Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In which British city would you see buses heading to Attercliffe, Brightside, Ecclesall or Intake?

Answer: Sheffield

One of England's larger cities, Sheffield gets its name from the River Sheaf on which it stands. It is famous for manufacturing steel products, especially cutlery.

2. You see buses heading to Barbican, Camel's Head, Saint Budeaux and Stoke. Which British city are you in?

Answer: Plymouth

Two rivers, the Plym and the Tamar, flow into the sea at Plymouth. Its large natural harbour means it has been home to a large part of the Royal Navy for more than three centuries.

3. If you see buses with destinations such as Cullercoats, Longbenton, Scotswood and Walker, which British city are you in?

Answer: Newcastle upon Tyne

Home of the Geordies, Newcastle is a bustling and lively city. It was once a great shipbuilding centre, although this industry has largely disappeared.

4. As you walk along the pavement in this busy British city, buses pass you on their way to Alum Rock, Chad Valley, Hockley and Ladywood. Where are you?

Answer: Birmingham

Britain's second largest city, Birmingham is famous for its "Brummy" accent. Once an enormous industrial complex, it has become more noted for its commercial life, which stems largely from its central position in the country.

5. While you wait for your bus, others pass you by bearing destinations such as Anniesland, Cathcart, Pollok and Yoker. In which British city are you?

Answer: Glasgow

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, though not its capital. The River Clyde gives the city easy access to the Atlantic Ocean. In the Victorian Era especially it was a main trading hub for the Americas, and a thriving centre for shipbuilding and industry.

6. As you stroll towards the docks, buses pass you heading for Crosby, Croxteth, Edge Hill and Old Swan. Which British city are you walking through?

Answer: Liverpool

Birthplace of the Beatles and many other "Scouse" groups of the '60s, Liverpool owes its prominence to its position on the River Mersey and its proximity to the Atlantic. This geographic location made it one of the world's largest trading ports.

7. In which British city would you see buses heading towards Abbey Hey, Hulme, Longsight and Strangeways?

Answer: Manchester

With its growth based on textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution, Manchester was once the greatest industrial city in the world and a major trading port. It has an unjustified reputation for being one of the wetter cities in Britain, since its rainfall is in fact below the national average. Oh, and of course, there's a football team called Manchester United and a band called Oasis!

8. You see buses heading for Eastney, Fratton, Hilsea and North End. In which British city are you?

Answer: Portsmouth

Known to its inhabitants and to sailors around the world as Pompey, Portsmouth lies on the south coast of England, with most of it being built on Portsea Island. It has been a great naval base for eight centuries, and Admiral Nelson's flagship HMS VICTORY, Henry VIII's vice-flagship Mary Rose, and the first British ironclad steamship HMS WARRIOR are all on display to the public here.

9. As you walk from the railway station up the hill to the main shopping street, you see buses heading to Haymarket, Joppa, Niddrie and Portobello. In which British city have you just arrived?

Answer: Edinburgh

Edinburgh, or "Auld Reekie", is Scotland's capital. Situated on the Firth of Forth, and built around several volcanic plugs, it is a city with great architectural heritage, a long and bloody history, and a thriving cultural life. This cultural life is especially prominent in the late summer when the Festival, the Fringe and the Military Tattoo bring visitors in the thousands from all over the world. Oh, and it's a fairly exciting place to be on New Year's Eve too!

10. As you stroll along by the harbour, buses whiz by heading for Clifton, Hotwells, Saint Pauls and Temple Meads. In which British city are you?

Answer: Bristol

Bristol was one of Britain's great trading ports and one of its most influential cities for many centuries. It began declining only after the slave trade was abolished, and the Industrial Revolution saw it overtaken in importance by the manufacturing centres of Manchester and Birmingham. It prides itself as the cultural and educational hub of the South West of England.
