The Transport Game

[dzug2]

Not wishing to travel on any unfathomable Welsh buses, we continue on the 0913 ATW service to Crewe, arriving at 1103 SUNDAY morning, surely

 

[Trainfan344]

Not fancying risking a +2 connection we patiently wait an hour for the 12:01 Virgin Trains service to Wolverhampton arriving there at 12:32 Sunday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to head westwards and board the 1242 ATW service to Machynlleth that arrives there at 1446 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[ModernRailways]

After grabbing some food, we board the 1500 ATW service and travel all the way to Porthmadog arriving at 1647 on a nice Sunday afternoon

 

[dzug2]

We note with some regret that it is too late in the day for a ride on either of the heritage lines so we return on the 1800 ATW departure and travel to Dovey Junction, arriving 1942 Sunday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

This late time on Sunday evening at Dovey Junction railway station is not exactly to be on the transport hub of the west coast of Wales, either by bus, train, packhorse, etc, so we resign ourselves to a short onwards journey by rail and we next board the 1954 ATW service to Caersws that arrives at 2033 on Sunday evening.

HOLD

And best ask now - we treating Monday as a bank holiday or a normal day?

My posting has now been amended accordingly.....I am not having a very good 24 hours, am I...

As the coming Monday is not a Bank Holiday (it was the Monday already gone), this will not affect matters, as we do not revert to retrospective dates on this quiz, but on the days forward of the "quiz day".

 

[dzug2]

Onward travel is still open to us so we take the 2216 ATW departure westwards, arriving at Borth at 2307 Sunday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2343 ATW service to Machynlleth that arrives there ao 0001 on Monday morning.

 

[dzug2]

Up early for the 0547 ATW departure for Telford Central arriving at 0751 Monday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A run along the North Wales coast line beckons, so we board the 0759 ATW service to Deganwy that arrives at 1021 on Monday morning.

 

[Welshman]

I feel an "unfathomable Welsh bus " beckoning!

From outside the station, we board the 1029 Arriva Cymru service X5 to Abergwyngregyn, where we arrive at the Lloch. just off the A55 at 1059, Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Deciding to head for an major local omnibus hub, we board the 1129 Arriva Cymru service X5 to Bangor bus station that arrives there at 1141 on Monday morning.

 

[Welshman]

It's then an easy connection on to the 1200 Padarn Service 6 to Bethesda, where we alight at Rhes Ogwenn Terrace at 1230 Monday lunchtime.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1330 Padarn Bus service 6A to Mynydd LLandegai (Llwybrmain) that arrives there at 1337 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Welshman]

Not a lot to do except board the 1513 Padarn 6A back to Bangor Garth Rd[Bus Station], arriving 1549 Monday tea-time.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

An opportunity to visit Ynys Mon is now presented to us from this location, so we board the 1615 Arriva Cymru service 62 to Amlwch (Co-operative) that arrives there at 1711 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Welshman]

An opportunity to visit Ynys Mon is now presented to us from this location, so we board the 1615 Arriva Cymru service 62 to Cemaes Bay (High Street Post Office) that arrives there at 1711 on Monday afternoon.

Sorry - I think that should be Amlwch Co-Op at 1711! [According to the Ynys Mon Council website, the 62 does not extend to Cemaes Bay]

 

[dzug2]

Sorry - I think that should be Amlwch Co-Op at 1711! [According to the Ynys Mon Council website, the 62 does not extend to Cemaes Bay]

Not at that time of day, but we can continue to Cemaes Bay at 1841 on the 62, arriving at 1853 Monday evening


I dunno - you go away for a day and look where it lands you up - in that blasted isle you were trying to get away from

 

[Welshman]

We then board the next Arriva Cymru 62 back to Amlwch at 2018, arriving at the Co-Op at 2030 Monday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We continue at 2224 on the 62 and travel to Moelfre bus station arriving at 2243 Monday evening

 

[Welshman]

As we can't get straight back on to the bus from which we've alighted, there's nothing to do but wait for it to return from Bangor, and surprise the driver as we then reboard the Arriva Cymru 62 at 2353 from Moelfre. Not wishing to go back again to Amlwch, we alight at Penysarn at 0003 Tuesday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We somehow pass the night away and catch the first (west?)bound 62 service next day at 0814, and travel to Cemaes Bay Gadlys Hotel Turn, arriving at 0933 Tuesday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

According to the Ynys Mon Council website, the 62 does not extend to Cemaes

On Monday to Friday, the Arriva 62 timetable that I looked up shows three morning services to there and also three evening services arriving there at 1853/2018/2211.

My posting has been amended as requested.

We now have a while to wait so find somewhere to get a tea. Back to the stop we arrived at we join the 10:37 Lewis Y Llan service 61 which transports us to Holyhead (Railway Station) arriving at 11:21 on Tuesday morning.

Time to traverse another area of Ynys Mon as we board the 1151 Arriva Cymru service X4 to Rhostrehwfa (Gorwel Deg) that arrives there at 1228 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

Onwards from here we board the 12:45 Padarn Coaches service 42 and alight at Dwyran [Post Office] arriving 13:18 on Tuesday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide next to visit a settlement with much historical association, so we board the 1426 Padarn Bus service 42 to Aberffraw (Bodorgan Square) that arrives there at 1446 on Tuesday afternoon.
