Can anyone advise best locations to watch buses in Kettering, Bedford & Cambridge please. Can't find any bus stations on Google maps for any of these 3 places so help appreciated.

Bedford and Cambridge both have big bus stations. Bedford's is at All Hallows, opposite the only large roundabout in the whole town centre, west of the shopping streets.

For Cambridge:

The link takes you to Emmanuel Street, the bus station is just to the top right of the arrow and many other buses stop on that road, if you walk up and down the road it is good to get a few photos but if you want to just get numbers/see them, then you can stand on the corner next to the bus station entrance. Would not recommend photographing from there too much as last time a lot of bus drivers were at the entrance on their breaks glaring at me! ;)

Kettering - two choices:

Stagecoach's depot is on Northampton Road.

Alternatively Horsemarket interchange.

Depot is just down from the Horsemarket stops, signed for the main A43.

I'd also suggest Newland Street at the end near Sainsburys, and the rank of stops there. The other stops in Newland Street are not so clever, esp if you're taking photos

Thanks everyone, off that way this weekend. May go to Leamington Spa as well, any suggestions of places to view buses here?

Cambridge: all the through services use the Emmanuel Street and St Andrews Street stops. All the terminating services use the adjacent Drummer Street station, except for the X5 and the National Express services which use Parkside.
