For next Saturday I am maybe toying with the idea of Harrogate, Wetherby, Leeds and Knaresborough (plus a short stay at York Rail Station in the morning). Plans may change yet depending on some things including whether I feel totally confident using the train although I should hopefully be fine this time.

I like to do scenic shots but I haven't been doing that we'll with scenic shots recently, may try more in the summer when lighting will be better.

Harrogate is good for Variety and could fit in with stops in York and Knaresbourgh if you use the train. But going to Wetherby and Leeds is quite a bit of a detour, Id suggest stop in 1 of them and do the other one another time unless you have the time to do both.

(05 Mar 2016, 7:40 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote I might go down in the summer to Photograph the E400H Citys but I will more likely get them outside the City Centre.

Got a lot of good shots today, But some of the the Cockfield Moor ones came out dull or the Destination Display didn't show.
Going to start uploading them now.

(06 Mar 2016, 12:23 pm)Adrian wrote Ocean Terminal is good and it's really quiet for photos too. As Tommy has suggested, the Gyle Centre is also worth a look. There's plenty of places just outside of Princes Street for photos. It's just a case of getting a day ticket and see what takes your fancy! 

I think next time I do Edinburgh, I'll be doing an Airlink Day Ticket for £9. Bus there and tram back I think, as it's the only section of the tram line that I haven't used.

(06 Mar 2016, 3:12 pm)South Tyne Lad wrote I like Ocean Terminal because like you say it's quiet. Might try the Gyle Centre too. The airport can be quiet sometimes but the Airlink Volvos are lovely

Will try princes street but the traffic and people will a challenge
But today it's off to good old rowlands Gill

Nice scenery though.

But I'm going to get photos of buses in the scenery so that's why I'm going

(08 Mar 2016, 3:01 pm)GMitchelhill wrote Just annoyed at the fact that some enthusiasts think that Volvo B5TLs / B5LHs with Wright Gemini 3s are Wright Streetdecks because it has the new front. Only time it's a Wright Streetdeck is when it's the intergral from Wright, eg the Three Castles Expresses and 9119.

(08 Mar 2016, 3:16 pm)Jimmi wrote I'm bound to make this mistake, already have with Transdev's Volvo B5TL's on the 36. I seem to struggle with bus types for some reason...

(08 Mar 2016, 5:03 pm)GMitchelhill wrote I understand if it's someone who isn't in with the in and outs of bus types. It's just that there are some enthusiasts who have been told time and time again. There was a debate weeks ago where someone thought 9119 was a Gemini 3 and not a Streetdeck because it didn't have the new front. Now I've been made aware of a post by someone else who reckons a Wright bodied Volvo B5LH is a Streetdeck because it has the latest front end design.

Trust me, the buses are actually the easier part for vehicle identification. When it comes to coaches, it's a more difficult ball game.

It's a StreetDeck, not a Streetdeckka
