lot of people started to disappear around 1pm such as me as I wanted to get back home and watch the Manchester United vs Chelsea game. 6000 was my favourite of the day despite looking forward to seeing the OK Travel Coach and the United ECW Olympian. |

Really enjoyable day, and one with the sun on our side.
The trip to Yarm and back on 6000 was really good. The air conditioning works superbly upstairs! haha

Sorry for not being able to take part in the shuttle. There is far too much red tape insurance wise involved. However we do have a plan for next year. Bigger and better again next year. I may get a few depots involved next year. |

Loved the rally got to sit in the cab of 396,7401 & 1922 and even got to start 1922 up, turn the I idicator's, turn the wipers on, turn the screen wash on & change the display board So a huge thank you to the Arriva drivers and EYMS driver who made thus possible |
