Some insurance geek, a terrorist, or some nutty train spotting type truck freak?

My guess is that he was Stobart-spotting at the bacon factory.

so much for load security if Joe Public can find out where a particular vehicle is going to be at any time :open_mouth:

I’d say security was good on this occasion as it wasn’t where he thought it would be.

Some of the bus and coach spotters are just as bad though there knowledge is often better than mine.When booked to drive to a large event they turn up to watch and photograph the buses ,I was a train spotter in the days of steam cant see much to interest folk in old buses,each to his own though.

When I was a bus driver, we had a few bus spotters turn up at the bus station from Birmingham looking for a specific bus… :open_mouth:
Theres a few photos of me driving buses on the web though… :sunglasses:
