We then board the 1946 Arriva North East 'Sapphire' service X21 to Bridlington (Red Lion), arriving there at 2007 on Monday evening.

It is quite some distance from Ashington to Bridlington, so even if the "Sapphire" bus on the X21 route has special booster power, I very much doubt that such a journey could be made in only 21 minutes.

Gameplay

• So the game remains realistic, you should use the current timetable for the relevant day not including timetable variations for engineering works.

I note this extract from the quiz rules section covers the actual real-life scenario of what is happening at Liverpool Lime Street railway station.

This was the link I used, using the working timetable. I thought that was right. Anyway I’ll wait until the game is back down south a bit before posting another move.
