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 thirty 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 have regular monthly meetings on the last Tuesday of each month at:

The Billingham Arms Hotel
Queensway. Billingham
The meetings start at 7.30 p.m.

We have visiting speakers, photographic presentation and social evenings
All are welcome to attend to see what we do

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
