Here's my thoughts on the rally:
Positive:
Good turnout of vehicles. Leyland National 4855 was my favourite.
Good weather.
Interesting variety of vehicles on the shuttle bus.
Visited lots of non-psv operators nearby.
Good stands got some great historic bus timetables
Negative:
Lack of a brochure and published timetable for the event.
No officials around and no publicity at North Road Durham. Wouldn't have known the event was on if i just been a casual visitor to the city.
Vehicle parking could have been better.
What made me laugh:
Cling ons from the Haymarket corner standing on the corner at the rally.
Verdict:
An OK day but organisation and planning can be improved. Will try Whitley Bay next month.
