Yep, it most certainly is, Albs.  :y

And to those who think that the Stobart truck "Valentino" is named after Rossi, I thought that all Stobart's trucks were given "girlie" names.

Cue incandescent Albs.  ;) ;D

BTW where are Stobart spotters on the spotting hierarchy?

Top appear to be military aircraft spotters, followed very closely by train spotters, and bus spotters near the bottom.
Yes I have met all 3 types!

That's interesting given the popularity of the Bus Thread, perhaps we should have a Stobart Thread if this is of more interest........Who wants to start it?.... :D :D :D

The memo from Stobart's HQ was that they are running out of girls' names, so they could now use big girls blouses names instead.

 ;D ;D

(Never normally this hard to wind-up Albs!  ;) ;) ;D)

Are military plane spotters at the top of the list because if you do it in the wrong place, wrong time and wrong country you get to eat a lot of porridge  ::) :o :D

Where do "twitchers" fit into the hierarchy?

HUGE difference

Bus spotters and bus enthusiasts are a lot more seperated than train spotters and rail enthusiasts. Most bus enthusiasm is from working on them or childhood memories.

I like old buses but would never do spotting of them.

Possibly plus it seems to be an offshoot of photography.

Train spotting has died down due to the mass use of multiple units and foreign built locos.

Bird spotting - never though about non transport
