I am now able to attend Seaburn (the problem with the car is apparently not as bad as we thought it was last night). Now it's just a case of waiting to hear if it's going ahead or not. All depends really on whether the sun has been out there today to dry the field.

I thought it would rain today, but it didn't and the sun is out! So maybe there is a glimmer of hope...
I have looked again on the NEBPT website and nothing has been mentioned!
For the North East members, tomorrow is the Teesside Running Day. A total of 22 vehicles were due to attend but a number have since dropped out due to issue.
Does anyone have any info/ideas about what buses will attend the Metrocentre rally?

The 500 Group should be attending with L544, plus the Cumberland Leyland Olympian is attending. I understand Arriva are planning to make their presences felt this year with a number of buses attending, I understand Darlington are proposing sending an EcoCity and a Solo, Durham are said to be bring a Gemini and Blyth might possiably be sending a B5LH. Stagecoach might also be attending with a representive from Stockton depot, I won't know until the day due to me being away from Thursday morning until Saturday night.
NWVRT's Sefton Running Day takes place on Monday 6th May

I wouldnt put my bets on with Arriva attending as they stated they would attend the ones last year and they didnt bother!

They are definately attending this year, I have had word from one of the drivers taking the buses. Can confirm the fourth bus attending is a Solo from Darlington.
But I can confirm that the 500 Group, while attending as members and with their stall, will not be attending with one of their vehicles due to the window issue with L544 and complains from the members that their other vehicle (99) is too cold.
