Manningtree has a nice bar also opens early to provide excellent Bacon rolls. Just what you need before or after a trip to the Hoek.

Read the first line.... It's from memory. 1320 maybe 1520 without my notebooks I don't remember the exact timings or unit numbers.... Anyway it was done

That's a question without my notebook or my 'bible' the Railtrack National Rail Passenger timetable from that period. I have done some research on here for the times. As for what the Central Trains unit numbers where that's a pass without my notebooks. The only exception being 158 867 in the...

I did during Central Trains days. Lincoln Central To Aberystwyth Pair of 153s. Pwllheli To Grimsby a 156. Not the full route but a Wales and West 158 from Shrewsbury (ex Manchester Piccadilly) to London Waterloo.

The select 96 bus from Telford or Shrewsbury to Ironbridge though does not run Sundays. However if you hang on until May Regional transport are running a sightseeing trip using an open top bus during the week and hopefully his Leyland National. https://www.regionaltransport.co.uk/rt_015.htm

Some concern on Lloyd's Coaches Facebook site (where i found the timetable) of the removal of the 07.30 from Machynlleth to Newtown now runs at 06.54, Lloyds have replied stating a separate service will run at 07.30 to Coleg Powys. Also an apology from Lloyds for the late publication of the...

Ive just tried a search for a bus service between Machynlleth and Newtown on Tuesday the 4th, traveline has given me 4 bus changes and i have to travel via Dolgellau, Bala, Wrexham and Shrewsbury using the T2, T3, etc. No mention of any buses between Machynlleth-Llanbrynmair-Newtown. Quite bad...

I am aware of that i live in the valley! Ceinws and the C.A.T are in Powys the Dulas is the county boundary. So not certain if Powys provide some funding, i know they fund some of the school runs into Machynlleth.

Is there an available timetable published? Im surprised that the x75 has never been considered to be Trawscymru-fied. Slightly off trawscymru.. I have read Powys have recontracted all there school runs for this September. I have also heard from a town councillor in Machynlleth the 34a(former...

There would have to be a level of service from September as the X85 was/is contracted to convey students to Coleg Powys, and some school kids from Carno to Caersws.

I've done it from Machynlleth to get me into Porthmadog for a gala on the ffestiniog railway, I nearly slipped up as the driver turned up at the depot and it then departed from there. I was waiting at the Town Clock the driver passed me and picked me up his car and assumed i was waiting for the...

The S2 Sherpa bus from Llanberis to Betws-y-Coed. And a close 2nd was the then 94 service from Barmouth to Wrexham with one of Dolgellau's Bristol VRs. Now the T3 and has a couple of E400 Scania deckers.

Some people are genuinely homeless and in a difficult place, I always preferred a cup of tea to money.

Surely no harm in running into the 07.12 path on a Saturday. Earliest I got to Loughborough yesterday was 1042. In Central days it was a much better timetable, with much better connections, that's in my experience of travelling weekly on the line since 1994. --- old post above --- --- new post...
