Hi All Most of the time i always get a wave, I dont get many problems, most of the time it s a grumpy look from the driver, it passengers on the bus giving u abuse that tends to be a problem sometimes. That said, I am more of a railway photographer than a bus photographer although i do have a collection of photographs of various bus operators from palces where i have visited etc.. Cardiff /Neath or Weston super mare seem to be some of the best places to photograph buses. I always do my best to avoid area's nr playground or schools etc and has anyone had any problems with passers by giving them abuse? As a PCV licence holder myself, i will always give a freindly wave & a smile if i see anyone taking a photo of a bus i am driving as have drivers i know, one or 2 of them being members of this group thank you anthony
