If they are not running a shuttle they need to be highlghting relevant transport links to the rally site. Given that Durham bus station is currently closed they should also be letting people know where these transport links depart from.

It's details like this that are so important to a rally being successful.

I also would like to know what restrictions stop the shuttle service from running.

I'm not sure what guidance it falls under. It shouldn't fall under public transport, because its not operated formally by a licenced operator. It's more likely to fall under 'car sharing' or taxi/private hire. Car sharing and sharing a taxi/private hire vehicle with those outside your household is prohibited for now, but unsure what the position is after May. 

I agree on the details point, but sadly NEBPT can be really poor at this. For example, the rally was posted to Facebook two days ago, yet it's still not on the website nor have they emailed members to make them aware. That is just as basic as including directions on how to get there.

I think its good to see something put on, but I don't think I'll be bothering with this. NEBPT stewards tend to like cramming everything into a quarter of the rally site, so its near on impossible to get a decent photo when there's going to be nothing moving about.
