I know there is a number of reasons which I'm not going to state. Just it's getting me a bit down, I went out bus riding on Thursday, and by mid afternoon I just wanted to go home (in the end I sat on the Metro the rest of the day), but I'm getting easily annoyed with various things etc even though I shouldn't. I just cannot pinpoint why or don't know what to do to get me out of this rut.

A few enthusiasts seem to be losing interest in the bus scene around here, I feel there is little variety in buses and operators around and most modern buses sound quite similar and dull.

I have become a bit less interested than I was about a few years back when I first properly got into the hobby but part of my issue is that I have done just about every North East route that is worth doing. Quite like to invade Yorkshire on a Saturday as it is different enough to the North East and there is still a few bits of interest to me, always happy when I get one of Arriva Yorkshire's few remaining Optare Spectra's.

Decided to stop the daily uploads on my YouTube channel, the reasoning being the fact I simply can't be bothered with uploading them anymore as I find it quite time consuming and mentally draining, also I do actually have other things to do with my life.
