Canterbury (old version)

Canterbury (old version)

You are correct
That was easier than I anticipated even after I blanked out everything that could possibly give away like the boards at bottom left advertising the long gone and long missed east kent coach tours
The original bus station was demolished and rebuilt along with the surrounding area around the year 2000

Bus is on route 604 to Herne Bay and Whitstable now routes 4 and 6

Open Floor!!

 

[madannie77]

I am surprised that the old bus station was replaced so recently.

Regardless of the blanking out, the bus made me think of East Kent before any other operator. From then on it was merely a matter of finding a photo to confirm my thought.

Anyway, as I can't post anything until tomorrow at the earliest it is open floor again.

 

[madannie77]

Change of plan. I unexpectedly have the time to post one, so let's have something a bit more modern.

 

[DasLunatic]

Coventry. Open floor if correct.

 

[madannie77]

Not Coventry

Bilston bus station?

 

[martinsh]

West Bromwich ?

 

[madannie77]

Neither of the above

 

[DasLunatic]

Birmingham?

 

[martinsh]

Wolverhampton

 

[madannie77]

Neither of those

 

[martinsh]

How about Walsall then ?

All these Network West Midlands built places look the same !

 

[madannie77]

Not Walsall.

It is not a West Midlands built bus station

 

[Buttsy]

Reminds me of Mansfield

 

[madannie77]

It is not Mansfield

Small Heath


Yeah I went a bit bonkers blaking anything that might be identifiable as there were even East Kent coach trip boards visible (a very much missed part of the business IMo)

 

[madannie77]

Not Small Heath.

As no-one has yet been very close, here is a larger image giving a wider view:

 

[martinsh]

Bolton ?

I'm assuming the Blue Diamond is a red herring !

 

[madannie77]

Bolton ?

I'm assuming the Blue Diamond is a red herring !

Either that or the Red Diamond is a blue herring :?.

Not Bolton, but that is the closest yet

 

[cactustwirly]

Shudehill?

 

[martinsh]

Wigan ?

 

[madannie77]

Neither of the above

 

[paulravuslante]

Ah! It's Eccles! I've been there but didn't recognise this bus station at all!

 

[madannie77]

It is indeed Eccles. The Solo is one of those recently transferred from Blue Diamond to South Lancs Transport (YJ56AUH) to be precise and is seen loading on a service 61 journey last Saturday. It confused me at the time, and I thought it might cause a bit of confusion on here.

Over to you

 

[paulravuslante]

Apparently they are rebranding SLT to Blue Diamond North West so it might stay in that livery. Ok, my own pic but might not be as difficult as the last...!

 

[DasLunatic]

Assuming that's a railway on that bridge, so Cardiff?

 

[iantherev]

Assuming that's a railway on that bridge, so Cardiff?

I don't think it's Cardiff.

 

[paulravuslante]

Assuming that's a railway on that bridge, so Cardiff?

What bridge? Lol

I don't think it's Cardiff.

You're right in confirming it's not Cardiff
