The NNRG vehicles looked excellent as always. Hopefully they'll be a better turnout on Sunday. Perhaps if the NEBPT organise such events they might like to bring some buses in future other than the static routemaster.

On a good note I got some good photos of coaches carrying Celtic fans and caught the gas double decker home. Five nil come on.

Yes, and I thought they'd have had a lot more of their own stuff there today. I know it is a 'See It Do It' event strictly speaking, but NEBPT seem to have been doing the pushing for it...

I was going to go along today, but I am glad I checked with others prior to setting off. I feel sorry for the owners that have went along today to be sat by themselves, and I do hope that more buses get along there tomorrow to support. Otherwise what was promised to be "what we've wanted for years", will have become the biggest flop in years. 

I do appreciate that this was a 'transport' event and not a 'buses' event, but I hear the turnout was actually low across the board?
