Hey guys,

I have a few hours to kill tomorrow and thought I'd take a drive to Peterborough to go and get some numbers. I know Queensway is the main place to get numbers but has anyone get any other good places to spot where I might not see the same traffic that comes through Queensway.

Thanks

Alistair

The bus station is at the Queensgate Centre, all buses pass through there. It is double-ended though so may entail some dashing around to catch everything!

I can attest to the bus station being the best spot. I had to do a rush-job on my passport in 2013 so went to the Passport Office and then had four hours to kill before I could collect. The south end of the bus station is better for photography light/composition but you will miss out on a few that enter/leave from the north. But in 2013 at least, the interesting stuff (Delaine, First Eastern Counties etc) seemed to at least exit via the south end so that's where I'd be inclined to plant myself.
