There is the worry that if a event marketed to enthusiasts it would be mistreated, there apparently was a few messing around at the Quaylink launch last Monday.

What happened was two chavs went up to some of us asking what we were doing etc. Then later we had bus ******* shouted at us, although some of us had left by this point and some may not have been paying attention. Not the biggest fan of Peterlee especially the Bus Station.

These are some a few of the reasons why I don't go to bus "events" anymore. I feel embarrassed by other enthusiasts when they linger around for too long wearing scruffy clothes and talking to various members of staff. I was on a bus earlier when an Ashington driver got on and started talking to me, asking why I hadn't been out taking photos much lately... if that's not because of the shame, what is it?
