Guess the *BUS* Station

[W-on-Sea]

As I (sometimes) work in that accursed place I cam confirm that the nearest thing Dismal Didcot has to a bus station is either the stops outside the railway station, or those near the Orchard Centre shops. Milton Park is a slightly over-manicured business park a few miles towards Wantage, and, confusingly, with an Abingdon postal address.

Although, Ivo, maybe you're thinking of Harwell Campus, another of the out-of-town workplaces near-ish Didcot. There's something that could possibly be described as a bus station there.

Whatever happens, this bus station isn't in Didcot

Didn't that used to be the Atomic Research place? They've done a similar thing with Winfrith round our way, although there's no buses at all there.

 

[Ivo]

Still nothing?

This bus station sees two different operators on a regular basis, and several others (including NX) on occasion. One of the main two is a subsidiary of First.

 

[W-on-Sea]

Schnellzug, yes. And I note in passing that today's edition of the local paper in Didcot has as its main story...proposals to build a bus station opposite the railway station.

No idea where this one is though...

Shepton Mallet

 

[Ivo]

Not Shepton Mallet. Its "Bus Station" isn't much in the way of a Bus Station to be honest (It would still qualify for this thread though.)

Actually, I shall make that another clue. This location has neither "Bus Station" nor "Interchange" in its name.

Anyone? Anyone at all?

This place is no more than 30 miles from the boundary of the City of Bristol.

I already knew that.

Radstock ?

 

[Ivo]

I already knew that.

Radstock ?

Show off

It isn't Radstock though. Another hint would be that this is *not* the main terminus in the settlement it is in.

Random guess (given what we know so far): UWE Frenchay Campus??

Best guess so far. Based on my response, this shouldn't take too much longer.

UWE Glenside Campus?

 

[Ivo]

It has nothing to do with UWE.

Bristol University, Stoke Bishop Halls...

 

[Ivo]

It's nothing to do with Bristol period.

MOD Filton?

 

[Ivo]

You were right to consider Universities.

Now I've done it

Not Filton College then?

 

[Ivo]

It's not in Bristol! (Or the Bristol Urban Area.)

Somewhere in the University of Bath...

 

[Ivo]

Where is the vomit bucket?

It is Taken last Saturday at something like 1300.

They have a full bus turning circle area with three stops for six different routes. Not including the bus station itself it's the closest Bath has to such a facility.

 

[paulravuslante]

Well at least it wasn't guessed within a couple of guesses. From one extreme to another

Bury St Edmunds

 

[paulravuslante]

Bury St Edmunds

Yes, that's the one.

 

[madannie77]

Handy that I was looking at Bury St Edmunds' buses a few days ago in connection with First's withdrawal

Next one from me:

 

[martinsh]

Chesterfield railway station ?

 

[madannie77]

Not Chesterfield

 

[Ivo]

I think I recognise it, but I'm probably wrong :roll:

Windermere?

 

[madannie77]

Unfortunately you are wrong. It is not Windermere. This one is not Cumbria.
