For my fellow North East members, replacing Prisma 3007 at the Royal Bus Rally on Monday is Dennis Dart 1658 for what will be its swansong. All vehicles attending the rally are high-floor vehicles. So only really Arriva attending out of the big operators this time around.
R557 ABA or anyone has it been confirmed or not if
SUNDAY 7th OCTOBER 2012
Wirral Bus & Tram Show
As I heard A few months ago that it might not go ahead but just want to see if it's been confirmed yet?

We're currency in negotiations for the usage of Pacific Road, as you may very well know the venue was closed in March of this year, I can't go into detail unfortunately, but as far as we're concerned the show must go on!
For my fellow North East members, two points:
1. After the success of the Royal Bus Rally last Monday, there is now talk of a Bishop Auckland Rally becoming a regular fixture in the North East Rally Calendar.
2. Durham next weekend looks to be shaping up nicely, with a minimum of 3 Stagecoach vehicles attending maybe 4 (how many are going from Stockton depot is not yet clear). This will be the first rally of the year were all three Big Groups send vehicles (no Arriva vehicles attened the 500 Group Teesside Running Day nor the MetroCentre, while no Stagecoach vehicle attended the Bishop Auckland rally).
