I think the 0606 is from Newark Castle station, not Newark North Gate.

I think the 0606 is from Newark Castle station, not Newark North Gate.

Offending posting now struck-through. It seems that not only do I make confusing locations in bus journeys (see previous page on this this thread) but am now also inept in differentiating between two stations in the same town...

A pity that this posting cannot be accompanied by the musical sound track of Andrea Bocelli singing "Time to say goodbye".

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
