Does anyone know the situation with this game?

The last few entries all appear to be correct so I would say this is where we are at:

Our single remaining transport option from here today is the 2228 Northern train to Westhoughton, arriving at 2304 Thursday evening.

So to move the game on we walk out of the station to the stop at Westhoughton, Church Street/James Street and take South Lancs Travel 715 service at 23:13 as far as Bolton Bus Station where we arrive at 23:37 on Thursday evening

Well from Manchester Airport we definitely took a service to Lockerbie, the 2000 departure. I even looked at buses from there to plan my next move then all of a sudden we were at Bescar Lane.

Please stick to one destination. Do not change it after as it causes others to get confused when they plan the next move.

Anyway from Bolton we then board the 2345 First Manchester service 524 to Radcliffe (Metrolink Station), arriving there at 0010 in the early hours of Friday morning.

No move to Lockerbie appeared on this board at the time we were travelling to/from Bescar Lane. I'm sure no-one is deleting anyone's posts or changing destinations!
Did you type up the journey then forget to click "Submit"? I've certainly done this before - annoying after spending time doing the research, but it's just bad luck.



Across Cheetham Hill Road at the Huxley Avenue bus stop, we board the 0558 First Manchester service 42 to North Manchester General Hospital (Delaunays Rd) arriving at 0609 Friday morning.

No, it wasn't my journey! We were 100% at Lockerbie.

We take a three minute walk to the bus stop on Central Drive and board the 0625 First Manchester service 52 to Failsworth (Mare and Foal PH on Ashton Road West) that arrives there at 0658 on Friday morning.

We then board the 0714 First Manchester service 52 to Trafford Centre (Bus Station), arriving there at 0900 on Friday morning.

I feel somewhat lost in this part of Flixton, so I will try my best.....

We take the six minute walk to the bus stop at Wibbersley Park and board the 1358 Arriva North West service 247 to Sinderland Green (Sinderland Lane/ Woodhouse Lane) that arrives there at 1421 on Friday afternoon.

That's almost a mile away. Roedean Gardens is off Lytham Road, and is the terminus of the 15.

This is the last valid posting.
