From Eldon Square directly opposite we then board the 2010 Stagecoach North East service X78 to Darras Hall (Middle Drive/Sycamore Avenue), arriving there at 2037 on Monday evening.
We next board the 0754 Stagecoach North East service 62 to North Walbottle (North Walbottle Road) that arrives there at 0922 on Tuesday morning.
Which stop on North Walbottle Road? There are five altogether.
We then board the 07:24 Stagecoach North East route 62 service to North Walbottle, North Walbottle Road/Northumberland Gardens, arriving there at 08:53 on a Tuesday.Sorry, Google Maps was not recognising the bus stops by here at all, hence the delay.
I think I've calculated it right, so we walk around the corner to the bus stop by Prestwick Cemetery, where we board the 0707 Go North East 'Indigo' service 42A to Killingworth (Bus Station), arriving there at 0745 on Tuesday morning.

This is the posting from where the quiz should be continued.
Is Northumberland Gardens where we can continue? The 0754 arriving at 0922?

This still remains as the last validly-made posting.
Why have we still come to a halt? We have now worked things out.

I agree, we've removed some of the more extravagant examples.Is there a need for all of this bold and underlined nonsense? We will be having CAPS LOCK shouting next!
Gameplay.....Additional Notes
- If arriving by bus or coach then you should name the area in addition to the stop name.
That is correct. Play can continue but could @Andy Pacer amend his post please?Is the HMRC referred to in the last posting situated in Longbenton?
Trying desperately to get this game going again, we take a 0.5 mile walk to Benton Road/Manor Place, where we board the 08:21 Stagecoach North East service 7 to West Denton/ Lemington Road Ends, arriving at 09:31 Tuesday morning.In an act of desperation to move on, we take the 0755 Arriva North East service 52 to HMRC Benton Park View (Longbenton) arriving there at 0809 on Tuesday morning.
To conclude on recent matters, all of the delays above could have been avoided if we had continued playing. Originally, there was a grey cloud over the area, as there were five stops on North Walbottle Road and it wasn't clear as to which one we were at. After having to do some thorough research as a result, I then found the correct stop along that road (which is very long). In future, if an error is made, I think it would be best to not just strike-through a posting and just allow someone else to pick up the pieces, as that does hold the game up. Instead, correct your move so that there are no delays for next time. Just because you've made an error doesn't mean it's a punishment and you're not allowed to continue!
Moving swiftly onwards, we then board the 1002 Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire 'Cross Pennine' service 685 to Carlisle (Bus Station), arriving there at 1205 on Tuesday afternoon.
Can someone verify if there is joint operation on this route between Stagecoach and Go North East?
I wouldn't worry too much, there's quite a bit of joint operation around, I tend to just plump for one where it's not obvious, no-one's noticed yet!Can someone verify if there is joint operation on this route between Stagecoach and Go North East?
Walking the 0.2 miles to The Courts, we then board the 12:55 Borders Buses service X95 to Hawick, Mart Street, arriving at 14:20 Tuesday afternoon.Moving swiftly onwards, we then board the 1002 Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire 'Cross Pennine' service 685 to Carlisle (Bus Station), arriving there at 1205 on Tuesday afternoon.
Yes, sorry about that. Originally I was picking a specific stop on the bus timetable and posting it. Because I was travelling I was on my phone and therefore not properly checking stuff, hence my error. If I had been on my computer, I would have been able to make a proper move.
I don't think the 685 is a joint operation. It also appears in Arriva timetables, but they don't operate it. A search on Go North East's website for route 685 doesn't give any results.
