Oh my monocle! *Keels over and faints*

It is Pompous, Zac, Pompous :P

Nice photos Zac, the Second seems a little over exposed (The front of the 100.2 is very very bright!) however. The Second last one is a clear winner, and my favourite out of the lot.

But ... you cbf telling her she was getting on the wrong bus? Perhaps because there was no 900 bus at platform 2 she decided to catch any bus which said 'City Interchange' on the front.

I did actually. I saw her when I was taking the photo so I went over and helped her. The driver of 102 did the same thing. She actually tried complaining about you to that driver telling her that you had told her to go to the wrong platform.

And that's why bus drivers just stop giving a shit. You tell them where to catch the bus from, sometimes even tell them the time it departs and this is the thanks you get.
