Nobody has guessed for 2 days. Nor a Correct Answer given.]

Here's an Image

Bracknell

 

[sonic2009]

Correct

 

[Ivo]

The colour scheme gave the game away.

The old Bath Bus Station?

 

[Ivo]

Nope.

Remind me to ask for every bus station you've never been to and then deliberately choose one of the most obscure :roll:

There are many I've not been to which I recognise from too many years looking at too many books.

Anyway, my next offering:

 

[blackettstreet]

jarrow?

 

[madannie77]

Not Jarrow - it is south of there (not that there is much help in that nugget of information)

 

[Deerfold]

Sutton in Ashfield?

Not Sutton in Ashfield either.

The old bus station in Chesterfield?

 

[madannie77]

Chesterfield is right. Do you know which old Bus Station, though - there were two.

 

[Welshman]

The "newer" old one, if that makes any sense? Before the Coach Station was built on the site?

I have no photos available, so open floor.

That's the one: it was New Beetwell Street, basically the East Midland Bus Station. The other one was Chesterfield Transport's Bus Station on Vicar Lane.

I new I'd seen it in my Notts Days - I just didn't go far enough North (and yes, I know Chesterfield is Derbyshire).

Open floor?

OK...

Keighley

Keighley

Bu**er.

Yes.

I had a feeling that might happen.

Keighley I visit quite frequently, taking advantage of the Dales Railcard winter offers, so it was almost instant recognition.

Another one:

Is it Dinnington, S Yorks?

PS apologies for leaving the thread dead earlier, had work call outs then problems accessing this site!

The metrobus was pictured at High Spen bus station near Winlaton, on a tour of old Tyne and Wear haunts just after entering preservation.

Not Dinnington, but not too far away.

I was completely stumped by the Metrobus shot. I got as far as deciding it was after purchase for preservation, but had no idea where it was.

Got it- Mexborough


Not too obscure this one, not a bus station but fits the criteria-

Urgh. Befouling the great Lynx with that monstrocity of a livery. Take it away; take it away!

Richmond (North Yorkshire)

 

[Zamracene749]

Richmond it is, with the lovely J656UHN (Last United Lynx at Darlington?) in the company of Proctors of Bedale/ Dales and District Merc T61 AUA

 

[paulravuslante]

No idea if this is easy or difficult. Guess we'll have to see....
