It’s just our bus is due I don’t want to miss it

It’ll be seven million and two once our bus gets here

It’s the largest bus station in the UK
With a thousand buses in and out each day
Heading off all in directions
London, Scotland anywhere
Doesn’t matter where you’re going
There’s a bus from here to take you there
Preston Bus Station
It’s larger than your average bus stop
Preston Bus Station
And it’s also got a multi storey car park on the top
Here’s something that’ll give you a laugh
A bus is twice the height of an
average giraffe
It weighs fifteen tonnes, are you impressed?
That’s the same as five elephants, more
or less
And three buses are the length of a blue whale
Access is good with three subways
And eighty separate bus bays
Single and double deckers use it
In fact between them there’s a 60/40 split…
BOTH
Is that really as good as it gets?
ED
This place is great, you shouldn’t diss it
– sorry correct change only.

What’s the deal with using animals as a scale?

But there’s so much more I want to show you
Like the roof that stops passengers getting wet
Two tickets please –

What time is our bus home due?

Yes – if only one of them was our bus home…

Feels like we’ve been waiting forever

You wait all day then two arrive together
