The 500 Group don't own their own site - the vehicles are stored within the shed known as Flowers within the Stagecoach Stockton depot on Portrack Lane. Unfortunately due to the many Health and Safety rules, visits to the vehicles aren't permitted apart from a select group of members who are in charge of maintaining the vehicles (certain circumstances for other members do apply - I myself have assisted in preparing the vehicles for the Open Day back in 2014).
RE: Teesside 500 Group
A better idea Lollist is to find an exsisting MAN / ALX300 in service, their interior will be exactly the same as was 22061 was.

Thanks.
Due to ongoing work at the Transporter and the facilities closed down, we can't hold the event in its usual location. Attempts have been made to try and work out an alternative venue but at present, nobody has thought of anywhere suitable.
RE: Teesside 500 Group
I think Seaton Carew has been mentioned here as a possible alternative venue. There's quite a lot of space in the car park next to the golf club there. https://maps.app.goo.gl/V4cGoNPZqm5ausio7
