I was at the event today and had a good time. Was able to ride all of the buses I wanted as the shuttle runs were regular. Was particularly pleased to get the Blackpool Transport Olympian 377 (M377 SCK).
however was a shame to see no Arriva presence, hopefully whatever the issue is can be sorted for future events. Space could also have been used better particularly at the Go North East part.
