 I was going to go today but weather has put a stop to that, I believe the A66 is closed at Scotch Corner. If it is, wondering how much of an effect it has had on attendees, both entrants and public?]]>

There were absolutely no Leyland Nationals, only one Olympian and one Bristol VRT and considerably fewer Atlanteans. There were barely any other older single decks and about one coach and I'm sorry that is very poor. 

The highlight of the day was having a ride on the open top Atlantean which I really enjoyed but apart from that I was massively disappointed to be honest. I understand this could be down to the ridiculous costs of living these days and I understand that vehicles like ex NGT 4710 are undergoing an overhaul etc, so I'm not trying to be unreasonable but I was really disappointed. I

 was hoping to catch a ride on 3501 but once again it was not used on the Heritage Tour and hasn't been for a few years and it seems the same vehicles are used every year. I haven't seen the likes of ex NGT 3406, 3469, 3636 for a few years to name a few. I  also haven't seen the Northumbria livered Delta for a while, and there was the absence of 3656, 3661, 3741 and 4708 and the ex Busways Scania etc. I was also disappointed with the selection of cars on display although there were some new additions that I hadn't seen previously, so it wasn't all bad.

I normally book holidays to attend the rally each year as I used to go with my Dad and have kept going since after he passed away but if it continues to decline I see very little point of going in the future.]]>

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.]]>

It's a shame that it's been tarred with reports on social media.
