A brand new one for October, as usual Truvelo rules apply, clues to be handed out if unsolved within a week.

The bus looks like a De Lijn so that would make it Belgium, the car coming in from the left appears to have yellow rear plates so could be Dutch, the car at the junction appears to have white rear plates.

I can't immediately think of a location in Brussels where a bus lane could fit in such a layout, so it could possibly be Antwerpen or Brugge.

Made difficult by the fact GSV doesn't exist in Belgium, but you're on the Brugge ring-road just before the entrance to the railway station heading anti-clockwise.

The railway station is on the right past the lights.

Bah, it appears that I haven't photoshopped the bus enough to put off challengers. :furious:

But you've the right answer, behind myself is this.

When I first saw it I thought of Brugge railway station but when I looked on google maps there was a roundabout where I thought it was so went off looking for similar layouts in Brussel/Antwerpen.

Given the number of times I've been to Brugge I should have just gone with gut-instinct.

The best way to disguise a De Lijn bus is to take the yellow stripe off the front - that's what I went on...

An update provides a new one since October and as always the standard WAI rules apply.

It just looks strangely familiar, such as along the A4 or the Northern Perimeter Road but I can't quite place it.

It reminded me of the Kingsway, Dundee.

But no traffic lights here.

A316/B358 is the correct answer.

Only Truvelo is worthy enough to use that phrase in these parts of SABRE... :shhh:

If we all use the Truvelo rule on all of our WAI's he will never have the chance to use it again. :wink:

Arghh, I knew I knew it, however the mention of heathrow confused me and i thought it was on the A30 but was racking my brains to think of where it was

I use that road a lot but the angle threw me. The palm like trees were also a distraction as I was looking at somewhere on the south coast.

The footbridge is a giveaway - one of the "temporary" ones erected to co-incide with the opening of the M3. I think they're unique to the A316.

Here's another one, same rules apply etc.

P.S. You can't zoom in to read the DLS.

Reminds me of the M50, and I thought from the overbridge at J3, but it's not there. It's quiet enough, though.

Sorry Chris, unfortunately Truvelo has already provided the correct answer. :|
