Guess the *BUS* Station

[W-on-Sea]

Not close.

 

[Schnellzug]

Not my pic, but here's another one I have local knowledge of. Any takers?

Exmouth?

 

[W-on-Sea]

Still not close. Sorry! It is a coastal town, though.

 

[Ivo]

St Andrews

I seem to recall you went to University there?

 

[W-on-Sea]

I was, but the bus station there is much more modest than this one.

 

[Ivo]

Dundee?

Next he's going to say that it's not Scottish either :roll:

 

[W-on-Sea]

Not Dundee, but I do concede that's its Scottish. (The word "stance", rather than "stand" is a bit of a giveaway, I think, in that regard)

 

[gnolife]

Falkirk?

 

[Ivo]

Ayr?

You something is wrong when the five-character requirement afflicts a bus related thread

 

[W-on-Sea]

Not Falkirk.

Nor Ayr! I'll see if I can up with any clues that are helpful but not too obvious...

 

[gnolife]

Kyle?

 

[Ivo]

Peterhead?

Kyle?

Why would a town of Kyle's size have a bus station? :?

 

[Temple Meads]

Kilmarnock?

 

[gnolife]

I don't know. Its in the general theme of wild potshots (I don't particularly know Scotland that well, I've only been a couple of times)
Inverness?

 

[W-on-Sea]

None of the above.

This town does have a Scottish League football team, who play in the same division as teams in at least three of the incorrect guesses so far.

 

[gnolife]

Alloa?

 

[W-on-Sea]

No, it's on the coast. It's the sort of place where you might hear some talk of dancing on the streets, I suppose.

Also, the town's most famous son is an economist, who (possibly incongruously) has a public theatre named after him there.

 

[Ivo]

I think we can safely say that this is the thread's first truly difficult location.

Kirkcaldy?

 

[W-on-Sea]

Well, to be fair, there were few clues in the picture (at least once I'd blocked out the name of the shopping centre nextdoor.) But, yes, Kirkcaldy. (Bonus points if you pronounce it correctly)

 

[Ivo]

That took long enough 'Twas the first one to hit double figures!

Before I finally said Kirkcaldy I had had 13 straight incorrect answers hock:

See what you make of this one...

Post #200 - in barely 24 hours!

Will be back to check a bit later.

 

[Schnellzug]

Not Dundee, but I do concede that's its Scottish. (The word "stance", rather than "stand" is a bit of a giveaway, I think, in that regard)

I noticed "Stance", but I thought that had been Shotophopped to mislead.

Oakham?

 

[Ivo]

That... was a long shower

It's not Oakham. Or anywhere else that begins with a vowel. But it is in England, and not in the Home Counties either.

 

[150222]

Bootle? (if it has one?)

 

[Ivo]

Bootle does have a bus station, and it's not a bad guess either! Not correct though.

 

[150222]

Runcorn?

 

[Ivo]

Not Runcorn.

A little warning: My Internet is playing silly buggers again. I've also got some planning to do (for a certain meet next month )...

 

[150222]

Heswall?

 

[Ivo]

The two last guesses have been on the correct side of the Mersey. And I will add that there is a direct rail connection to Liverpool available within half a mile.

 

[martinsh]

that is Birkenhead Woodside
