This should be in the happy thread - think of all those extra views!!

Mind Jimmi, I am surprised you did provide a link to all the photos you've had this happen to. You love a good plug! Big Grin

The app crashed before I could see the rest of the photos, although I think they were all Blackpool Transport photos.

Ain't wrong about the plugging though, saw a photo of the Yutong demonstrator on Facebook which is currently with Johnsons, of course I commented with a link to my YouTube video of it.

Another bleeding horrible journey on the 7.

A group of boys, probably younger than big'un, effing and blinding (to put it politely) and coming out with some unbelievably sexist crap. Unless they grow up, their future girlfriends and wives will probably end up on Mumsnet being urged to LTB.

A couple of women, probably not much younger than me, off into Durham for a night on the Town, already half cut and bleeding annoying with their selfies and cackling. Probably puking somewhere by now.

Getting off the bus, I let a lady down the stairs in front of me and she's old and struggling. I'm patient because littl'un is slow down bus stairs and I'm sometimes not much better. Driver has already left the cab and is half blocking the door. My phone is in my bag, but the cable has sprung out and gets caught on the handrail on the door - flinging it out of my bag and onto the concrete under the bus. 1 month old phone scuffed to bits Sad

The day could have got better, but littl'un did his thing of bolting down a couple of glasses of water, after tea, and throwing it all up again. Just finished washing and drying it all and the carpet my be dry by the morning.

T'other one (I presume) has snapped the chain on the bathroom sink plug, so if woo really does exist, that's the third of the things that come in threes.

I should have known to cancel today when I had a dream in the early hours of this morning about violently murdering someone and chopping up and hiding the body. My subconscious might have been onto something, there.

BusLoverMum seems to be really unlucky with the 7's, I use it very frequently and I don't tend to get this sort of thing happen much. Mind there is still often Irritating chavs on it and we haven't got time for me to rant about two ignorant morons who got on the other week.

That said I always get the weirdos on the early evening 5A's, got the 18:55 from Darlington Town Centre last night and it arrived 10-15 minutes prior to the departure time, so this old guy gets on and after a few minutes starts shouting "can we go now?!" "I'm bored!" then asked the young lasses a few seats in front of me if it's a woman driver which of course it was, then he's telling not to learn to drive (screw gender equality eh? ) got the most sarcastic yay when she started the engine up. Funnier still, being an evening journey, it left Darlington Town Centre via Feethams and then he's like "stop, stop, I think I'm on the wrong bus!" will have been funny if he got on the 19:15 Sapphire 7 as it should do the same.

I actually recorded that, it's so damn tempting to whack it up on me YouTube

Aye, there's something about Saturday afternoons. Even in the holidays, weekdays are a lot more civilised.

I hate the centre of Durham on a Saturday afternoon, too. It's packed with loud drunks and feels a bit intimidating, sometimes.

Coming back from the rally the first Q3 I waited for never turned up and the second was 15 minutes late. Really packed aswell on the second one once it got onto the main part of the quayside.

I have a suspicion we ended up on the same bus because that sounds rather like mine.

Found it amusing watching him run around like a headless chicken after 100+ Enthusiasts for the best part 7 Hours, ohhh and then he Metro Replacements to deal with after a power failure between Gateshead and Brockley Whins.

Got to give him an A* for his efforts today, not once did he give up, he kept on trying and trying and trying, and was persistent in being a Jobsworth C***.

Our Q3 going there was really late, so we hopped off a shuttle bus at Gateshead then caught a bus back into Newcastle to do the other things we had planned in town.

The only other annoyance was when people walked right in the way and just stood there when I was taking photos at the rally, rather than shout at them like i have seen some do I decided to wait for them to move instead which is rather annoying when a bus is about to go out as didn't wanna be out all day as have about 500 to 600 photos to organise on flickr plus today's photos

Haha, Not them lot again.

Were only pain in the arses to just about everyone at the rally, Including the GNE drivers they were non stop pestering for Destinations.
Had absolutely no respect for the Drivers or any staff, Casually just letting themselves in a bus when the Drivers had went for a break, And had not been authorised to do nout.

They regularly rode the shuttles during the day and were just non stop throughout the whole journeys, Even moving about the bus to front and back quite a few times, They cuased a uproar/incident on one of the shuttles that I wasn't on.

Was having a chat with some drivers towards the end, And they were over the moon when the three of them buggered off, As was everyone else who I spoke with.

Wasn't these lads was it as some kept changing the destinations on the Stanley Travel Solo SR.

People shouldn't be letting themselves onto buses when the doors are closed and there's no one around to keep a check on them as they could cause damage to a bus which could put the operator off bringing any vehicles to rallies in the future. I have seen on facebook that Stu Gray from Scarlet Band was having similar issues with this as well. Rules should be if the doors are closed and there is no one around to supervise that people do not enter buses under any circumstances.

It should not take 'rules'. It is common sense. You would not let yourself into someone's house, whether the door was closed or not. So why should people feel they have the right to do it with a bus? 

I would say that some of the onus here has to be on the lack of stewards at the event, and I do hope they improve that for future events.

The position of the sun being in a crap place for a photo of 1438 on the 5, so I'm now heading to Shildon in the hope of getting a better one.

Kinda my fault though for having to guess where would be best and sadly I guessed wrong.

Loads of seats on 4813 on X26 to Richmond, so WHY did someone have to sit on the backwards facing seat with me?! Tell what I love, being stared at, being robbed of legroom and the sucking and clicking sounds you are making with your mouth.
