I tend to see atleast one Enthusiast I know every weekend I'm out, Sometimes more in the Holidays, I've probably seen more that I cant match a face too, Do tend to bump into a few who I normally only see at Bus Rallys, Then they just disappear until the next rally!
I managed to bump into Devonshire Enthusiast Kameron Allen in Middlesbourgh Bus Station today out of all places ( Spent the rest of the day with him ), I did know beforehand he would be somewhere in the North East today because he said he would be doing it when I was with him on a Trasndev bash 2 weeks ago, However I cant know instantly where people are anymore since my Facebook account got suspended!
I wasn't up consett last weekend. There are one or two plain clothes people who help up there who are former drivers themselves. I always wear a black coat and jeans, look like I'm about ten years old like 😛
I was preoccupied with driving somewhere last saturday until late.
I normally only touch boards at Stanley, where you will only normally find me at night/evening If I'm up consett I will just be drinking hot chocolate, great value mind!
Better luck next time!

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.
I'm very nervous too and try to hide myself, but if you're sure it's me just go for it! I'll probably be a bit confused at first, but I'm not exactly gonna bite your arm off 😛
I'm probably the hardest one to actually get to know because of my time scheduling and the fact I'm as much as an introvert as you happen to describe yourself in posts. Seeing me is a challenge in itself, but getting to know me is quite another!
