I've always wondered why certain drivers don't reply to a friendly wave when they observe, especially when it is drivers from the same company and depot?

I’ll wave to anyone (even bus drivers...) but some companies will only wave to their own, or indeed their own depot...! Some are just so miserable they won’t wave to anyone, had a few like that at Stagecoach when I worked there!
