We completed another bus location on our 2017 list, namely Peterborough. We had a good journey there although we were up at 5am, arrived about 8.30. It was light cloud most of the time which was ideal but as we left it cleared to sunshine almost everywhere except near home where it was foggy but even this cleared late afternoon to give a dramatic sunset. At least the days begin to lengthen again. The drivers this morning were great and we met a couple of enthusiasts at the bus station and another PMP fan driving. As often is the case it's the one rotten apple which spoils the barrel in this case driving 37217 on route 5 this morning who amazingly on film pulled up and threatened me, I know Stagecoach take a dim view of this type of behaviour, in their branded bus, branded uniform and when many other drivers were in Santa outfits one just has to be an idiot. In future I am considering taking civil action against them in addition to any disciplinary action or criminal prosecution which may follow. It was bad enough having the Scottish police taking mischievous action against me after I had suffered a racial assault by the police at the Commonwealth games in Glasgow and said I would put a complaint in. In the process the Scottish legal system ended up supporting right wing terrorists to get their own back on me. As they were officers of the court perhaps it was treason, it was often in my mind the thought of them on a gibbet but now studying for the ministry it is one thing I do find hard to forgive. Now we find that the government in the UK is mindful of the risks of right wing terrorists, I couldn't get any sort of support at the time but as it was just before the independence referendum when the hatred for English people was at it's height. I see we've topped 25k subscribers and average daily viewership bubbles around 80-90k on our Youtube site. I've been adding new DVD releases and trailers and these are mostly on our shop plus our Amazon shop. There is a sale on Ebay at present. We will send any last minute DVD orders out Saturday morning the next posting day will be Wednesday as it is public holidays Mon and Tuesday. I'll try and make a start on the Newcastle archive Bus Spot soon, meanwhile my back is still playing me up and I'm probably doing my next course essay tomorrow rather than tidying up the garden and washing the fleet. Photos needless to say from Peterborough I'll bring you Rotherham tomorrow. Comments are closed.
