Arriva London route 466: Addington Village - Caterham-on-the-Hill
East Croydon Station (E6)
The driver was waving at me when taking this photo. At first, I thought it was an enthusiastic wave, making me think, 'Ooh, what lovely drivers down South London.' However, he honked his horn (alliteration haha) very loudly in aggravation, followed by a wagging of the finger as if to say 'No no no'.
Now, without swearing, let me make this quite clear as I was angered by this moment because of the uncomfortable atmosphere he produced, also making passers-by look at us. Now, unless he is Alexander Dennis or Arriva, no-one has the audacity to tell me when or when not to take a picture of a bus. And if it is because his face may be shown in the picture, wear sunglasses or a flipping mask; no-one would pay attention to that face anyway. And instead of creating attention by everyone, he should be driving because it is a green light now and there are other bus drivers in buses behind who would like to keep up with their schedule.
Now I have a lot of respect for bus drivers because they always get abuse when they are, most of the time, the innocent party. But when they are in the wrong, I will tell them straight. He's lucky I did not open the flap and press the red OPEN button next to the entrance doors, because he would not have liked my reaction, trusss me.
