(03 Mar 2016, 6:07 am)MrFozz wrote I once had a GNE driver demand I take a photo down off Facebook, I did as he wanted as I did not want to get dragged into an argument as I used to see him all the time and did not want to create a problem, it was not one of my favourites anyway and I did take it on Nexus property in Park Lane(naughty I know...It would be a few weeks later when I got pulled up in PLI by a Nexus man) 😀
If that happened to me I wouldn't know what to do.
For the last few weeks and months I've been having endless hand gestures and face hiders, thankfully in the last few days I've gone back to the enthusiast friendly drivers, rode 5398 on the 15 (which for the record performed well on the route including that hill just after where the 15A turns off to head through Delves Lane) anyway, the driver who took over the service at Consett gave me a thumbs up, later in the day I had this driver on the 6 https://flic.kr/p/Ea6FHD (think he was being friendly?) and I also got a thumbs up from a driver on the 5A yesterday afternoon when I took a photo near Newton Aycliffe Rail Station after I got off the train from Darlington.
The driver in question will have found the photo after I posted it on the Arriva UK Enthusiasts Facebook group, as of course being Facebook it shows my true identity although Jimmi is my nickname on Facebook.
