We take advantage of the overnight travel relaxation rule and when it is time, we board the 0527 Stagecoach North Scotland service 26A to Fortrose (Post Office on High Street) that arrives there at 0547 on Tuesday morning.

We then take the 0644 Stagecoach North Scotland service 26A to Cromarty, The Links arriving there at 0703 on Tuesday morning.

I think we've seen enough of the Highlands for now, so we board the 1225 Scottish Citylink service G10 to Perth (Broxden), arriving there at 1455 on Tuesday afternoon.

Assuming we're specifically at the Park & Ride bus stops...

Well Google Maps states that it's just called Broxden. There is a Park and Ride stop nearby that appears to serve the 7A/7B. But you found it anyway :)

All of the information regarding bus stops that I provide on here is as concise and accurate as physically possible. I even cross-reference bus stops with Google Maps to avoid ambiguity and to check the walking distance between stops.


We next board the 1723 ScotRail service to Golf Street that arrives at 1848 on Tuesday evening.

Well Golf Street has no more railway services for the remainder of the day, but thankfully there are still buses nearby, so we take the seven minute walk up Golf Street itself to the bus stop on the corner of Dundee Street and Burnside Street, where we board the 1907 Stagecoach East Scotland (Strathay) service 73A to Ninewells Hospital (there are five stances here), arriving there at 2000 on Tuesday evening.

There was a rail service one hour earlier than that one......the 2137 ScotRail service to Glasgow Queen Street that arrives there at 2321 on Tuesday evening
But at the risk of opening a can of worms, if the OP wants to go to Crewe and it is within the 2 hour time window then why shouldn't he?

I only made this posting as there was a service departing 67 minutes earlier, but I take your point and have now struck-through my posting in case as it caused offence.

I am still learning how to interpret the rules of this game. As I read it you can pick any destination accessible from a service departing in the two hour window, but should always take the first service going there. However you don't have to board the first available service irrespective of destination. Is that correct?

It is indeed so and the posting that I made has been struck through. My apologies to anyone to whom that posting caused offence.

Absolutely no offence taken by me - just a learning point!

Welcome @BenW390Fan. Just a couple of minor points with your post. It's useful to add the area/village as well as the stop (so in this case Endon, Plough Hotel). Also I think if you re-check the timetable the arrival time is 10:27. Perhaps you could adjust your post accordingly.

In which case we will catch the next First Potteries service 18 from the Plough Hotel, which is at 10:47, and alight at Sneyd Green, Berwick Arms at 10:59 on Wednesday morning.

Apologies and thank you for correcting me. I've edited my post :)

We then catch the Stantons of Stoke route 60 service at 12:14 (I know!) from Sneyd Green, Berwick Arms to Hanley Bus Station where we arrive at 12:25 on Wednesday afternoon.
