⚠️ Bus Spotting Safety – Please Read (Gateshead Area) ⚠️

In addition to your list; buses and bus stations tend to have loads of younger members around. Do you just not pursue your hobby because someone might not like it? Like I said in my earlier post, it's about applying common sense. If there's a group of kids standing by the said bus, then I'd personally wait for a better opportunity to take a photo. Or I'd go somewhere with a decent amount of bus traffic (such as near recreational areas), and get my photos there.

Disliking something is not a crime, and we really need to stop treating it as such. I don't like wasps, but to my knowledge, it's not illegal to be a wasp. So I have no choice but to put up with them.

To be fair bus stations are private land and the Nexus supervisor will be telling you to move on anyway, unless it's changed recently. 

Like I said I don't disagree but if you're going into places where there's potential for a confrontation then it's not a good place to be. It's not illegal to wear a Newcastle top in Sunderland City Centre but you'd be an idiot to do so.

There's plenty spots around, where there's no issues; Civic Centre towards Great North Road in Newcastle, on the access to the Metrocentre Interchange near where Wilko was or near the Coach Park entrance at the end of the bridge, outside the Regent Centre away from the interchange, Argyle Street outside Park Lane Interchange. To throw some places near the bus stations.
