Who in their right mind, would spend hours on end at Haymarket/Eldon Square? His photos are getting more likes on Facebook than what I get on my Flickr, for what is basically a shitty iPad photo with a silly filter on it.
Then he gets all of his photos printed out professionally, why?!

The thing that really annoys me about the Eldon Square/Haymarket residency is not so much the fact I get sick of seeing photos there, it's the fact that pretty much everybody gets sick of it, so it puts me under pressure to get photos elsewhere in the area which is not so ideal when I don't know the area so well and I can sometimes be pressed for time meaning that's all I can do, I can't bring myself to even upload most of my shots taken there, I often stand across the road from Haymarket these days and snap things heading over the yellow box although annoyingly it seems like since I started doing that others have started doing it so that is sickening myself off photos there. All this means I am going to be in an annoying position when I head to Newcastle on Saturday when I will require a MAX X20 B7 as I'll only really have time for a photo at Haymarket as I should be going on that bus tour shortly afterwards.

Started uploading full of enthusiasm to get my photos I took today online, about halfway though I lost the will to live but I thought that I started so I might as well finish and then the photo editor decided it was having non of it so now I'm going to have to start from scratch again another night. Fuming!
Managed to get this photo up though.

Basically the route number is on the wrong side.
(26 Jan 2016, 4:10 pm)Jimmi wrote No idea why but sometimes I can't seem to press the letter 'P' on my phones screen, I'm pressing it and it thinks I'm pressing the letter 'O' instead.
(26 Jan 2016, 7:32 am)S813 FVK wrote Its been said over and over that the route number being on the right is best practise rather than a 'must do'. Therefore, the vehicle is DDA compliant now and dosen't need anything doing to it.

(26 Jan 2016, 8:55 pm)S813 FVK wrote Well, i suppose you have a point there but hoe much of an effect does that actually have to the customer given that it only scrolls when it is at either end?Think it's only displays the minutes until departure at Ripon, Harrogate and Leeds Bus Station's. In that photo you've linked to there, I think the bus should actually be displaying 'Ripon' like this photo https://flic.kr/p/DmusaL. The displays seem to be changed at Harrogate Bus Station, so from Ripon it should be 'Harrogate then Leeds' where it then be changed to 'Leeds' at Harrogate Bus Station then on the return it should be 'Harrogate then Ripon' where it then gets changed to 'Ripon' at Harrogate Bus Station. No idea why this is done.
