If we're stuck then I suggest we use Paul's move and pick a random stop on Churchill Street to continue from.

(This would also have been a good way of dealing with it originally.)

Within the timetable the first stop on Churchill Street at Rosehill, Churchill Street - Stanley Street (N-Bound) is the timed stop so I would say it's reasonable to use here.


We cross the road to Rosehill, Churchill Street (S-Bound) from where we take Go North East 41 service at 1019 as far as Walls End, Station Road (town Centre) S-Bound where we arrive at 1051 on Friday morning.

Not necessarily, because they all had different timings and the four stops could have been more than the permitted 0.5 miles away from each other. But anyway, it has been resolved now....

We take the six minute walk to the bus stop at the Wallsend Centre and board the 1131 Go North East service 42 to Cramlington (Dudley Lane Shops) that arrives there at 1220 on Friday afternoon.

We then board the 1231 Arriva North East 'Max' service X8 to Blyth (Bus Station), arriving there at 1305 on Friday afternoon.
