A July trip to North East collections
Sunday 3rd July
We made a trip to the NEBPS premises at Wardley to see their newly acquired Ex United Bristol FLF
Following this most interesting visit we went to the nearby premises of Tyne & Wear Bus Preservation Ltd and saw their collection.
During the visit the opportunity was taken to ride on their Scania JFT413X

The 500 Group has by tradition gone to the event held at Gatesheads Metro Centre coach Park organised by the N.E.B.P.T.
This year it has been re-named the North East Bus & Coach Show reflecting its increased emphasis on the coaching industry
We travelled to the event in our Daimler Fleetline JDC544L which was used during the day on the "free bus tour"
