Tony, do you know if a Stockton vehicle will be attending?

The Eden rally was back in June. I will be attending Seaburn with the 500 Group.

As for a Stagecoach vehicle from any depot, not a chance I'm afraid. The guys who normally bring buses from Walkergate and South Shields (as well as the one driver from Stockton that could) are down in London on Paralympic work when Seaburn takes place. And the Stockton Manager who took 24107 to South Shields Fun Day left Stockton on Friday to take up his new post at Oxford from tomorrow.

No such visit that I know of. There's now just the Seaburn Rally left in the North East Calander for 2012, next one after that is the 500 Group Teesside Running Day in April.

I'm no longer able to attend (problems with my transport from home to Stagecoach's Stockton depot to go up with the 500 Group). I doubt though it will be on given today's events - if the pitch at the Stadium of Light was waterlogged, then the field at Seaburn will be a bog.

Yeah - I heard the Sunderland v Reading game was postponed! - Can you think of any where else it could be based?

Nope, nowhere else in Seaburn hard-standing wise that could hold it. If the field is boggy then that's the rally cancelled. I doubt they want a repeat of last year (the E400H became stuck in the mud).
