Guess the *BUS* Station

[martinsh]

I think it's Farnborough (Kingsmead Shopping Centre) too.

In the uncropped picture you can see half a Goldline E300.

What do you mean "you think" ? You took the photo !!

I should have inserted a in that post...

Of course it was Farnborough. I stepped off the Goldline vehicle just long enough to get a pic of it and a second one for use in this game.

Where next?

 

[Ivo]

Oh yay. A TGM Dart. Before they were taken over they were one of the best operators out there. Now they make most of Arriva look like Brighton & Hove. (My father works for their modern incarnation )

I ought to know this, but I can't place it. It is obviously somewhere under TfL jurisdiction, and being a TGM vehicle is almost certainly in the south-west of London. I shall go with Kingston (Cromwell Road).

Not Kingston.

 

[Ivo]

Not Fairfield either then?

Nope.

 

[Ivo]

Hounslow

This will be my last guess of the night.

 

[gnolife]

Wimbledon? (Floor open if correct)

Hounslow

Getting closer....

Wimbledon? (Floor open if correct)

Not Wimbledon.

 

[Ivo]

OK, one more.

The obvious TGM answer: Heathrow Central.

O/F if correct (I do have more ammunition available though )

Still not quite there, I'm afraid....

 

[martinsh]

Feltham ?

 

[madannie77]

Hatton Cross

 

[paulravuslante]

Hatton Cross

Hatton Cross is the correct answer.

 

[madannie77]

I thought I recognised the odd pattern of the concrete roadway

This is a rather old picture, but the Bus Station hasn't changed at all, apart from a lick of paint and newer buses.

 

[paulravuslante]

Port Talbot?

 

[madannie77]

Not Port Talbot

 

[martinsh]

Falmouth ?

 

[madannie77]

Not Falmouth either.

It is southern, though.

 

[paulravuslante]

Ryde.

 

[madannie77]

Ryde is the place. Couldn't resist posting a picture of the Seaview Services Bedford VAL.

 

[paulravuslante]

Where are we now?

 

[madannie77]

Cymmer

 

[paulravuslante]

Cymmer

Yes (thought that would be a difficult one though)!

 

[madannie77]

Sorry. I worked it out from the advert on the back of the bus and what looked like a rural(ish) location.

I am running out of what I think are difficult ones, so here is one I think is easy. (Famous last words, etc)

I can normally read back-to-front but the refraction and background make it difficult

Damn: I forgot about the reflection

 

[martinsh]

Penistone ?

 

[madannie77]

Not Penistone, but you are in the right county.
