I was really impressed again, and in my opinion, the 500 group's organisation is second to none. Any timetable changes appeared minimal, but completely outside of the group's control, and there was a real variety of buses that turned up to do runs out. I particularly enjoyed my trips out on UTN501Y and B251NVN. I had wanted a ride out on HPK507N, but this had proved to be a real hit. I don't think a single run went out with an empty seat!

It is perhaps a credit to the group and their organisation, that this event seems to constantly attract entrants from outside the North East. Which is something I find few and far between at other NE rallies.

So a big thanks to the 500 Group for a fantastic day out, and of course to the preservationists that supported and allowed us to ride on their fantastic buses.

BIB: The only run I saw it do that it wasn't fully loaded - and that was the last one at 1600.
