Turns out, this is the route where they met their partner Wil Saunders.“It’s a bit nerdy, to be fair. My partner is a bit of a trainspotter. We’ve been together about five years and I’ve always been into transport and travel,” they told Mirror. “People make jokes about it but it’s the most reliable bus. It’s such an icon. It’s an iconic thing,” they added.They also explained how they first became interested in the bus route. “When I moved to my first flat in Manchester with Wil, I was obsessed that the bus came every two minutes. I thought it was really cool. We’ve lived in four different areas of Greater Manchester and Stockport and every time it’s been the 192 that’s been my local bus. It gets me to work, it gets me home,” they explained.“Everyone knows it [in Manchester and Stockport]. I like these untraditional tattoos that don’t necessarily have a deep meaning but they mean something cool to me,” they also shared.Take a look at the post that shows Colvin’s tattoo:
