I was looking at taking the 90, but unfortunately First is pretending the route doesn't exist! So instead...

We walk the 7 minutes (0.3 miles) to Queen's Park bus stop to board the 08:42 First Glasgow service 3 simpliCITY to Partick (Bus Station), arriving there for 09:18 on Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We enter the station opposite and board the 0932 ScotRail service 2H44 to Bathgate, arriving there at 1028 on Tuesday morning.

We take the 1102 Scotrail service to Haymarket arriving there at 1122 on Sunday.

Whilst our journeys on Lothian's smart fleet were most enjoyable, we politely reject a second episode and say farewell to Scotland as we board the 1157 CrossCountry service 1V62 to Tiverton Parkway, arriving there at 1933 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 2032 Cross Country service to Newton Abbott arriving at 2108 on Tuesday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We exit the station to the bus stops outside the station and board the 2124 Stagecoach South West service 12 to Torquay (Strand Harbourside), arriving there at 2150 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 2213 Stagecoach South West service 12 to Brixham, Town Square (Stand C) arriving there at 2243 on Tuesday.

 

[DanTrain]

The 12 would appear to be the only service running at this time of night, so we have little choice other than to board the 23:30 Stagecoach South West service 12 to Paignton Bus Station, arriving at 23:45 Tuesday evneing.

I'm using this timetable, not quite sure what the previous two moves used?

 

[ValleyLines142]

I've been using Bus Times and Google Maps, as they appear to be taking into account the latest timetables.

The first train appears to not be until 6.21am, so instead we return in the morning for the 0502 Stagecoach South West service 12 to Newton Abbot (Railway Station), arriving there at 0541 on Wednesday morning.

 

[DanTrain]

Seeing as we love voyagers soooo much, we now decide to board the 06:01 Cross Country service 1S37 to Newcastle, arriving at 12:29 Wednesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We exit the station to the bus stop on Neville Street, where we board the 1241 Stagecoach North East service 1 to Slatyford (Pooley Road/Thirlmere Way), arriving there at 1301 on Wednesday afternoon.

* this is a Sunday service!

I've also been using Google and Traveline as it seems the operators TXC files have been uploaded to show the currently operated arrangements.

I think there's a few discrepencies appearing between Google/Traveline and the pdf timetables although given how up-in-the-air it all is it's probably not worth worrying about!

Walking the 0.3 miles to Eldon Square bus station, we now board the 14:05 Go North East service 21 to Pity Me, Front Street, arriving at 15:02 Wednesday afternoon.

I think as long as we can substantiate our move if challenged then that should be fine even if move to move isn't actually seamless.

We take a 4 minute 0.2 mile walk to Salutation Bus Gate to catch the 1514 Arriva North East service X12 to Sedgefield, Salters Lane/Woodland Mews arriving there at 1555 on Wednesday.

Agreed

That's over a mile away - we were in Pity Me not Framwellgate Moor (the fact that all the main roads round here are called Front Street is a bit confusing)! However, said bus is the 15:12 from Pity Me so it doesn't actually make a difference .

We now board the 16:30 Arrive North East service X21 to Wingate, Fir Tree Inn, arriving at 16:58 Wednesday afternoon.

Must admit I've really struggled to find the correct timetable since the COVID-19 outbreak, and to be honest, I didn't think we'd take it into account seeing as it's an entirely fictional game but I'm not complaining by any means!

We next board the 1752 Go North East IndiGo service 206 to Peterlee (Bus Station), arriving there at 1825 on Wednesday evening.

(re-posted as I got pipped to the post!)

We take the 1836 Go North East service X6 to Seaham, North Rd (Castlereagh Aged Miners) arriving at 1900 on Wednesday.

Strange: View attachment 75970

I think it's measuring from the Front Street stop in Framwellgate Moor which Google appears to have mis-labelled as being in Pity Me (the two do kind of run into each other to be fair).

It's not quite a mile actually but more than half a mile anyway!

We take the 1836 Go North East service X6 to Seaham, North Rd (Castlereagh Aged Miners) arriving at 1900 on Wednesday.

We now board the 19:30 Go North East service X6 to Grangetown Ryhope Road - Carnegie Street, arriving at 19:35 Wednesday evening.

We take the 2224 Metro Green Line service to South Hylton arriving at 2328 on Wednesday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

It appears that all buses have finished for the night, so we can only return on the 2347 Metro Green Line service to Brockley Whins, arriving there at 0009 in the early hours of Thursday morning.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We have a few hours rest before the 0602 Metro Green Line service to Monument arriving at 0620 on Thursday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]
