That would have been myself Ben i drove the majority and my friend Jak drove the rest. It was my first year as a driver to the Metrocentre Show. I did bring 5288 from Stanley & 5221 from Riverside after arriving at the coach park. It was nice to meet a few forum members. For ones that didn't know/don't know who i was i was wearing the orange hi-viz with Go North East on. I picked up onna few points that some enthusiasts would have liked some buses on shuttles that didn't move at all. If any of these were GNE vehicles please do ask one of us and we would have been happy to assist in operating a shuttle with a vehicle you all wanted. I am aware that the Renown,Vyking & both Scania's didn't do any shuttles and there was a reason for one of those not doing one but the other 3 i felt many would have had rides on them numerous times so would not really need a shuttle with the said buses. Anyway was a good day in my eyes and nice seeing the ones i saw.

Till next time!
