Spoke to bloke with large suitcase standing outside Pool Meadow, Coventry taking picture of every bus passing under Whittle arch.
He was a Geordie hoping to see an old Stagecoach single decker based at Rugby that started life with Stagecoach North east.

We got chatting and he said he once stood in a bus station next to a bloke who looked familiar taking pictures of Megabuses.
The chap was approached by security who said "have you got permission to take pictures". The chap replied "Yes I gave myself permission as I own the bus".
It was Brian Souter.

The Geordie went on his way to catch a National Express coach home saying he had enjoyed his first holiday in the West Midlands since 1997!
