(02 Jun 2016, 2:56 pm)BusLoverMum Just wrestled little'un away from the bells, yet again and clattered my thumb on the rim of a flaming red bull can that some ignorant Muppet had wedged between the seat back. Nice big red dent in the skin at the base of the nail now.
Edit - to add insult to injury, I knocked it out in disgust with my elbow, not realising there was still some drink in it, which is now all over the floor of the bus and the bottom of my bag. (Sorry for the mess, Arriva - not entirely my fault)

(02 Jun 2016, 4:59 pm)Adrian Just waiting for Jimmi's post now, to say he slipped on some red bull that someone had spilled on the floor of an Arriva bus, and then he fell on to the can.

Had a battle getting off the X10 in Gateshead this morning as just about everyone had their legs in the aisle upstairs. Also peak time GNE 21, very busy, went upstairs and there was some arse who refused to move from the middle of the backseat upstairs, ended up going back downstairs and had to sit at the back there which made me feel slightly embarrassed as everyone was looking at me! Only reason for getting the 21 was because I wanted a photo of the JH Coaches E200 which I shot just as you go into Barley Mow Estate, seem as the late arrival of the 68 in Wrekenton this morning prevented me from getting a shot and ride then.

I see there's going to be a show about trainspotting on the BBC, it's called Trainspotting Live and is going to hosted by Dan Snow. Well that's just typical they do one for train enthusiasts but not bus enthusiasts.
They should do Bus Spotting Live and have it at cling on corner. Interviews with the usual suspects...
I'd watch it for sure.

It's embarrassing enough taking photos of buses as it is at times without a load of teenagers shouting "they are taking photos etc." for everyone around Leeds Bus Station to hear.

(04 Jun 2016, 10:15 pm)BusLoverMum Hah! We're thinking of going down to Leeds before the end of the month (Train to Leeds, Cityzap to York then train to Durham) Will have to brazen it out. Watch me petrify the sods
It's easy in Edinburgh and York because everyone is walking with a camera in front of their face, sometimes even on a selfie stick!

(04 Jun 2016, 10:14 pm)Adrian I may be missing the point here, but why do you find it embarrassing taking photos? Or more so, if you find it embarrassing, then why do you do it? It's supposed to be a hobby.I don't mind normally, as I am just getting on with it without interpretation and not everyone will notice me taking photos, but when you've got loud teens shouting at you round a busy bus station, more people will draw their attentions to us and start to judge and start looking at you, especially as some of the clientele round Leeds Bus Station wasn't the best this afternoon. It feels as if them shouting is drawing an audience to us and I could see some of the judgmental faces from other people lingering round at the time.
I'd just ignore them if I were you, and just continue on with what you're doing.

(04 Jun 2016, 10:19 pm)Adrian I'd recommend doing the train to Harrogate (change at York), and then do the 36 followed by Cityzap? The 36 is the better out of the two if I'm honest.

Left a few facebook groups because I'm sick of seeing stupid suggestions and pointless questions. I get enough of it at work, I don't want to have to see it everytime it pops up on my news feed on Facebook.
