I've been playing a rather amusing game on MSN tonight, specifically a variant of transportphoto's famous Guess the Station... Guess the Bus Station! It works just like Guess the Station, only it uses bus stations instead of railway stations.
As is true in Guess the Station, whoever guesses the previous location correctly has the floor, unless they call an Open Floor in which case anyone can take it. Before we start though, only locations on either the mainland of Great Britain or otherwise the Isle of Wight are permitted - so no Great Victoria Street in Belfast. Sorry! Also, to qualify, a place does not necessarily have to be a bus station in name, but it must function like a bus station, i.e. be a location at which many different routes congregate in an Interchange facility.
N.B.: Only bus stations that have been in use in the deregulated era, i.e. on or after 26 October 1986, are permitted for this game. However, bus stations that have been demolished since then are allowed. This includes any temporary bus stations used during construction works of new facilities. The actual photos however can date from any time.
N.B.: Where only one such facility exists the name of the town or city will suffice, except where the name of the area is not considered affiliated to the bus station name in any way. In locations that have more than one facility however the exact name must be provided.
N.B.: There is NO OBLIGATION to include a bus in any picture. However, it is recommended in instances that are not clearly bus stations to avoid any potential confrontation.
Anyway, let's see how this goes! Unlike in Guess the Station, I will be open to using pictures from the Internet - at least until I have some ammunition anyway. I'll start things off with an easy one to get things going...
