I can't remember the exact conversation I had now, but I was told that I certainly shouldn't have been allowed to get the cab shots of both vehicles. Whether it was members of the public not being able to go on the bus at all or members of the public not being able to get in the cab, I really can't remember. Worth noting that I wasn't supervised on either occasion of being in the cab of two vehicles GNE didn't own..? What if I had damaged something?


They work on a voluntary basis as far as I'm aware but those driving the vehicles are still representing the company. Those who brought vehicles along (Arriva drivers included) had to wear uniform - so why should drivers who didn't bring vehicles along be allowed to drive buses without their uniform on?

To represent the company, the drivers should have been acting in a sensible manner and not leaving the buses unattended (as they would when driving the buses on a normal day at work). While I agree they were there for their own entertainment as enthusiasts and weren't being paid, they shouldn't have left the vehicles unattended or if they did, one driver should have stood in the middle of two vehicles.
