Whereas Darras Hall is only about 1.5 miles from an international airport (Newcastle), Auckley is about the same distance from Doncaster international airport.

I’ve had to get to work by two buses daily recently for the past two months in Doncaster. It takes about forty minutes compared with twenty by car (broken at the moment). I’m immune, but what would put other people off - not old buses, worn seats and to some extent litter - are swearing by, not...

^yes, I wondered what on earth this meant.

Although it’s not designed really for through passengers, the Stagecoach Yorkshire 221 from Rotherham to Doncaster wins my vote. Diversions to an estate in Swinton, the Windhill estate in Mexborough, an extensive tour of Denaby, then the Conanby estate in Conisbrough add up to 78 minutes...

Are they operated by Arriva, who own XC? The Doncaster airport buses on RTT are shown as operated by Trans Pennine: both are First.

The rules prevent repeating the settlement name from the previous three clues. Peebles was four clues before John G’s post.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Edwin, please could you explain where the GC route runs through the Don Valley. I tried Googling to no avail.

Tilford also has a Barley Mow pub.

Low Moor station cost £10.8 million. The days when you could just build cheap wooden structures are gone.

Yes - one of the most useful phrases I found in Italian was 'Can you buy bus tickets here?' as you desperately went from shop to bar to shop trying to get a ticket!

But you've got 10 passengers in Wick, 5 in Thurso, 2 in Tain, 1 in Invergordon, and 15 in Inverness. I hardly think that justifies a train! Chauffeur driven Bentleys would be cheaper.

@tbtc does talk a lot of sense. The current amount of passengers at DSA (Doncaster-Sheffield Airport) hardly justifies a dedicated bus service from Sheffield (X6 - never seen more than four people on it), and the bus service from Doncaster (57a/c) has recently replaced the X4 so it serves local...

No, it is a bizarre thread. Unless the seat is wet and/or visibly soiled and should be avoided, the only contact you will have is your trousers or skirt. Maybe you - and I don't mean the poster above, but anyone - are in the habit of feeling your buttocks, then putting your hand in your mouth...

Is this because of some sand from the Sahara Desert colouring it?

Cement is also manufactured at Hope, Derbyshire.

Been living in Doncaster for 38 years and never, ever, had an inspector on a bus.

^ one of the best things about the SY Connect + ticket is that you can use it any time of day. If you want to try and combine it with another ticket, not sure.

I think this is the most pertinent point on the thread. In addition, most posters have ignored @Starmill ‘s initial point that the saving of time has to be between significant population centres: I could easily posit Hattersley to Glossop, but that isn’t the point of the discussion. Instead it...

There are left luggage lockers at Knokke, which seemed a small station to offer such facilities, so I wonder if others have them?
