With no buses in this village on a Monday (they do exist on Tuesday to Saturday!) we must stay on the rails and depart on the only train that complies with the rules on how long we stay after the first available train has gone. Therefore we board 2H86, Northern's 1302 service towards Carlisle. We alight at Lazonby & Kirkoswald at 1308 on Monday.

Surely you cannot refer to Carlisle (in the posting before yours) as a village.... o_O

It appears my post taking us to Carlisle got in first and this was a reference to Langwathby.

We walk (3 mins) to the railway station bus stops on Black Lion Hill where (having arrived at 1110 but confounded by the 5 minute interchange time meaning we cannot depart until 1112) we let the 1111 journey on Stagecoach Midlands service D2 pass. We therefore await the 1211 journey, from which we alight at Daventry (Danetre Hosptial) at 1244.
