Radcliffe bus station was moved 50 yards so a Lidl could be built and Asda is across the road.
Wells already mentioned - #6I seem to remember the old Gloucester Bus Station having a Tesco right by it with a store entrance at the bus station end.
Pool Meadow Bus Station in Coventry has a Sainsbury's virtually next door.
Wells Bus Station has a Tesco just across the road.
Not sure if it counts but Bluewater Bus Station is immediately adjacent to a Marks and Spencer.
Doesn't Canterbury Bus Station also have a supermarket across the road or am I thinking of the shopping centre (The name Fenwick rings a bell as I once was instructed to wait for someone there after arriving on an NX coach).
Sandown bus station feels remarkably like three or four bus stops outside the Co-op.
Chepstow bus station (actually a lay-by with no facilities other than shelters) is adjacent to M&S Foodhall. The shop has also been occupied by the Co-Op and at least one other supermarket.
That was previously Somerfield and was built on the old bus station site
Whitefriars Shopping Centre is next to Canterbury Bus Station. There is a Tesco Metro in the shopping centre from which you can see buses in the bus station but that appears to be clutching at straws.Doesn't Canterbury Bus Station also have a supermarket across the road or am I thinking of the shopping centre (The name Fenwick rings a bell as I once was instructed to wait for someone there after arriving on an NX coach).
To be fair, it was before my time as well I think it was redeveloped in the mid/late 1980s. Judging by the photos I've seen, it was an open air arrangement with some scabby barriers and shelters https://www.flickr.com/photos/tarqu...anU8-7119Vq-qwLPP3-6ZWbe6-6ZZVs3-HyiKM-pY8KguThat's interesting. Way before my time in the area, obviously.
Probably. I knew it began with S and was on the Isle of Wight.Sandown? Do you mean Shanklin which was built on the site of the old bus station and depot?
Somerfield and Coop actually built a number of their larger stores in places like Monmouth, Cinderford and Lydney specifically next to bus stations (or on them!) because of their target demographic.
Others off the top of my head are Andover (Lidl), Seacroft inLeeds (Tesco), Ripon (Sainsbury’s), Bicester (Sainsbury’s), Bishop Auckland (Aldi), Middlesbrough (Sainsbury’s), Alnwick (Morrisons), Ashington (Asda), Darlaston (Morrisons), Wells (Tesco).
Sure there’s plenty more
I dunno if you can call Darlaston a bus station, but either way, it's actually next to Asda.
There's also Halesowen which is right next door to the Asda there, and Bilston is very close to Morrisons.

How many bays do need for a stop to be classed as a Bus Station?
One!
Monmouth bus station has one stand!
Walsall is next to a fairly big Tesco Store.
