United Enthusiasts' Club

The club was formed in 1984 with the support and encouragement of United Automobile Services, and continues to flourish with the help of the successor companies Arriva North East and Arriva Northumbria. It caters for the growing number of bus enthusiasts interested in these operators and in the history of United and its immediately associated companies. The club has some 170 members living as far afield as Scotland, the south coast and Devon as well as in the local area.

Members are kept informed by a monthly illustrated newsletter containing vehicle and service news of Arriva Northumbria and Arriva North East, articles, letters, book reviews, comment and details of events. An enlarged quarterly edition contains major articles, usually historical, and provides a platform for members to share the results of their researches. Publication is towards the end of the named month, and by courtesy of Arriva each issue usually contains the Company's Northumbria and North East vehicle allocation sheets for that month.

Meetings are held at various locations, and excursions are organised from time to time to places of interest.
