The majority of people will get straight onto the bus. I mean your first thought might be oo let's see what little gems I can snap in here but the majority of people will simply get onto the bus as I need to Sunderland etc. I'm sure there would of been staff around too.
Haven't we all blown the case with enthusiasts entering depots out of proportion too though? I understand that the example I have given is an extreme, but we've done that on the "Trespassing" thread too.
Go North East are liable for any injuries that take place in their depots - whether it's a member of the public, a driver or indeed an engineer.
Gary told us that he didn't think the replacement had been 'arranged' too far in advance; as such, the vehicle was not parked at the front of the depot (where they leave) ready to act as the 56's replacement. Therefore, it means that passengers would have had to walk to the other bus - however short a distance that may have been, an engineer may have left a tool on the floor while he was working on a bus, and a member of the public could have tripped over this.
