I don't know if anyone else bothered, this year. The few buses displayed (very few of those were preserved vehicles) were shoved right to the back of the car park. The only big operator exhibiting was Stagecoach. It was nice to see their busways commemorative vehicles all together, though.

The weather was foul and some of the stallholders were on the verge of giving up quite early.

Pushed futher back due to Go North East wanting to run an X50 for the Magic weekend so GNE had spoke to the trust asking for them to have the bottom half of the car park so the trust agreed. Then no sign of the X50 today as was told the gne team who run the X50 "kicked off a fuss about the event so didn't bother running it". So gne talked to them about it asked them to do this and then decide "nah cba" and just didn't bother
