Guess the *BUS* Station

[paulravuslante]

It's not Lancaster and Irvine doesn't have a bus station as such.

Here's a clue, it's a smallish town beginning with the letter C.

Cumnock? (Boo Ivo).

 

[class156]

Cumnock?

Bit surprised it has a bus station, but the Internet indicates it does...

Yes, it is Cumnock.

 

[Ivo]

OK then

I think most of mine have come from Wiki so far, but this does not - it is from Blogspot. More to the point, it's older than me! This picture is from the first few months of deregulation.

 

[gnolife]

Manchester Cannon Street?

 

[Ivo]

Further north than that. It is in England though.

 

[gnolife]

Blackpool?

 

[paulravuslante]

Blackpool? (bah, Gnolife)

 

[Nym]

Talbot Road, Blackpool

 

[Ivo]

Blackpool

and

Blackpool

and

Talbot Road, Blackpool

are all correct. Sorry Paul - two near misses in fifteen minutes.

Seen as it is Blackpool's only proper interchange facility (not including rows of stops on random roads), the naming of Talbot Road is not required. If Blackpool had a second such interchange however, I would have had to disqualify gnolife and Paulravuslante and awarded it to Nym.

 

[gnolife]

I'll pass floor to Paul then.

So Central Coach Station and Promenade Interchanges don't count now? All them places stagecoach use because they don't want to pay Blackpool Council for the use of their bus station?

Shows what I know about Blackpool. You are right Nym. My mistake. I suggest talking this over with Paul and/or gnolife as applicable

I have only been to Blackpool once, and the only one of these I saw was Talbot Road (well, and Rigby Road if that counts ). If we are being pcky you could even consider Cleveleys as necessitating the specific designation of Talbot Road here.

 

[gnolife]

I've already passed floor. Its out of my hands now.

 

[paulravuslante]

I've got one lined up if it helps....(speak within 5 mins on forever hold your peace)!

 

[Ivo]

My bad. Someone will have to get Nym's attention...

I really don't have the best of luck with all things Blackpool do I...?

 

[Nym]

Paul's floor, I'm just being beachey...

 

[paulravuslante]

Very kind of you Gnolife and Nym.

This picture is my own.

 

[Nym]

Cardiff Queen St? (Showing how little I know Wales)
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Hmmm, does Cathays have an interchange?

 

[paulravuslante]

No to both of your suggestions Nym.

 

[Nym]

Am I in the right country?

 

[paulravuslante]

Am I in the right country?

Definitely.

How the Hell does OxtedL do it? Keeping to get the thread data up-to-date is hard work! Now I have a backache! (That's what I've been doing for the last half-an-hour, in case you were wondering.)

As for this pic? I seem to believe that those Metroriders ended up on the 26 a lot, so Caerphilly? (I say this, and back home I have a model of a Lynx MkII on the 26. Some Metrorider that is! )

Not the 26, but you are correct with Caerphilly. Cardiff Bus ran local services in Caerphilly following the collapse of National Welsh. This preceded joint operation with Caerphilly Busways (owned by Rhondda) which became Stagecoach on their purchase of Rhondda and eventually Stagecoach became the prime operator of services in the town.

Photographed when it was Caerphilly Bus Station, but what the local council now prefers to call Caerphilly Interchange.

 

[Ivo]

Two consecutive correct guesses I'm on a roll!

A warning: My access will be relatively limited today (Friday). I have a Uni meeting at 1315 and will be heading straight to Leamington for the Forum Meal afterwards. If you get fed up of waiting for me play an interim game.

For the above reason, I have PULLED this one (0138). The floor is open. I shal re-enter this picture (my 11th) come either a clear open floor I can manage or otherwise my next legitimate turn.

Play on...

 

[deltic1989]

If no-one has any objection I'll take the floor. Another picture from the past.

 

[transportphoto]

Great Yarmouth Market Gate? Open floor if Correct.

 

[deltic1989]

Not Gt Yarmouth, not even within 50 miles of Gt Yarmouth.

 

[martinsh]

Doncaster (South)

 

[Statto]

Rotherham

 

[deltic1989]

not Rotherham and not Doncaster (south), cant say whos closest without giving it away though, safe to say you're both in the right forest, Martinsh is barking up the right tree though.
