Go north east should prehaps try doing yearly open days like lothian and Stagecoach C&NL. They could do it sometime during the summer and have a mix of modern and preserved buses. The event will be held at riverside depot.
At the events all modern viechle on display will be open to look around however the preserved ones are only to be opened when the owner wants them to be.
The modern buses will include buses from all 5 gne depots but EYMS and HNW
The activities will include bus wash rides on the Modern viechles and also getting your name put on the display boards of the modern viechles
Would be a great day in my opinion.
A shuttle will operate between The depot and Gateshead interchange every half hour
One shuttle an hour will be operated by a modern viechle and the other a preserved viechle
Go north east has done this before for Riverside opening but it woukd br great to try this again on a yearly basis.
