3. Taunton.

The new (11/01/2016) Webberbus Taunton Town services in direct competition with First. The bus war (well, skirmish) in Taunton continues.

I've seen it all before. Town routes have seen competition in the past but ultimately one operator will (I predict) prevail.

5. Cambridge Busway - a Stagecoach bus - hard to say exactly where, but from what's been posted it's presumably the Science Park.

Correct answers all written in - location on Cambridge busway a logical guess, but not the Science Park.
