One thing to consider about modern buses being in attendance at some of these rallies, sometimes they have to be there, supposedly the Howlands rally is supported by Durham County Council and one of the conditions of this event being held is that a number of the shuttles need to be provided by low floor wheelchair accessible buses, most of the trips this year were either operated by a low floor bus on it's own or as a dupe for a step entrance bus with these low floor buses mostly being provided by GNE, independents like A-line, Stanley Travel and The Eden and some of the more recent stuff on the preserved scene that is low floor.

The rally scene round here is on thin ice, if the comments about modern buses being in attendance don't put off driver's and owners from taking buses, then stuff like buses being entered without permission will.
