I think, disregarding the amount of traffic, the main drawback with the shuttle route in Durham was that the return journey was rather challenging for some vehicles. We caught the green "Stockton" decker from North Road back to Howlands and it really stunk of burning oil by the time we reached the top. It explained to Big'un why there were watering cans on board, mind!

I get the impression the 'old order' of organisational teams are anti-change. Keeping a rally in the same format/location purely because 'it's been like that for years' isn't really a good reason. There's an argument to be had that the more events there is may dilute the quality of each one; a time may come to bite the bullet and it's decided to disband one or two of the small events plagued with operational issues in favour of a new event which is planned to be big from the beginning.
