Whitley Bay Bus Rally - Jimmi - 04 Jul 2015

Unsure whether to go or not, especially as it looks like I will have to use normal service buses and will take me over 3 hours to get there.

I'll set my alarm for tomorrow morning and see how I feel when I wake up.

Bazza, what the hell are you going on about?


Whitley Bay Bus Rally - Jimmi - 05 Jul 2015

I will be attending today and I am about to leave the house.

I should be there around 1145.


RE: Whitley Bay Bus Rally - LeeCalder - 05 Jul 2015

I'm currently on the 08:43 #21 from Barley Mow to Newcastle. If, anyone is on this bus that is attending the rally, I'm wearing blue Addidas training pants, a black polo and sunglasses.

Going early are you I'm not leaving for 50 minutes.

Dan. It takes 30 mins on the 21, then a 15 minute wait for the 308 which takes roughly 40 mins.

Work it out, it's not hard.

Lucky if I get there before 12. Haven't found the energy to be able to move yet. Tongue

For me its 16 mins on the Metro and 64 mins on the Coaster.

Can't decide which is worse!

I'll be travelling in style if I do go - on one of Percy Main's finest Volvo B9TLs...

Or you just stay on the Metro, or change at Monument. Get off at Monkseaton.

0926 wait in Durham (19 minutes)
0945 21 Durham - Newcastle (60 minutes)
1045 wait in Newcastle (22 minutes)
1107 308 Newcastle - Rally (40 minutes)

Maybe because we discussed it on YOUR group.

No....been busy, you know all the work I do on a Sunday morning!


Whitley Bay Bus Rally - Jimmi - 05 Jul 2015

I have decided to get the X22 to the MetroCentre then the first bus to Newcastle rather than spend a boring hour on the 21.

This decision is either sheer genius or sheer stupidly.

I feel sorry for you being on an Omnicity for that long. They are way too hot.


RE: Whitley Bay Bus Rally - S813 FVK - 05 Jul 2015

At least with this rally, nobody seems to live too close to it so what vehicles are there that are not listed on the NEBPT website (i.e. GNE, SNE etc) remain a surprise!

Likewise!
Will go later on I think if I can be bothered. It was dreadful last year.

I went once and it was horrible - haven't been since. Same goes for the Howlands rally. Too small and hardly owt there. Disappointing.
