Title: Re: Eight of the best - or perhaps the most obvious Post by: Hal on October 20, 2020, 11:47:25 Is No.7 London Bridge?

Title: Re: Eight of the best - or perhaps the most obvious Post by: bradshaw on October 20, 2020, 17:46:26 7 agree with Portsmouth and Southsea, under the high level station
Title: Re: Eight of the best - or perhaps the most obvious Post by: grahame on October 20, 2020, 18:17:03 Sadly, it would not be Portsmouth and Southsea

YES ... it's Swindon Bus Station - photograph taken during a delightful wait for the daily National Express coach to Melksham.
