Catch a train to Darlington and then Northern Rail to Shildon. It is 5 minutes away.
And it shouldn't cost anymore than £10
Tom do you live in Wallsend? If so I had a quick look on Traveline at just buses and it's suggesting a bus to Newcastle, 21 to Durham then either the 6/X21 to Bishop Auckland then from Bishop you can get the 1B/5A or train. Takes roughly 2 hours, 45 minutes which is quite awhile I admit.
If anyone needs help with how to get to this rally including where to get off the 1B/5A in Shildon feel free to ask me although I'd suggest asking closer to the time.
There is usually a few buses there but not large amounts there but there is probably enough. There was loads of stalls selling models and such so if anyone is into buying anything like that this should be good.
