He was a good sport compared to others. Such a nice driver

[@brian99ify]

Being filmed or photographed whilst driving is part of the job. Enthusiasts like to see the vehicles in operation which is all part of their hobby. Just give a smile and a friendly wave 😁👋

[@alexthomsonuk]

I quite like finding I've been filmed somewhere. I like to see myself driving my coach as I'm very proud of it.

[@minair99t]

Probably embarrassed by being recorded out on public service with a headlight not working. Wonder if he completed his daily checks properly.

[@MrPomdownunder]

I swear it was working when I left the garage...

[@TheLewmen]

You can film or take pictures of what you like in public and what can be seen from public land

[@MikeGMcDermott]

There's no law on photographing buses, trams or trains from a public area. If the staff don't like enthusiasts they are (a) either in the wrong job or (b) have something to hide, like working whilst claiming benefits etc.

[@TrainsAviation]

Exactly. You just made a good point 👍

[@isaywhatilikeandilikewhati1117]

I was a bus driver for 39 years until retiring a few years ago. The driver featured here is a frustrated "poundland" wish I was a supervisor/trainer type? The type who would end up being assaulted on late shift somewhere! It never bothered me being filmed to the point where I would entertain myself by giving/flipping the finger! lol

[@tobidekker1116]

I hope these drivers watch your videos and see how foolish they look. You can't even see drivers until they get too close for a photograph to become rubbish but in your case it isn't so bad on video either until they come up to you and show themselves up. The lack of understanding that some bus drivers (and in your case the TfGM staff )have nowadays really tears up my insides and makes me feel unconfident about going out with my camera doing what I enjoy. If they are that shy about being on a camera then I suggest they leave their job since they clearly lack the maturity to be in the public eye. The camera only shows what you can see too, if they want to hide from a camera then (to me) something doesn't seem quite right and it suggests that they don't want you and the camera to pick up what they are doing. Anyway that's my opinion and I do try and not be biased but in this case it really is a no brainer.

[@Sameoldfitup]

Thank you at least someone with the Intelligence to see the bigger picture.

[@ChloeCross]

@@Sameoldfitup the thing is, absolutely nobody looks at the drivers on photos or videos. HE has made himself stick right out in this. But I agree with the above comment, I’ve always said that having photos and videos taken are part of the job being a bus driver etc

[@romorobloxkalubi5372]

He didnt know if it was illegal or not your so stupid

[@flipflopfluff3638]

Not sure if it’s legal or not to film buses, I know it’s a legal requirement to have both headlights working though, some one hasn’t been doing their daily checks 😁

[@FiremanSamBoy2008]

It's not illegal, anyone can do it! Don't listen to the drivers that tell people that they can't take photos of their bus.

[@BradleyTheNo1Champion4variety]

Tricky situation, you are in a public place and it is your rights to film buses, you can't see the drivers that clear unless zoomed right in, at least the driver wasn't horrible or nasty to you.

[@noooo_safechat2589]

“It’s supposed to be a free country anyway” No that’s America..

[@paulhodgins]

They film you when you get on the bus!!???

[@jaggass]

Never had a problem filming or taking pictures at bus stations yet.

[@Izzt_09]

Has a No British person i can confirm you cam get insulted by a british person without Realizing, For me it was a really friendly conversation

[@mikeday2129]

Public place no harm

[@juliesmith5567]

If it is for public use daily he should have been let on that means he's meaning mean why didn't the man go to to office and ask and get on he not boss

[@brandon322]

You are allowed to do it but you have at have a permit.

[@Ackerton]

To film in public?

[@welsh.transport]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡

[@tobidekker1116]

You do not need a permit to film in a public place.

[@1peter1180]

no you don't need a permit

[@HastingsBuses]

R u mad

[@Spunksock]

Running with a defect as well what a tool

[@roadmaster935]

Didn't somebody once say that you could get insulted by a British person without even noticing it? For me as a German this seemed like really friendly behaviour for the most part xD

[@davidhirst1007]

as a bus driver and photographer i can say theres no law saying you can't take images from a public place,on private land thats another story.And there's no right to privacy in a public place so he's wrong 100%

[@londonbuses1844]

I know it’s been a while since you posted this but if I’m recording a bus journey and someone directly features in my video is that illegal?

[@ninofromkitchennightmares1497]

But he’s being recorded and that can mean many things😊

[@Tiny-Tim]

You are allowed to photograph and/or video busses however driving a bus with a defective headlight is an offence under the rta.

[@grah84mck]

It’s not a offence that could have just happened before pulling in to the station and for all you know the bus driver called the depot to report this and got it fixed.

[@maproductions9945]

@@grah84mck didnt look like it, had his destination set

[@northessextransportvideos4304]

@@maproductions9945 could have been a running defect, meaning the driver had no clue it had happened as it could have became faulty while in travel... E.G dont always persume

[@maproductions9945]

@@northessextransportvideos4304 dont presume... probably a good idea to not presume it was a defect as well in that case

[@1peter1180]

bus drivers normally object to be filmed if they usually break the rules

[@ChesterBuses]

I take photos at Chester bus interchange and have had no problems yet, same for videoing on the bus

[@Aaron-ef9dz]

Both people seemed respectful of one another. This video could have ended up in a screaming match but everyone was kind to eachother.

[@derekhalford187]

Unless it's an operational military base or naval dockyard of some kind, you're pretty much free to take photos and film to your heart's content. This includes police stations as well (not that I do and I was surprised to read this considering the threat level.).

[@ChilternRailPhotography]

How are you meant to ask a bus driver if you can film them while they a flipping driving

[@TrainsAviation]

Exactly. You just made a good point👍

[@GTLPT]

He was not mad with you but it was a friendly tell off

[@DanielMeakin1]

Yes you are allowed to film buses it's just some stagecoach drivers are a bit sypid

[@coastliner7009]

I wouldnt say there stupid id say there abit misunderstood about the photography act

[@pete904ni]

Not even busses, you're allowed to film anything in public.

[@tobidekker1116]

@@coastliner7009 Well then if they don't understand the rules it is best that they don't get involved and risk getting into trouble.

[@AJPlayzOfficial]

Man: It is valued Also man: *Keeps filming*

[@colinstripreports6752]

Policy on this sort of thing is to just ignore it if your not happy with it. Signing the contract you do agree to the company’s policy’s witch states you will have your photo taken by enthusiasts, I always flash my headlights beep my horn and give a wave. It’s nice to see people doing what they enjoy.

[@Sameoldfitup]

I don't really enjoy it, it's just another symptom of autism

[@robertjohnburton9775]

The less important people are, which is most of us, they cling to their importance

[@visualfrog2389]

This driver is 100% wrong. He cannot expect privacy in public, let alone in a role in the public sector. In the UK, there is no law against filming from a public or publicly accessible place, and consent is not required. Section 33 Criminal Justice Act 1972 defines what a public place is.

[@tonyb1223]

Section 33 of the 1972 CJA is an amendment to section 9 of the 1936 POA, which if I were you, should go and read, both are totally useless regarding where you can photograph or film, but you may find it interesting in what you find you are quoting.

[@thatcodfan7572]

But it is illegal to record and publish it as a public video in the UK, without someones permission.
