(04 Mar 2013, 2:40 pm)Dan wrote An Enthusiasts Tour of Weardale Motor Services has been planned. The provisional itinerary is given below. Though brief, it does sound like a brilliant day and it would be a great shame to miss it. I should be there, and I hope I can persuade one or two of you to go too!
- The event will be on March 23 2013, picking up at Durham Rail Station at 10:30am.
- You will be able to have a ride of Weardale's older stock that is not usually available for the public to ride on. Weardale have a varied selection of Leyland Olympian buses normally used on scholars and it is planned to ride on these as well as the Paramount bodied Volvo B10M, the superbly original Leyland Leopard and the magnificently restored Leyland PD2.
- The vehicles that should be used are as follows: YUP6, OGR625T, GIB8666, C778SFS, G16WMS, D16WMS, and others!
- Planned return to Durham is for 18:30.
The cost for this event is £15 per head. This can be made payable via PayPal or given on the day. To inquire about payment via PayPal, e-mail Stu on the address given below:

If you have any further questions, I can try to answer them myself or you can ask Stu on the e-mail address above. Thanks.
Anyone heard whether or not this is happening again for 2014? Gutted I missed it last year.
