(21 Feb 2015, 12:07 pm)Tommy_1581 By law, public authorities must respond promptly to requests.

Even if they are not prompt, in nearly all cases they must respond within 20 working days. If you had to clarify your request, or they are a school, or one or two other cases, then they may have more time (full details).
WhatDoTheyKnow will email you if you don’t get a timely response. You can then send the public authority a message to remind them, and tell them if they are breaking the law.
looking the request I made, I got a reply within 10 days, just it ended up getting lost in my inbox

(20 Feb 2015, 7:59 pm)MrFozz I will tell you exactly what you will get back Tommy...I asked ages ago about it, and the reply got lost in my inbox, I only found it when I started to clear up 17,000 messages

If you've received that response from Nexus, I'm sure that you would want to read this page

That link doesn't apply to bus stations, despite Nexus passing it out to people. DB are a private contractor, and bus stations are not within their remit. Hence why you have both Nexus and DB customer services staff at interchanges.

The spot I saw Dan at the other day looked quite good. You'd be able to take photos of the buses while they are stationary for a moment or two before departing. Smile

There's the big island at the other side of the bus station, where you can get shots of buses coming in from both directions. You can also walk down towards the job centre (Weardale House), and out on the footpath around the back. That runs adjacent with the road from the Galleries bus station, towards Oxclose and the Washington Highway. Other than that, there's the police bus link near the leisure centre, and also the stops near the retail park.

The Galleries is an odd one. I once had bother for standing on the big pavement sorta thing next to the Newcastle-bound X1 stand taking photos, but that was just the once, and security have seen me taking photos where I took the photo Marcus linked to and didn't say a word.

As well as the ones already suggested, you could try the other bus station around near Frankie and Bennies and the Retail Park stops.

Okay thanks!

I'm only planning on spending 30 minutes in Washington, jumping off the 50 then jumping on the next one to South Shields.

I don't have much time as I've got a fair few things planned for that day, but I will probably return to Washington again soon.

No - Nexus don't patrol The Galleries, but The Galleries' own security do.
