We next board the 1520 Warrington's Own Buses service 28A to Culcheth (the bus stop opposite the Library on Warrington Road) that arrives there at 1536 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[-Colly405-]

We stay at this stop and wait a while for the 1624 Warrington's Own Buses service 19 towards Warrington, from which we alight at Winwick (opp. B&Q) at 1640 on Sunday.

We wait for the 1723 Arriva Merseyside service 329 to St Helens (Bus Station), arriving at 1747 on Sunday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

Let's walk for 4 minutes to Central railway station and await 1S74, TransPennine Express's 1829 towards Glasgow, which we take as far as Lockerbie where we alight at 2027 on Sunday.

 

[Bacon_BMW]

We exit the station and board the 2108 Houston’s Minicoaches service 381 to Dumfries (Loreburne Centre), arriving at 2137 on Sunday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

We walk for 7 minutes to the snappily-named Dumfries DG One C (stance C) and await the equally snappily-named Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire's service 79 at 2248. We alight at Annan (stance 2) at 2323 on Sunday evening.

 

[Bacon_BMW]

We walk 8 minutes to the rail station, where we board the 0013 ScotRail service 1L61 to Carlisle, arriving at 0035 on Monday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

Taking advantage of the overnight rule, we await 2C38, Northern's 0553 service towards Barrow-in-Furness, from which we alight at St Bees at 0712 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Can't seem to find much in the way of local buses here, so we board the 0739 Northern service 2C40 to Barrow-in-Furness, arriving there at 0853 on Monday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

I think the next bus at St Bees is in January 2022; I had a peek after I posted it and then regretted it!!!

We now walk the 3 minutes to the Magistrates Courts, stop S, and board Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire service 6 at 0953, alighting at Bowness-on-Windermere (o/s Bowness Pier) at 1050 on Monday

 

[ValleyLines142]

Not entirely sure if this actually exists but we then board the 1130 Windermere Lake Cruises service to Ambleside (Pier), arriving there at 1205 on Monday afternoon.

 

[-Colly405-]

Looks like the boat was in the timetable to run today, so all good...

We take the short walk to the 'Waterhead Hotel for Pier' stop and await the 1220 Stagecoach in most of the North West service 555 to Grasmere, opp Village Hall where we arrive at 1245 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the three minute walk to the Heaton Cooper Studio on Broadgate and there board the 1330 Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire service 599 to Bowness-on-Windermere (the bus stop outside Bowness Pier on Promenade) that arrives there at 1418 on Monday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We take the three minute walk to the Heaton Cooper Studio on Broadgate and there board the 1330 Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire service 599 to Bowness-on-Windermere (the bus stop outside Bowness Pier on Promenade) that arrives there at 1418 on Monday afternoon.

We were just at this location a mere three moves ago, were there not any other places available?

This is the posting from where this quiz should be continued.

 

[-Colly405-]

I was about to post, then realised that the current last post is now actually mine

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the three minute walk to the Heaton Cooper Studio on Broadgate and there board the 1330 Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire service 599 to Troutbeck Bridge (the bus stop near to the Sun Hotel on the A591) that arrives there at 1358 on Monday afternnon.

 

[-Colly405-]

We cross over and walk the short distance to the stop at The Garage, where we board the 1457 service 516. Conscious that most of the extremity of this route is served by no other services, but wanting to see the fantastic scenery, we take it to its terminus in the Langdale Valley at the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel where we arrive at 1546 on Monday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Old Dungeon! Intriguing!

We next board the 1601 Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancashire service 516 to Kendal (Bus Station), arriving there at 1707 on Monday afternoon.

 

[-Colly405-]

Looking at its website there is no mention of it having been a dungeon, just a farm! Strange...

Let's wander over to Stand C at the bus station and board Stagecoach C&NL service X6 towards Barrow, alighting at Grange-over-Sands (Rail Station) at 1752 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1830 Stagecoach Cumbria and North Lancashire service X6 to Ulverston (Library on Victoria Road) that arrives there at 1859 on Monday evening

NOTE....You pipped me at the post as I too had intended to use the service in the above posting above of yours (which incidentally departed at 1715 from Kendal bus station...not shown in your posting) through to Ulverston library, so this posting continues that intended journey on the next bus service.

 

[-Colly405-]

Bus choice is getting limited now without repeating ourselves, so lets walk to the railway station (7 min / 0.3 mile) and await 1P90, Northern's 1913 service towards Preston. We alight at Lancaster at 1955 on Monday.

 

[Andy Pacer]

Next we take the 2030 Northern service to Wennington arriving at 2054 on Monday.

 

[-Colly405-]

The last bus of the day has gone, so we await the last train of the day - 2H84, Northern's 2157 service, which we take to it's destination of Skipton, arriving at 2244 on Monday.

 

[NorthOxonian]

This connects perfectly with the last train of the day from Skipton. We take this 2249 Northern service (2H79) to Keighley, arriving at 2303 on Monday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

Let's walk to the bus station (6 min, 0.3 miles) and board the last bus of the day in Keighley, The Keighley Bus Company's service K3 at 2316 from stand B. We alight at Braithwaite (Coronation Way / Whinfield Drive) at 2325 on Monday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

As I was pipped to the post earlier (never got round to making a new post), and on the basis that this area is only served by the same route, we have no choice but to return in the morning on the 0644 Keighley Bus Company Keighley Jets service K3 to Keighley (Bus Station)*, arriving there at 0655 on Tuesday morning.

* This route serves nowhere other than a loop around Braithwaite.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 0740 The Burnley Bus Company service M4 to Burnley (Bus Station) that arrives there at 0918 on Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0930 Transdev Burnley & Pendle The Witchway service X43 to Prestwich (Longfield Centre), arriving there at 1017 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We cross over to the other side of Bury New Road and there board the 1034 The Blackburn Bus Company service X41 to Baxenden (the bus stop opposite the Bay Horse on Manchester Road) that arrives there at 1121 on Tuesday morning.
