Since around June last year me and fellow enthusiast Alex Garwood have had a bit of a long running dispute with a Dales & District driver, think I first got a V sign from him on my first trip to Ripon back in June then for a second time in the first quoted post, on the third occasion (second quoted post) me and Alex were in Ripon Bus Station getting photos and a V sign was aimed at us, this was Alex's first bit of abuse from a driver in the hobby and he decided to complain to Dales & District. Since the complaint was made no more offensive hand gestures have been made but on a few occasions we have gotten stares from the driver in question.
Alex took another photo in Darlington this morning with said driver at the wheel and this is what he has claimed has happened today: https://flic.kr/p/FBRzQh
Note: Moments after this photo was taken, the driver (who I've had trouble with before) noticed that I had a camera on me and also realised that he knew who I was. As a result, he got out his phone and took a photo of me and then proper stared at me for the five minutes that he was there, making him look proper werid and perhaps making me feel slightly uncomfortable in a way.
I don't know about Alex but I'm starting to get a bit fed up of this, I am now at the stage where I don't wish to do any outings on Dales & District service's in case I get said driver and he kicks up a fuss, a big potential fear is that he could refuse me travel which knowing my luck if it were to happen it would end up being if I was waiting in Ripon where there is little in the way of alternative ways to return to Darlington.
