I think ultimately NNRG, NEBPT and THV need to come together and work in partnership to preserve our local preservation scene here in the North East creating a Museum/Heritage Centre as Adrian has suggested.

I do think in the short term Beamish Museum is an excellent shout as they could benefit from having Low Floor Buses operating the Museum Shuttles as I noticed those who were Elderly/Disabled struggled with the older vehicles in use. I think it would massively improve the accessibility aspect for those individuals visiting Beamish in turn potentially boosting visitor numbers.
