I wrapped up quite soon and it had died off a lot later in the morning so I returned to the car park where like Leicester the list didn't work, crumbling England and as I set off to Rotherham indeed it was crumbling roads. I seem to recall noting this before, it really is a dire area and when I arrived at Rotherham I found a nice little pay and display nnear the interchange which I'd used before. There isn't much demand for parking as the poor use taxis and that is the majority, it was like Open Christmas for the dossers on a wider scale. It was nice to bump into fellow photographer Phil and there were several other enthusiasts around as the new First buses were being delivered in batches each week plus there were a couple of demonstrators about. All enough to summon a few photographers, are they all retired like me some didn't look old enough- had a chap with one nice chap who recognised me, fame indeed at Rotherham. Lots of orders to sort, cine films to purt on eBay and films to load on Youtube etc etc. Thanks goodness its pub night!!
It really is all on a wing and a prayer at this time of year, you can check the main tv weather and then check locations on the computer but at the end of the day its down to what happens and sometimes its wide of the mark. I was up at 6am which these days seems very early indeed no matter that i was up for work only shortly after that every working day. Anyway the traffic getting to the m62 over to Yorkshire was very heavy and it was raining then it all cleared, a spot of mist on the tops then into Yorkshire and it was as if a veil had lifted and it was bright sunshine. This doesn't matter that much in Barnsley and from the town side or station side if you prefer its ok most of the year for video albeit not that brilliant for stills. There were building around the market being demolished a lot of locals were out with their cameras. Perhaps the proliferation of cameras in general mitigated against the bus station security making a pest of themselves and it was really a hassle free visit with extra bonus points for the Yorkshire Traction heritage bus.
