(12 Mar 2015, 8:55 pm)aureolin ffs manB10s are great buses, but the VR would beast it any day of the week.

(12 Mar 2015, 9:00 pm)MurdnunoC The B10 has no character. It's generic-looking like most other buses on the roads today. The VR has something about it that the B10 will never have.

(12 Mar 2015, 9:01 pm)MarcTheA4 Never rode one sadly. A few preserved vehicles I'd pay good money to ride are;
• A Bristol VR - I hear they're quite good vehicles. What were they used on out of interest?
• A Leyland National - 4710's next preserved run would be a great chance.
• A Leyland Atlantean - Heard mixed reviews of them, but I'd like to have a ride for myself.

Thing that puts me off going to these preservation runs is the fact that it seems to be mainly older enthusiasts who commandeer the back. I would feel quite uncomfortable.
But, that said, I would walk the Sahara Desert for a ride on one of the old legends.

(12 Mar 2015, 9:06 pm)aureolin All being well, the 500 Group have said on their Facebook that their Northern Counties bodied Bristol VRT (RDC106R) will make an appearance at their annual running day.
You should get yourself along

(12 Mar 2015, 9:21 pm)MurdnunoC Sit somewhere else then. I believe other seats are available
But in all seriousness, everybody's there for the same reason so there's no need to feel uncomfortable. It's not like people are trying to relive their school days on the buses, sitting up-stairs and smoking at the back.

(12 Mar 2015, 9:50 pm)aureolin I'll be heading down for it. Not really spoken to anyone else yet, but you're more than welcome to come down with me and whoever else?
I didn't know anyone when I went down the Tees open day at Stagecoach last year, but ended up getting on the same X10 as Malarkey. Dan ended up getting on at Peterlee too, so there was a few of us at least!
But as Adam said - everyone is there for the same reason. I think it's just natural that people head to the back, as you feel the full force of the engine roar!
Just be easier to know in advance...it's Monday and back to school the day after haha.

(12 Mar 2015, 10:08 pm)aureolin It's on a Sunday. So would be a case of getting an early X10 from Gateshead or Heworth and working it out from then.
