Think about all the unique photo opportunities on your doorstep and five minutes down the road - just with the 71 and 78!
How many photo's do you see of buses at Chester Moor?
What about on the new roundabout at the top of Park Road North?
Plenty opportunity for different, unique shots without following the crowds.
Tried Chester Moor, but it's quite busy on the A167 traffic wise. May give it another go one day, when it's perhaps a bit quieter. I daren't take my camera into Fencehouses though.

See I quite like most of the old photos I see, because they're all out and about. I can't flick through photos when it's just photo after photo from the same spot, or worse, photo after photo taken seconds after the previous.
I don't think there's anything wrong with bus station photos though as long as it's part of a variety. Each to their own though.
