That's usually what happens with our dearest @Xenophon PCDGS

There will be few of the contributors to the very early days of this quiz who will remember those many "not-very-well-known" settlements that I used in postings in those far-off days which were enough to launch a new publication....

"Obscure small hamlets of West Yorkshire" ....

 

[-Colly405-]

We walk to West St (stop A) (3 min / 0.2 miles) where we board Plymouth Citybus, t/a Go Cornwall Bus, (for Transport for Cornwall) service 306 at 0727. We alight at Lifton (Fox and Grapes) at 0752 on Thursday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We are in the land of one regular and a few "once a week" bus services and at this time of the day options are "limited", so we choose the first available option and board the 0943 Go Cornwall Bus service 306 to Bridestow (Pool Cross) that arrives there at 0957 on Thursday morning.

(Bridestow is a place that I have visited in real life more years ago than I care to really remember).

 

[-Colly405-]

Applying the "no more than two hours after the first available option" rule we must return west on the next Plymouth Citybus, t/a Go Cornwall bus (for Transport for Cornwall) service 306, which is at 1042 (as the next eastbound isn't until 1357). We therefore decide to stay on this time through to its destination of Launceston (Westgate St) where we alight at 1125 on Thursday.

I worked on Westgate St once...
