Information on Buses at Beamish
At Beamish Museum
This event celebrates the opening of the 1950’s town and Bus Depot.
There will be classic buses in service, linking the 1913 and 1950’s towns.
This event is supported by NEBPT and Go North East
Admission charges apply for entry to Beamish Museum.
Interesting that a page has now been set up on the nebpt website. More than likely we can view what will turn up. Beamish will more likely do the same like last year

Yes could be some interesting scenes in Chester as the general public witness Beamish/NEBPT running a more reliable service than GNE!

Well I think we can safely say bus enthusiasts can run bus services more reliably than the bus companies themselves!
