Until you get rid of this mentality, events up here are never going to progress both into something bigger and with the times. Whether some people like it or not, a lot of the younger enthusiasts go to these events to see Go North East and Arriva buses, as it's their only real chance to 'explore' them, due to their age.

I really hope that no one from Go North East or Arriva looks at this kind of comment, and takes the same mentality as the poster highlighted on my screenshot. 

The "I'm taking my ball back and going home" attitude is best left in the playground, and people should start acting their age.

What was the rally marketed as? A classic rally or a bus rally?
I know what I like to see at a rally and (without condoning or agreeing with what has been said) it seems Mr Scarlett likes a certain type of vehicle too.
Some don't and prefer to see modern stuff.

I do think the big operators sending their vehicles along to events like this could be seen as a cheap PR exercise - in addition to any good they bring to the rally or restoration scene.
