Apologise for the language, but that's what he said.
(05 Aug 2015, 9:51 pm)Jimmi wrote My advice is to get a photo of the bus after you get off rather than before you get on as it's difficult for them to say anything to you when you aren't on the bus anymore, about all they can do is give rude hand gestures. I know it's not always possible to get photos when you get off especially if there is no-one at the stop you wish to depart at as by the time you get in a good spot the bus is gone.

It's not acceptable in anyway and I'm sure they'll deal with it.Even when I have on occasion taken a photo before boarding a bus I have had no problems, in fact I often find its the opposite for me, they don't seem to mind if I do it normally and often joke saying stuff like "if I knew I was going to get my photo taken I'd have smartened myself up"

I remember a driver on the Coaster said something along those lines, he's a really canny driver too. Shame they all can't be like that.

He then told me about a policy at Stagecoach where they must accept that there will be bus spotters around and that the photo is only intentional to the vehicle, not the person driving the vehicle - and I've never had any crap off of them.

(05 Aug 2015, 10:03 pm)Jackamcardle wrote I've had some really nice drivers today such as on the X30/1 there was a really lovely man that was very lively and loved getting his photo taken and they an arsehole on the Q1.

I've never seed him since.Drivers must hate being seen driving the 6 as Tommy got a hand gesture from a driver on the 6 in Durham and I got a two fingered salute from a driver on the 6 in Bishop Auckland Bus Station.
(05 Aug 2015, 10:11 pm)Tom wrote Was it this angry man?Not sure on mine, as I took the image over a year ago and the camera I used to take the image was poor. Also in the original image I don't think we can see the drivers face, will dig out my hard drive at some point and look at the original photo.

It's a shame we don't get loco's like this in Newcastle all that often.
