(03 Jan 2017, 6:38 pm)Ambassador Two extremely rude and irritating young lads on the 6065 21 back from Eldon Square tonight. Got very over excited at the sight of a double deck 27.

Taking up four seats, moaning about every passenger and taking the Mick out of a mentally disabled passenger.

Hang your heads in shame.

(04 Jan 2017, 9:03 am)Andreos1 Can you name names?

(04 Jan 2017, 5:30 pm)Ambassador I don't know them but one was a larger lad. The other tall slim with so so dental work! 

In their teens I'd say

(12 Jan 2017, 5:10 pm)Andreos1 Lad in mid/late teens taking photos with phone at Gateshead.
Giving drivers the thumbs up after taking a shot.

(21 Jan 2017, 10:28 pm)Pulsar anyone taking photos at Blyth bus station around 11:30 today?

(21 Jan 2017, 10:36 pm)Jamie M Sounds like the kind of thing I would do, but you'd not ever catch me doing it!
Jimmi once caught me talking to drivers I knew well up Stanley a few months ago, but I've never been spotted before or after
I'm normally kicking about at strange times in the night. Sometimes take pictures in passing at Gateshead and Metrocentre, though. Wednesday night, I was up Stanley bus station at 2317 for the last V7. Last night I was up at Consett at 2212. Tonight I was up Stanley at around 2215. I'm probably the most frequently travelling enthusiast given it's every evening/night, but you'll rarely see me. You'd have to get really lucky during the day or even more rare - organise a day trip with me!

(22 Jan 2017, 1:35 am)Jimmi Yeah but I spot just about every enthusiast in fairness, so it was only a matter of time until you got spotted. Thought about saying hi but you were talking to drivers so didn't want to interrupt and was too nervous to do so, plus wasn't 100% that it was you but you were the most likely suspect due to it being Stanley Bus Station. Probably less likely to venture over that way now the Olympian's and Citaro's have/are being replaced but may still do at times for the change of scenery, sick of going through Low Fell everytime I go to Newcastle at the moment.

I used to think I went out too much in this hobby but it still isn't as much as some. Been the exact opposite this week as I've actually only been on one bus which was the 5A home from Darlington after coming back from a trip away to Birmingham, ended up having a 5 mile walk to Shildon and back on Wednesday (was knackered after that) and have had a cold for the rest of the week, hoping to get out more next week although unsure how things will play out yet, may do Wakefield next Saturday to get some haulage on the Arriva Yorkshire Optare Spectra's.

(22 Jan 2017, 1:46 am)South Tyne Lad I have a feeling ive finally umasked who you are too, As I seen a man in Plain Clothes talking to a bunch of Drivers in Consett Bus Station last Saturday, Aswell as having one or two Boards in his hand too.






I tend to see atleast one Enthusiast I know every weekend I'm out, Sometimes more in the Holidays, I've probably seen more that I cant match a face too, Do tend to bump into a few who I normally only see at Bus Rallys, Then they just disappear until the next rally!

I managed to bump into Devonshire Enthusiast Kameron Allen in Middlesbourgh Bus Station today out of all places ( Spent the rest of the day with him ), I did know beforehand he would be somewhere in the North East today because he said he would be doing it when I was with him on a Trasndev bash 2 weeks ago, However I cant know instantly where people are anymore since my Facebook account got suspended!

(22 Jan 2017, 2:00 am)Jamie M I wasn't up consett last weekend. There are one or two plain clothes people who help up there who are former drivers themselves. I always wear a black coat and jeans, look like I'm about ten years old like ?
I was preoccupied with driving somewhere last saturday until late.

I normally only touch boards at Stanley, where you will only normally find me at night/evening If I'm up consett I will just be drinking hot chocolate, great value mind!

Better luck next time!

(22 Jan 2017, 2:06 am)South Tyne Lad Ah right, Not a bad little job to do for the day.

Doubt i'll be up at Stanley anytime past 1800 though, So I'll have to try and find you on a rare daytime outing!

(22 Jan 2017, 2:00 am)Jamie M I'm very nervous too and try to hide myself, but if you're sure it's me just go for it! I'll probably be a bit confused at first, but I'm not exactly gonna bite your arm off 😛

I'm probably the hardest one to actually get to know because of my time scheduling and the fact I'm as much as an introvert as you happen to describe yourself in posts. Seeing me is a challenge in itself, but getting to know me is quite another!

(22 Jan 2017, 2:32 am)Jimmi Yeah, much the same with me and it's nearly always someone I don't recognise or don't really bother with rather than the one's I'm friends with. You probably are a difficult one to find due to the nature of locations for your photos.

Most random I've ever had is someone talking to me about the buses on the 5/5A whilst I was at my local bus stop in Newton Aycliffe heading to Darlington, mentioned the Scania's from Merseyside and that it should get new buses (which funnily enough was the day the 13 reg Pulsar's entered service).


I tend to hide when I see enthusiasts or people I know, even ones I know quite well, when I saw you in Stanley Bus Station I ended up walking past and jumped onto a Toon Link to Newcastle. Think one or two can maybe vouch for me on doing stuff like that.

I'm only really known by the members of this forum, I seem to be a nobody in the hobby everywhere else which don't help matters which sure enough is the one's I always tend to spot.

I don't tend to pop up in the areas you do very often, so probably won't see you again (maybe at a rally perhaps).
