First I arrived in Newcastle in time for the StreetDeck to head to Whickham View, unfortunately it was over 10 minutes late and arrived directly behind a E400 also on the 38, meaning I was unable to get on the StreetDeck and to make matters even worse, you could only get poor quality photos, so I had to wait an hour for it to come back, got a photo at Freeman Hospital but was a rush shot and only just got the bus in the frame.
Got a Enviro200 MMC to Central Station, (my first ride on a Stagecoach example) and I got off in the hope that the orange OmniDekka would be on the 327 but of course it was but sadly I was photographing the green Trident and the OmniDekka flew past in the distance, tried to catch up with it but it started pulling away from the lights when I got close.
Then got into Chester-le-Street on the X12 and saw 549 on the 34A and was going to get off for a photo but as I got to the stairs on the Gemini I was on, it pulled out, so had to do a walk of shame back down the bus, the looks I got from the passenger's...
Whilst waiting for the StreetDeck this morning, I was stood on the island on Pilgrim Street and someone shoved me out of the way, why he couldn't walk round me I don't know?! That really annoyed me plus everyone who walked into me today, all instances were supposedly my fault
Also witnessed a near miss between two Stagecoach buses at Whickham View Terminus.
