(27 Dec 2016, 11:42 am)Jimmi Got in trouble at Galleries, Park Lane and Middlesbrough Bus Station in the space of a week, quite sad considering I had a clean record before that. Did get asked what I was doing in Manchester Airport Bus Station but was allowed to continue.
Park Lane and Galleries was the same day!
There'll be 'WANTED' posters in the bus stations now - security will know to look out for you!

I agree with Dan's stance, but I'm already far too schizophrenic! I can't now spend my life worrying about nexus's small army of podgey bald men chasing me over a picture ?

Interestingly, somebody made an FOI request on this very topic...
In respect of photographing buses, Nexus does not operate bus services and
you should contact the operator of any buses you wish to photograph. You
may find further information on the Operators’ website within their
Passenger Charter/Conditions of Carriage.

I remember that one. Bloke however was quite canny, and I believe Manchester Airport is welcoming to all sorts of transport enthusiasts.

Never had this problem, although I do use my iPhone to get photos, maybe they just go after people with cameras

There is a difference between taking photographs as a spotter, and some of the photographs that appear showing people (not specifically bus staff) acting unreasonably.
As the disputed areas are on private property, they are within their rights to prohibit photography, but more difficult to enforce when using a phone.
They do not have the right to demand that images are deleted (not even the police can do that) - it would require a court order - but they can prevent access to the area if they so decide (though difficult if it is a bus station).

(26 Dec 2016, 5:02 pm)Michael Dan where is 9099 going after it's been on the TEN?, just wondering as you said this on your photo of it.
"The vehicle's whistle-stop tour of Go North East's depots is set to continue towards the middle of next month, when its trial period on "TEN" services 10A/10B is completed. After a final trial at a further depot, the vehicle will be returned to Optare".
It'd next going to deptford for fab fifty six for a month.

Been like that for a while now.
RE: Go North East: Latest News & Discussion - December 2016 - Michael - 28 Dec 2016
Hopefully one of the "Fast Cats" Scania's goes Red so it can join the proposed brand on the 33/39 and 238.
Has 699 still not had it's MOT?

Nope.
Should be slotted into the schedule early in the new year.

Why is it taking so long?

It was originally booked in for PSV test on 3rd November 2016, but missed the slot because it wasn't ready (it wasn't repainted until 11th November 2016 and then would have required work to be undertaken to prepare it for test).
There were no more tests available in 2016 and the only way it could have been tested is if it was carried out at another ATF (as opposed to locally at Deptford Depot where PSV tests for the south division are undertaken). I believe 6141 or 6142 was recently tested at an alternative ATF - at Scania on Pattinson Industrial Estate in Washington, if my memory serves me correctly, but Deptford must have made the decision not to do this for 699.

Ah right, seems a right carry on.
When will 691-694 be branded?

Don't make me laugh Michael branding for 33/39 what a joke

Anyone would think Go North East had a strategy in which they've planned to launch a brand at a specific time...

Will the 38 join the brand?, this means the 33/38/39/237/238 would be branded leaving only the 9 and X36 not branded at Deptford.
Hopefully those Versa's come off the 61 soon too!
