If you'd spent fifteen years working for National Express or Green

what would you call a coach station?

I did spend 15 years working for National Express actually, funny you
should say that. After I left the railways I moved sideways.

The National Express HQ is, believe it or not, based at Digbeth *Coach*
Station in Birmingham.

Why is that in any way surprising?


Given that some people here seem to think it's surprising to call buses
buses and coaches coaches it seemed possible. A lot of people seem to want
to call coach stations bus stations as well.

Don't know about elsewhere

but Barton Busses in Nottingham(shire) traditionally ran a fleet of what I
would call coaches on their the single decker routes

made getting on and off a full bus rather slow
