(26 Jun 2015, 5:46 pm)LeeCalder wrote My point is he was not a nexus staff member, and at the end of the day, we were not on Nexus land as loads of people take photos where we were. We were on the other side of the road. Which is not nexus land.
Therefore your point is invalid.
(26 Jun 2015, 5:57 pm)S813 FVK wrote And if you were in that position, you were not at the layover bay at all as it would have been in the bus station itself so that part of your point is invalid and can go straight out of the window too. Any proof that he wasn't a member of Nexus? Just because his hi-vis wasn't the traditional colour it doesn't mean that he has no relationship with the organisation (and if not, another organisation other than nexus).

Eldon Square and Haymarket have been done to death now, I'm considering to unfollow anyone who publishes any more than 5 photos from them god-damn bus stations. It's boring and its offputting.

I do feel a bit more effort should be made by some.
(26 Jun 2015, 5:30 pm)LeeCalder wrote Earlier, me, Steven Hodgson, Baz and Gary Devlin were at Eldon Square. We seen a Waggonway on the X21 so ran down to the layover bay too get a photo of it. Then, some random American security guard bloke went "Hey man you can't take no photos of buses here. You need to ask someone to take they're photo".
Anyway, this so called security bloke who by the way was wearing just a plain yellow hi-vis got his walky-talkey out and started talking about us.... No one replied.
Gary proceeded to take a photo and the bloke goes "Hey man don't take no photo" to which Gary responded in an American accent "Hey man I'm taking a f*****g photo"
The man threatened to tell Nexus and never returned...

But, what you have to remember is not everyone can go as far as you may imagine. I tend to stay close to home when ever I can as I am looking after my Grandad who is recovering from Cancer.
(26 Jun 2015, 8:15 pm)Jimmi wrote Like I said in my post, we all have our spots where we like to get photos you have Newcastle where mine is Darlington/Durham partly because I have to go through at least part of both to get to other places.
What I was trying to get across in my post is that you can take photos in Newcastle but it wouldn't hurt to get photos in slightly different parts of Newcastle City Centre. You often go to Central Station for train photos so why not get some bus photos up there as well.
I understand that it is not always possible to travel far due to reasons such as time and financial restraints and other factors.
I understand the reasons why some go to Eldon Square/Haymarket as it is pretty much the centre of Newcastle for buses where many services passing through there.
We all have our spots and our own ways for how we get our photos and there is nowhere right or wrong to get photos at, you have your own ways and I have my own ways to how we get our photos.
