A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
As that seems to be the last bus of the day, we need to bide our time until the arrival of the first bus which is the 0716 Stagecoach Highlands service 82 to Wick (the bus stop opposite the Town Hall on Bridge Street) that arrives there at 0729 on Saturday morning.

I wonder if a certain website member feels that a jab will soon be needed to combat the effects of Lybster Omnibus Syndrome..... :D

Friends, Lochgilphead etc, what is it with us going back to the same places all the time?! It's becoming a little tedious if I'm honest.

From Wick, we take the three minute walk to the station and board the 0802 ScotRail service 2H56 to Dingwall, arriving there at 1150 on Saturday morning.

Are there any earlier departures? 0730 is quite a late start, even on a Sunday for Glasgow standards, most buses start running from about 6am?
You shouldn't wait for more than two hours after the first available service (to any destination) has left, after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
    • Night services in the UK can be quite limited, so when the previous move arrives at its destination after 2300 you are allowed to wait until 0500 the next day if you wish.
