Hawick

I'm going slightly left field and I'm going to say Eccles.

That is very left field, as it has already been identified as being in Scotland.

Hawick

Hawick is correct.

Oops, I missed that.

 

[martinsh]

Hawick is correct.

So my two hour bus ride from Carlisle to Gala last year wasn't entirely in vain !!

Try this one

 

[clagmonster]

I think I spy a railway line with OHLE in the background. Basildon?

 

[Ivo]

No chance. The bus stop flag has a GMPTE logo on it.

Following the same suggestion of looking at the OHLE, Hyde?

 

[clagmonster]

You have good eyesight there, Ivo. Apparentaly there is no Debenhams in Hyde, although the map has it appearing a bit further away I wonder whether the railway is on the famous viaduct at Stockport.

Here is a useful research webpage: http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/category_10001_10001_18765_-1 I hope it doesn't count as cheating.

Whereabouts in Stockport ? It's not the main bus station

Travis Brow?

I was tempted to say "Stockport" at first, but thought it was too small...

I actually have pretty poor eyesight - I'm short sighted and wear glasses. However, I do have a bit of a knack for noticing odd little details like that, which does not correspond with my poor sight. This isn't the first such instance of this either.

 

[martinsh]

Travis Brow?

Not Travis Brow (wherever that is !)

This is the main calling point in Stockport for routes which don't use the bus station. [ Some do drop off here before going on to the bus station ]

PS I'm sure Annie knows the answer !

 

[Ivo]

Mersey Square

 

[Statto]

Is Mersey Square classed as a Bus Station though, as i thought it's just a couple of stands on thw A6, which is mainly for the 192, & other services that go down use the A6 through the Town Centre?

 

[martinsh]

Mersey Square

Mersey Square is correct. [As well as the main road, there are drop off stands on right of the picture ]

It doesn't have to be a bus station in name. Just a location in which numerous services provide an interchange with one-another. I have posted a picture that had only one bus stop in the entire facility before now.

 

[clagmonster]

The shelters look SYPTE ish. In fact, I have a feeling from the flag type things that this may be the Earth Centre, behind Conisbrough station.

Cribbs Causeway

 

[Ivo]

Too easy...

Annie wins again.

 

[madannie77]

This one is quite easy as well:

 

[Ivo]

We're not in Worcester again are we?

 

[madannie77]

No we're not.

 

[sonic2009]

Looks to me like Dudley.

 

[madannie77]

Its not Dudley either.

 

[paulravuslante]

Altrincham

 

[martinsh]

Altrincham

D*mn ! beaten to it !

Operator = Starline

 

[madannie77]

Star Line J297NNB, sometime in 1992 (I think, anyway - missing notebook syndrome again).

 

[paulravuslante]

And the next one

 

[sonic2009]

Bromyard?

 

[paulravuslante]

Not Bromyard.
