RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Tom - 06 Mar 2015

I'd love a review for that.
See what you have to say about some of the renowns

RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - LeeCalder - 06 Mar 2015
I'll be heading to MetroCentre tomorrow as there is a Class 52 'charter' coming though
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - MrFozz - 06 Mar 2015
(06 Mar 2015, 9:15 pm)MarcTheA4 Maybe.We should start a little game at least once a month to start with...
Challenge Marcus,
NEB sets each challenge for you, and you pursue a challenge with different objectives...
e.g We send you to an area and you will be set objectives to achieve

Might do, I'll see other suggestions too though.
I'll be critical. One sweeping blow and the crack team of citaro5284'n'Dan (yes, I said that) will have 4912, 4913 and 5165 gone. Whatever makes their weekend. They are the masters.

5165 is competley vile so that one can go
4912/4913 are all right but the irritating buzzing from the indicators constantly makes the journey so bad.
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Jimmi - 06 Mar 2015
Hopefully tomorrow's outing will be a bit less chavtacular than today's trip to Darlington, although looking at the plan it probably will be more chavy with some of the places I'm heading and also it's Saturday.
One downside to the Nikon D5100 is it is more noticeable and more people will stare or come up and take the piss, or at least they do in Darlington.
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Tom - 06 Mar 2015
Also there are Metro Replacements on next weekend so you might want to head to North Tyneside.
They are operating North Shields-Four Lane Ends.

Having said that, I haven't had much bother at all.

I've had several people over the past few years ask me to take their photo - sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Most of the time I just laugh. I really couldn't give a toss about what a random stranger who I'm unlikely to ever see again thinks.
Bus Related Outings and Reviews - R852 PRG - 07 Mar 2015
For anyone wishing to find 91105 and 91124 today, please see my post in the East Coast/Virgin East Coast thread.

I actually only had one come up to me yesterday in Darlington and I wasn't really that bothered was just thinking " oh **** off"
The worst I've had so far was Bishop Auckland Bus Station where two chavy lasses started shouting in my face " EEE YOU BETTER NOT BE TAKING PHOTOS OF PEOPLE" and I totally just didn't care so I decided to take loads of photos of the bus they got on to **** them off.
So these instances can happen anytime, anyplace really, some are happy having their photos taken, other's aren't and I don't particularly care if people who don't end up being snapped as you often can't really see them in the photo anyway.
Yesterdays general chav pain was not related to my photo taking it was just chavs being loud annoying and stupid as ever, for an example of stupidity from yesterday check the Darlington Town Centre Bus Stops thread later on when I make a post.

Have some repaints and MAX to catch up with first, and my fear is that trains will be difficult if they aren't stationary as we have some big black clouds above us today....
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Jimmi - 07 Mar 2015
Still full of cold, so once again the Tyneside outing has been postponed.
Think I should just scrap this trip as I get sick everytime I've planned to do this one.
RE: Bus Related Outings and Reviews - Tom - 07 Mar 2015
I'm not the best either Jimmi, got a splitting headache.
Might leave the County Durham trip for the Easter and make it a big one.

The worst I seen was an older gentleman in Peterlee being called a nonce, paedophile and abused with a barrage of swearing and 4 letter words, I was not able to defend him as I was already on the bus, and it was due to pull out as it was late
kinda regret that nowMy most embarrassing moment came from my mam, I decided to meet her from work one night, we were in Park Lane and a Drifter Versa pulled in on the 42, she said to me 'Look, it is off it's normal route, are you going to take a photo of it' at that point I could feel my face on fire, going bright red and I could feel every set of eyes looking at me to see what I would do...lol
