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.

Me and a few people I know kept getting asked where the buses where leaving from and how often they were running whilst we were stood on North Road in Durham and the bad thing about that was we were under the impression that a 10 minute frequency was being observed as that's what it stated online, when in actual fact it was a 15 minute frequency although we were basically telling people it was 10 minutes but who knows when one will ACTUALLY appear.
