They all used to assemble at Chester le Street Civic Centre, for a rest - no idea what happens now the civic centre has gone.
There has often been old school buses there such as the United 'Aidensfield' bus (I need to remember the vehicle type) and ex Newcastle Corporation and TWPTE deckers, however I have no idea if they were in attendance this year - as I wasn't on the route at any point today.
This is the Aidensfield bus. Bristol summat or other, I think
Would have been a nice trip out with the boys, but 2 of us were knackered after yesterday.
