Not at all. I think just perspectives and opinions. If we didnt have different ones, the world would be a boring place.

I agree, but I don't agree with the way I conveyed my point at the start since it's more of a re-inforcement than a structured view.

I can only imagine the Government/BofE will fund vendors at least partially to accept the new coins.
If such companies employ staff to change designs, the employees get paid, they then pay tax/NI. They also spend money boosting the economy.

It's not a huge disadvantage to the government or the companies involved at all - if anything it can be a huge advantage!

I've got me dSLR out tonight, a rare sight!
Testing purposes, of course! Haven't used it for months.

Going to try and get a picture of the N21 next week. I can't find any where yet. Maybe an N56 too

Would love to do the same, But its literally impossible to do. Also adding the fact I'm only 14 so my Mam and Dad wouldn't let me either haha.

Id like to have a attempt at a photo of the 45E possibly in this holidays, But that would be a push aswell.

I find somewhere out of the way to park my car (I know this isn't possible for you) and just get myself around. I get 45Es a lot, since I'm now DSLRing I don't even need to be in range of drivers etc. Car parks are expensive as owt though, even offpeak.

It seems a post I made, answering/responding to a post from a mod has vanished.

In it, I responded with a rhetorical question, referred to an example of illegal driving, voiced an opinion regarding certain behaviours and questioned whether the points put forward were examples or possibly symptomatic of the organisation as a whole.
I even wondered out loud, whether arrogance was inherent within the organisation.

Whether the post was deleted by accident or not, only certain people will know.
If we have seen a post deleted deliberately, then it is clear members of the forum don't have the right to reply and express an opinion about a certain organisation.
We have reached a very sad state of affairs.

Those who read the post, will have clearly seen the ambiguity in the post and lack of vehicle details, location etc.
It could be ar$e covering or even sycophancy that led to the post being deleted. If the post was deleted on purpose, one has to wonder if my point about inherent arrogance, is correct.

Bigger audiences exist, that don't have the same level of censorship or ear bending. I am sure the behaviour shown would be of interest.

If the post was deleted by accident, then I would hope it wouldn't be too much of an issue me re-posting it again.

In the mean-time, I will continue to share the detail with a far bigger audience than exists here.

Posts were moved here - http://northeastbuses.co.uk/forum/showth...hp?tid=852

Dan's post was not moved as it was predominantly on the new ETM trial, and unfortunately MyBB does not allow you to split an individual post. It either remains in one thread or another.

This picture has been touched up (a tad more exposure than default. On my phone (s6) the picture is clear, on my laptop (lower end) the picture looks horribly noisy. Any Opinions?

A similar issue with this picture, although a lot less noise on my laptop. Crystal clear on my phone and the following was not editted.

Nightbuses: N21 & N56 by Jamie MP, on Flickr

Here's the benchmark for you on the former topic as well, for future years!

I'm hoping to wake up at some silly time in the morning and I'll manage to get the short N21 to chester. I'm insane enough!

Stop taking the spotlight from my content! I demand to have bragging rights for at least a few weeks....

Whey, you should know by now that I like to plug anything even vaguely relevant to get more views.

In all seriousness though, at least you got and yourself a shot like, can't say that I've seen many (if any) photos of the N20.

As there has been some concerns over the deactivation of my Facebook account, I would just like to assure everyone that everything is fine, I've just decided that I just need a few days away from it.

Although there was a few contributing factors to this downtime, the straw that broke the camels back was finding out that a individual has been making remarks about me behind my back in Facebook group chats (again!), the individual in question referred to me in a offensive term relating to disability and that I was a waste of space in the world, seemingly the reasoning for these remarks is because he seems to think that I am part of a group of people who do the following "people who pay bus fares don't deserve to stand whilst the likes of him put bags on the seats" now, whilst I do admit to putting my bag on bus/train seats, it is only done when there is plenty of seats available, when it starts to get busy, it gets put either by my knees or down on the floor by my feet, I do not make people stand out of sheer ignorance on my part, quite the opposite in fact and if I did, I'm sure people would sharp ask me to shift. I had the unfortunate allocation of 2851 on a busy 5 from Darlington on Wednesday afternoon and I can assure you that no one was made to stand as a result of me, the two people who joined me at the back however...

So,moral of the story here is, don't make assumptions that you can't prove and don't dish out abuse for the thing you are alleging. Sad to say this is the second time within about a fortnight I have had this brought to my attention. If the alleged is annoying enough, he'll hate my YouTube video set up which is typically me plonking my camera on the middle back seat on a bus which again is only when the bus is quiet.

I should be back on Facebook sometime next week. I should be attending the NNRG's Road Run thing tomorrow however that may change yet.

=(, shocked when i read it last night,
It popped up as a notification from Sky News on my phone, how can someone be so harsh?, i mean its children.


I always thought it would just be London who would targeted... clearly not.... where is next?

They don't care who, they don't care where.

I don't live my life by the scaremongering that the media and everybody tries so hard to force down everyone else's throats. The fact that it's indescriminate makes me understand that it could be me next, maybe by something completely unrelated. I like to be kept in the loop, but once I've heard the facts and given my view, I'm out of any conversation to do with it.

I'd rather enjoy my time here, rather than worrying about what people can do to me at any stage.

Anywhere can be targeted and Manchester is no stranger to terror attacks, the IRA bombed the Arndale in 1996...

This sinks to a new low though, targeting kids, by picking on young people they are aiming to strike terror of the worst kind into our hearts, and in doing so they are not discriminating in choosing who they target

This morning I have been thinking what if's, like if they had targeted Green Day's gig there that I went to recently instead of last night. I remember going to see Frank Turner in Newcastle the night after the Paris terror attacks and the atmosphere was pretty dire, just because there was that slight bit of fear that it could happen to us.

If we live in fear, that's letting them win, so we just have to get on with our lives the best we can, so I will go and enjoy my outing in the lakes today as if last night's events didn't happen.
