At the risk of broadening it out into "Bus Naming Nostalgia"...
The main bus stop in Shildon in County Durham has always been called the Hippodrome. The fascinating website about old cinemas tells me (
http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/26543) that the Hippodrome cinema opened in 1911 and closed in 1962, becoming a bingo club. That continued until 1993, but it was demolished in 1994.
