I certainly didn't enjoy the time I was give the middle finger at Durham Bus Station by an Arriva driver.
(13 Jun 2015, 9:41 pm)Davie If it was Arriva that doesn't surprise me (apologises to any Arriva drivers on this forum)I've had more GNE drivers give rude gestures or hiding behind running boards etc. than Arriva drivers and I spend most of my time getting photos of Arriva buses. It really depends what drivers are driving at the time really.

Have you ever?
Had a driver drive so slow your going to kill yourself if you don't get off? I have millions of times
the worst 2 ive ever had was ages ago
1. last year on a Belmont Pulsar all the way from Newcastle to Middlesbrough driver never got above 15 mph apart from the section between Chester and Pity Me where he done 30!!!
but what made it worse is he was driving so eco friendly, ive never heard a Pulsar change so early...............it wasn't in limp mode or anything, just the driver putting the slightest touch on the pedal.
2. This was years ago when 22021 was at Shields, from the Town centre to Chichester I had a decent driver but then changed drivers and the driver never got above 13 or something
yes 13 was the fastest he did and also when braking kept going on and off the brake, jerking everyone back and forth supposd to take 20 mins to my stop but took 40 instead
everyone was annoyed with the driver.
Im sure everyone has stuff like this but have any been worse than mine?

(11 Jul 2015, 2:41 pm)AIG20 There is a Stagecoach South Shields driver that keeps (or kept) randomly pressing the brakes which I find very annoying as it made my mother feel sick on a journey home from Sunderland. For example, once on the Coast Road when there was no cars in front he would just speed up and brake, speed up and brake, and so on. Unsurprisingly, I seen one of the training buses a few weeks ago with him at the wheel, as if another passenger had complained about him.
In addition, when I was at secondary school I and fellow pupils were standing at the bus stop outside Whitburn Cricket Club. At 15:41 the E2 was due. Instead a N.I.S bus turned up, the driver stuck his middle finger up with an angry expression on his face, let some passengers that were still on the bus get off, and he drove off. I couldn't believe my eye's when he swore like that, as it was totally uncalled for. Thankfully the E2 turned up immediately after and I haven't seen that driver since that day.

(12 Jul 2015, 12:48 am)tyresmoke Are you sure he wasn't just pointing to the NIS screen on the front? Can easily be misconstrued as a rude gesture though, which is why I never do that, instead just wave lol
