(10 Aug 2015, 4:29 pm)Jimmi Couldn't agree more about Crimdon Dene, it would have provided a much better photo opportunity than Peterlee Bus Station where they will be appearing on services there all the time so it wasn't really a unique photo opportunity at all. It's not the first time either as it was the same for the X66 with the StreetLite's where they had another secret photo shoot.
This indiGo launch could have seen not just enthusiasts but the general public come along and have a look if advertised properly (which it wasn't) but GNE obviously wanted it to be a private event and shouldn't be disputed. Just like we are entitled as people to maintain our privacy. Enthusiasts were given the chance to photograph the buses at Peterlee which is what a majority of people would have done anyway.
The X66 was a different kettle of fish completely. The shoot was in one of the car parks (the Green car park to be exact) and obviously, as it is a car park, they couldn't stay there all day as the area was required for customer and staff parking. A company can not please enthusiasts who take photos all of the time.
