We have to give them props especially for the Metrocentre rally. Was talking to one of the staff members at Whitley Bay and he said it took quite a bit of talking with the new people who own the Metrocentre to have the event there

I just hope this isn't an issue for next year's event there as there was back in 2017 where it was moved out of the Metrocentre

Granted we have to give them a thanks. The North East has what a total of 7 rallys

5 by the nebpt (Metrocentre, Durham, Whitley Bay, Bishop Auckland & Seaburn)

1 by the 500 group at Middlesbrough & 1 by the Aycliffe at Shildon

More of the events are the Festival of Transport which if I remember correctly was now gonna be held by the Northern National Restoration Group somewhere in Durham

Plus you have to remember the fact Go North East Stagecoach and Arriva are not allowed to bring a ton of buses due to complain of to "newer" vehicles
