Can you identify where each of these buses is ... the majority are 'in our area' and they all have some sort of rail or railway connection(s) involved.

Is 1 Honeybourne? Pretty sure 4 is Bath. And 6 looks vaguely like it might be York (at least, I know the local services there are run by First).

The fourth picture, with "Private" and "Bus Station" destinations and an FGW▸ (First Great Western) train in the background is, indeed, Bath.  But the first picture is not Honeybourne, and the sixth is not York.

Actually, it was a proper guess! Tongue

I knew I'd seen those houses before, it just happened to be Honeybourne rather than Melksham. Roll Eyes

And looking at number 2, those are the Melksham houses! Cheesy

Yes, 1 is Westbury

Quote from: Timmer on September 15, 2009, 20:04:53
5 York
6 Salisbury
2 Melksham

2 is indeed Melksham, and 5 is indeed York.

Yes, No. 3 is Denton.

Which just leaves no. 6 ... for which I am saying there is a railway connection, but it's less so that the others and some may argue the point.

I wondered ... but having just said that 1 wasn't Melksham (when 2 was), I didn't feel I should/could apply different rules.

6 ... remains ... unidentified.
