And the bus labelled "Worcester - Droitwich Spa - Bromsgrove - Catshill" was supposed to confuse!
The buses are confused. Some of the local fleet in Worcester have been replaced by buses from Wales and Leicester.
12. is Fareham I think.

Much of the bus fleet here in Bath seems to have been borrowed from elsewhere, so I'm used to reading how wonderful it is to be serving such and such town or route, which it obviously isn't doing.

Sorry, but no: 3. is Bristol Temple Meads, Temple Way, at the lower end of the station approach.

3 might be Swansea.

I disagree with his view that it is adequate.
I would agree with you there. It should at the very least be within sight of the station to count.

6. (cough!) Melksham. Not available particularly close to the railway station, however. 
But - perfectly adequate for connection between rail and bus according to the Cabinet Member for Highways, Street Scene, and Flooding. Get off the bus there, walk back over the bridge taking care as you cross the road, down the slope the other side and double back to the station. I disagree with his view that it is adequate.

I’ll pick up No.2 then - Bristol Parkway
Blimey, I should have spotted that....I was only there twice this last week. Never mind, I'll suggest Temple Meads for No.3 instead.

8. Portsmouth, The Hard Interchange.
There's a pub just around the corner where I had a really nice curry many moons ago, The George, but google says it's temporarily closed, unfortunately.

205 to Bow Church ;-) - but spot on with the location. Pictured on a wonderful summer day last year in London, with four of our guests from Ukraine seated at the front, headed off to Baker Street.
You must have been on diversion
. The 205 normally crosses Edgware Road coming out of Praed Street and runs beside the subsurface Underground station before joining Marylebone Road.I am getting old and confused - the memory fades. Perhaps it was the second London trip we caught that we started off on the 205 to see Sherlock's place ... let me look at the original picture ....
Edit - yep, you're right - I thought I had clipped off the "205" from the display above Olesia and Daria's heads but in fact it was "Edgware Road / Praed Street" I had cut off.
