That appears to be it for the evening now, so using the overnight permitted rule, we then say good bye to Lancashire and head into central Manchester where other connections are readily available, as we board the 0500 Transdev 'The Witch Way' service X43 to Manchester (Princess Street/Town Hall), arriving there at 0602 on Tuesday morning.

A trip down south would have been nice at this point, however we've just missed the soutbound Grand Central service down to London, so instead we board the 1540 Northern service to Wakefield Westgate, arriving there at 1609 on Tuesday afternoon.

We decide not to head to the capital just yet, as a CrossCountry service for the South West turns up, so we board the 1623 CrossCountry service to Plymouth, arriving at 2146 on Tuesday evening.
