I'm not going to say beaten, because I wasn't. In fact, the post above was edited eight minutes after I made my post. Still, to keep momentum going, I'll score through this move.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Assuming the post to Clapham was first, we then call it a night before boarding the 0743 Northern service 2Y51 to Shipley, arriving there at 0846 on Friday morning.

 

[Springs Branch]

We walk to Shipley Market Square and board the 0920 departure of Yorkshire Tiger service 737 to Leeds - Bradford Airport (for connections to onward ground transportation!) arriving at 0950 Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

It looks as if dzug2 was beaten by ooo's move on post #5781 upon arrival in Grasmere, but it just took a long time to edit. The removal of the journey to Bowness is, in fact, correct at this point, as we arrived at Lancaster first; however it should not have taken a whole ten minutes to edit a post and then sneak in with a journey to Clapham.

Anyway, from Leeds Bradford Airport, we then board the 1010 Yorkshire Tiger service 757* to Kirkstall (Bridge Road), arriving there at 1029 on Friday morning.

* I wonder if the routes of the buses serving the airport are numbered so in line with the fleet of Boeing aircraft? If so, brilliant!

Not all of us are whizz kids with superfast broadband and modern computers

Or at least that's the way it seems sometimes

I'm not; I think there's better signal on Venus than in my house!

I think a number of bus companies use pseudo-Boeing route numbers for their airport services.
Funny, with the growth of Airbus, that Route 320, 330, 380 etc is not nearly so evocative.

Next is a ride on First Leeds service 33A leaving at 1055 & arriving at Otley (Bus Station) at 1144 Friday morning.

 

[ooo]

Next we take the 1200 First Leeds X84 service to Leeds City Bus Station arriving at 1245 on Friday Afternoon
