I think the opposite, I'm not as intrested in the stuff Arriva and GNE bring along, but it is nice to see them in attendance though, along with the independents as well. Although some of the preserved buses are double my age (I'm 22) I do really enjoy riding the stuff in preservation, just as it feels so much different in my opinion to the stuff we've got on the roads today, possibly my favourite ride last year was the Northumbria Optare Delta possibly because I had Optare Deltas on my local routes growing up, in fact I remember riding a Delta with the Northumbria seats in service on service 15 between Chilton and Aycliffe one day, no idea how old I was at the time. At the Kirkby Stephen rally the other week there was stuff in attendance that were new in the 1950/1960's so it's amazing to see these running around at these events, just goes to show how much care and effort goes into keeping these on the road for people to see and ride on.
