(10 Aug 2015, 5:36 pm)Dan Like the photoshoot at the Metrocentre to promote the investment into new vehicles for the X66 service, the controlled photoshoot today was also held in a car park (albeit a public one rather than on private property like the Metrocentre). The buses had to be moved once it got busy, and like the X66 photoshoot, it was only an hour (or thereabouts) in duration.
As I said before, Go North East gave enthusiasts the heads up on the photo opportunities available in Peterlee Bus Station. A lot of enthusiasts turned up (some ignoring the plea to enthusiasts to stay on the footpaths rather than darting across the bus station behind buses which were reversing out from bays), so it was pretty successful if you ask me. The local and national media got their photographs and a nice story, while enthusiasts got some photographs of the old and new together.
I would have thought that everyone was a winner today..?
Know who your on about running behind reversing buses I admit I didn't stay on the footpath but I waited for buses to leave and go over when the Bus Station was empty, also when you telling us about the cascades. Finally I think it was great watching the buses be swapped.
