It is on BusTimes but you need to be a detective!!!
Once at 'Manchester City Centre', click the line colour name, then click on the stop (as no times are shown, whereas you would have the full timetable for today on this page on a bus route) and then select the day and time for details of each individual journey...

The relevant journey is 1203, arriving at 1221, so not a bad guesstimate

 

[-Colly405-]

• You may not re-board the service just used in the previous post

Rule clarification needed. Although we may not rejoin the same service, does this count even if it’s formed of a different vehicle? The service we have just left has just terminated and the only service here for the night is the Rainbow One, so I’m not sure if it’s a valid move to join the next service (originating from Ripley) of the same route number.

If it’s permitted, we will join the 21:57 Rainbow One service to Kimberley library, (SW bound), arriving there at 22:05 on Wednesday.

If it’s an illegal move the next poster may feel free to discount it and continue from Eastwood Library

 

[ValleyLines142]

Yes, this is fine. Even if its the same vehicle forming the returning service then that's also fine but in this instance we're just using a different timed service.

We next board the 2235 Trent Barton Rainbow One service to Radford (Peveril Street), arriving there at 2253 on Wednesday evening.
