We next take the 0330 LM service to Berkhamsted that arrives there at 0358 on Wednesday morning.

Backhanded isn't a station

Not too long of a wait, then we catch the 04:59 London Midland Service to London Euston arriving at 05:35 on Wednesday Morning

Once again, we note that LM have an early morning service that terminates in the northern reaches, so we board the 0604 LM service to Tring that arrives there at 0646 on Wednesday morning.

"This is Tring, where this service terminates"

Time to get off the WCML as I am bored of trundling up and down on 350s, so we board the 07:15 Departure to Birmingham New Street arriving at 09:01 on Wednesday Morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to head to the South West and board the 0920 XC service to Totnes that arrives there at 1218 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Rich McLean]

A short walk up to the main road to the bridge over the railway line, which will take around 5 minutes from the station, where we board the 1247 First Devon & Cornwal Service X80 to Plymouth Brentonside Bus Station arriving at 1341 on Wednesday Afternoon

Blessed are those with good memories, for they shall recall the oft repeated rule on this quiz concerning "walking".....

Game moves

Walking
You may not walk between stations of the same mode although you may walk to a different bus stop at the same location for example by crossing the road in order to travel in a different direction. You may also walk when changing modes but only to a stop serving the same location.

Here endeth the lesson for today.

 

[Rich McLean]

The road is practically next to the station, but alas, a different move will have to be made

From outside the station on the Forecourt, we take the 1318 First Devon & Cornwall service X81 to Dartmouth Pontoon, arriving at 1400 on Wednesday Afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1420 First in Devon and Cornwall service 93 to Kingsbridge bus station that arrives there at 1522 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Rich McLean]

We now have a little while to wait, before we board the 1530 First Devon & Cornwall service 93 to Elburton School, arriving at 1616 on Wednesday Afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Being mindful of the timing restrictions of the five-minute connection stricture, we now take the short omnibus journey onwards by boarding the 1630 First in Devon and Cornwall service 7 to Plymouth (Mayflower Street) that arrives there at 1640 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Rich McLean]

We now board the 1649 Plymouth CityBus service 8 to Royal Parade, Plymouth, arriving at 1654 on Wednesday Afternoon

 

[High Dyke]

We don't have too long to wait, enough time in fact to find the correct stop on Royal Parade, before boarding the 17:07 Western Greyhound 572 service to the settlement of Looe (Bridge) arriving at 18:11 on Wednesday.

Can I clarify that your destination was East Looe (Bridge). If this be the case, we spend a little time exploring that area, before returning to the bus stop to visit a known tourist area and board the 1914 Western Greyhound service 572 to Polperro (Crumplehorn) that arrives there at 1939 on Wednesday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We return to Looe - this time to Looe Bay Holiday Park - on the Western Greyhound 572 that leaves at 2013 and arrives at 2045 Wednesday evening

 

[High Dyke]

Can I clarify that your destination was East Looe (Bridge).

The timetable just said Looe (bridge), but did also mark it as adjacent to the Railway Station. Yes that would be East Looe. I hope that clarifies matters.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We return to Looe - this time to Looe Bay Holiday Park - on the Western Greyhound 572 that leaves at 2013 and arrives at 2045 Wednesday evening

We note that there is one final "summer service" bus service of the day from the holiday park which allows us to use a visitor pass to avail ourselves of the evenings attractions there before boarding the 2245 Western Greyhound service 572 to Killigarth (Manor Turn) that arrives there at 2306 on Wednesday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We wait for the 572 to come back from Polperro before catching it at 2315 to ride back to East Looe Bridge arriving at 2325 Wednesday evening

 

[Rich McLean]

We find somewhere to stop for the night, we hit the train station first thing, to catch the 06:37 First Great Western Service to Liskeard arriving at 07:05 on Thursday Morning

The railway station bus stop should be Looe, Railway Station.

Relevant rule from the first post by Zoe.

I have crossed mine out. The East Looe Bridge on the Western Greyhound Timetables, has a railway symbol on it. But in this case a bus will be taken

As there are no further buses, we await until the morning, we we board the 0715 Western Greyhound Service 572 to St Budeaux Square, Plymouth, arriving at 0809 on Thursday Morning

As there are no further buses, we await until the morning, we we board the 0715 Western Greyhound Service 572 to St Budeaux Square, Plymouth, arriving at 0809 on Thursday Morning

We see that the location is served by numerous local bus services, but observing the minimum connection time allowed we board the 08:15 Western Greyhound 593 service to Liskeard Parade (Post Office) arriving at 08:50 on Thursday morning.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A change of direction sees us board the 0850 Western Greyhound service 593 to Bodmin (The Shire House Mount Folly) that arrives there at 1000 on Thursday morning.

 

[High Dyke]

We have used this smaller cornish operator on previous journies and always enjoyed the experience. So much so we continue with them as we board the 10:40 Western Greyhound 555 service and alight at St. Issey (Church) arriving at 11:15 on Thursday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We wait for the 555 departure in the other direction at 1140 and travel to Bodmin General (for steam railway hint hint) arriving at 1213 Thursday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We enter the heritage railway station and find that this is a "Lilac timetable day", so we board the 1300 Bodmin and Wenford Railway service to Boscarne Junction that arrives there at 1315 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

We have a while to admire the station and the atmosphere it conveys before joining the next departure, the 13:25 Bodmin & Wenford Railway service to Bodmin General arriving at 13:42 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Having enjoyed two journeys on this heritage railway, we avail ourselves of refreshments and spend a little time on the station site before making our way out to the bus stop outside to board the 1442 Western Greyhound service 555 to Padstow (Old Railway Station) that arrives there at 1527 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We catch the 1635 Western Greyhound 556 service (the 1535 being barred to us as it's a through bus from the 555) and arrive at Newquay Station Burger King at 1746 on Thursday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We cross the road to the bus stop opposite and board the 1754 First in Devon and Cornwall service 88A to Mitchell (Pillars Close) that arrives there at 1816 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[High Dyke]

Shockingly First Bus seemed to have forgotten this corner of Cornwall as we watch the last bus depart (being the one we arrived on), and so early in the evening as well. It means a bit of a wait, but luckily Western Greyhound think more of the public when it comes to transport.

After having a walk around the area we return to the stop we arrived at and board the 19:48 Western Greyhound 592 service and enjoy the tour of the countryside, eventually alighting at Cubert (opp Post Office) at 21:13 on Thursday.
