Jimmi once caught me talking to drivers I knew well up Stanley a few months ago, but I've never been spotted before or after
I'm normally kicking about at strange times in the night. Sometimes take pictures in passing at Gateshead and Metrocentre, though. Wednesday night, I was up Stanley bus station at 2317 for the last V7. Last night I was up at Consett at 2212. Tonight I was up Stanley at around 2215. I'm probably the most frequently travelling enthusiast given it's every evening/night, but you'll rarely see me. You'd have to get really lucky during the day or even more rare - organise a day trip with me!
Yeah but I spot just about every enthusiast in fairness, so it was only a matter of time until you got spotted. Thought about saying hi but you were talking to drivers so didn't want to interrupt and was too nervous to do so, plus wasn't 100% that it was you but you were the most likely suspect due to it being Stanley Bus Station. Probably less likely to venture over that way now the Olympian's and Citaro's have/are being replaced but may still do at times for the change of scenery, sick of going through Low Fell everytime I go to Newcastle at the moment.
I used to think I went out too much in this hobby but it still isn't as much as some. Been the exact opposite this week as I've actually only been on one bus which was the 5A home from Darlington after coming back from a trip away to Birmingham, ended up having a 5 mile walk to Shildon and back on Wednesday (was knackered after that) and have had a cold for the rest of the week, hoping to get out more next week although unsure how things will play out yet, may do Wakefield next Saturday to get some haulage on the Arriva Yorkshire Optare Spectra's.
