Guess the *BUS* Station

[madannie77]

None of the above suggestions: further south, perhaps?

 

[Ivo]

Annan?

 

[madannie77]

Annan?

Annan is correct: over to you.

 

[Ivo]

Oh joy. Maybe I'm not so rubbish at my own game after all. If not for having seen a Stagecoach bus to Annan in Carlisle last year I would never known thought to guess it.

Anyway, as with my other ones this is from the 'Net. (Sorry!) I uploaded it before, and took it down again. Note that there is more than one interchange facility in this location, so a clear means of identifying exactly which interchange is required. (This means "Shudehill" and not "Manchester". N.B.: It isn't Shudehill.)

Bury?

 

[Ivo]

Not Bury.

 

[sonic2009]

hmmmm.... is it Vaxuhall?

Not a lot to go on inspector! I can see what I think looks like an Arriva Bus there. All I can come up with is Liverpool Paradise Street.

 

[Ivo]

You can indeed see an Arriva bus. But this bus is not owned by any North West constituent.

Note that to the immediate left [north] of the interchange is a railway station.

Barnsley Interchange?

 

[Ivo]

Not Barnsley Interchange. The full name of this facility, which is *south* of Birmingham, does end in the word "Interchange" though.

 

[gnolife]

um. Does 'F&^ked if I know' count as a valid answer?
Milton Keynes?

 

[Ivo]

It... doesn't. To my knowledge, no location in MK ends in "Interchange", although I could be mistaken.

 

[Nym]

Fooshed? Maybe... You been in the City Centre dark places tonight???

Canary Warf?

 

[Ivo]

Not Canary Wharf, but that is the closest geographically so far.

I will add that the station to the immediate left has a suffix whose name features before the word Interchange in the facility's name. (There is another word after the suffix, and before "Interchange", but I will not kick up a fuss if it is overlooked.)

 

[Nym]

Victoria Coach Interchange

 

[Ivo]

No, but I have to say that the suffix is correct - and there's only one other Victoria south of Birmingham.

If gnolife does not get this he will kick himself because a chance to get me will have slipped away!

 

[gnolife]

Southend Victoria Interchange
Southend Coach Interchange
Bath Coach Interchange
Bath Victoria Interchange
(Pick the correct one out! )

Southend Victoria Coach Station Interchange Central Parkway

 

[Ivo]

No kicking yourself then

The facility's full name is Southend Victoria Gateway Interchange, and it only started operating about ten months ago; it has eight stops. The main bus station is a few hundred metres further south. It has an awkward road sharing system in that both pedestrians and buses have full priority - which has caused some problems...! (Not "Southend Victoria Coach Station Interchange Central Parkway"! )

 

[gnolife]

Ok, this one should go fairly quickly.
and its a google found picture, but I know its the right place.

 

[Nym]

Stalybridge?

Was thinking Greenfeild but Stagecoach don't play there

 

[Ivo]

Well, it's obviously somewhere up your way, and probably in the southern half of Manchester courtesy of the SC bus...

East Didsbury?

 

[gnolife]

Not Stalybridge, and not Greenfield

And definitely not East Didsbury!

 

[Nym]

Denton?

 

[Ivo]

How is a southerner supposed to know?

How does the Southern Cemetery sound? I know I tried it once before...

 

[Nym]

Like it wouldn't have rolling hills in the background

 

[gnolife]

Its not in Greater Manchester.

 

[Nym]

New Mills

 

[gnolife]

New Mills

is right.
