Are you interested in buses
|
Welcome to the 500 Group
 | The 500 Group was formed in 1989 for people who have an interest in the buses and operations of Cleveland Transit and its predecessors
We now have over a hundred and fifty members, many from outside the area and some from overseas. They are from all social and age groups, but all have an interest in buses.
We cater for those whose interest is in historical matters, preservation of vehicles and vintage bus rallies as well as the modern transport scene.
_________________________________________
We are now holding our monthly meetings at the MALLEABLE CLUB, 345 Norton Road, Stockton on Tees
They are held on the last Tuesday in each month at 19.30.
The Stagecoach 36/37 route passes the door and there is ample free, safe car parking
---------------------------------------------
We have a bi-monthly newsletter, packed with Group news, historical articles and fleet news
We own four buses that are native to the area:
1958 Dennis Loline Mk.I JDC599 x Middlesbrough
1967 Leyland PD2 JVN40E x T.R.T.B.
1973 Daimler Fleetline JDC544Lx T.M.T.
1976 Bristol VR RDC106R x Transit
We attend vintage vehicle rallies through out the North of England in these vehicles, they are usually held on Sundays or Bank Holidays
