TRIVIA:- Food related bus destinations.

[Ken H]

I am sure there must be buses with destination Weston-SOUPer-Mare.

The 126 goes to Wells. via CHEDDAR.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Denby Dale for the giant pies (Yorkshire Tiger 233)

 

[Cowley]

There must be plenty of buses that serve cheesy places like - Wensleydale, Leicester, Stilton etc.
Can’t find a bus that serves The South Hams, Eggesford and Chipping Norton though.

Frittenden in Kent sounds like a good place for a fry-up: I don't know whether it has a bus route, though. You could wash it down with Beer.

Kicking myself that I didn’t think of Beer...

 

[InterCity:125]

There’s a bus stop in Filton called McDonald’s but that’s just the name of the fast food chain next door...

Are we allowed to include places where a service simply stops, or does the place name specifically have to be shown on the destination blind/screen?

A couple of food related ones:
Arbroath (smokies - yum)
Buckie (periwinkle)
Dundee (cake)
Nairn('s) (oatcakes)

I think I might be pushing it a bit with Huntl(e)y & Palmer...

And I know it specifically says food in the thread title, but if I may be cheeky enough to include a few beverages, there's scope for quite a few more:
Aberlour
Dufftown
Macduff
Tomintoul

First Huddersfield 373: Almondbury.

 

[SUB62]

A few I can think of in Halifax there is Rye Lane and Hopwood Lane. In Leeds Bramley (apples), I'm not sure if you can still get a bus to Boddington Hall for the thirsty students. If they prefer tea so as not to damage their Liversedge they could boil their water in Kettlethorpe. In Bradford there is Buttershaw and Saltaire, though I think that is now just a via point.

The 126 goes to Wells. via CHEDDAR.

At the moment Cheddar is a destination due to the closure of the A371 at Hayridge with the 126 diverted and shuttle buses operating to cover the gap. Only just realised how appropriate Wells was a food (drink) related destination.

PORThCAWL- Cawl is a soup, broth or stew depending on where you look.
Dinbych-y-PYSGOD, meaning fortlet of the fish (Tenby).
FISHguard.
PUFFIN shuttle!

 

[ValleyLines142]

In Bristol there's also the 43-45 which go to Cadbury Heath.

Then you've got CHIP-ping Sodbury on the South Glos Lynx network.

 

[Whiteway215]

Codford
Bere Regis
Lyme Regis
Clove-lly
Lambridge (on Bath city service 3/3A)
Appledore

While not so prevalent now there is also staff transport. Long closed Hales Cakes of Clevedon operated their own fleet of buses. While painted on some vehicles an internet search does show it on a blind.
I used to drive a coach that had "Chivers" on the blind installed by a previous operator. I assume they had a contract with the jelly manufacturers.

Peasedown St John (near Bath)

There used to be a Rye Lane garage in Peck(ish)ham too.

Branston.

Have not seen any mention of Fishguard on here yet. Meanwhile both the buses in my locality serve the Bristol suburb of Shirehampton.

There's a PEASCOD Street in Windsor, though I don't know whether it sees bus services. I think I might call BINGO with that one
