We have nearly an hour to wait, but luckily the local Spar shop sells coffee so we are refreshed somewhat before boarding the 10:06 Arriva Bus service to Stokesley, where we arrive at 10:26.

On this quiz, we normally show both the service number of the bus used in postings made and the stop at which it arrived at and we always end postings with the "running quiz-day-of-the week"......It looks like you have used service 28A to Stokesley (High Street) that arrives there on Thursday morning.

We next board the 1048 Arriva North West service 81 to Guisborough (Market Place/ Westgate) that arrives there at 1126 on Thursday morning.

All the local buses have long departed and the local B&B only gets three stars so we decide to catch the 22:59 Scotrail service to Dundee, arriving at 23:48 on Thursday evening.
