Just to confirm that I will no longer be using that other source that caused the recent problem and will revert back to using bustimes.org.

Accepting that it's location descriptions can be askew sometimes, it does seem to be a reliable source.

Accepting that it's location descriptions can be askew sometimes, it does seem to be a reliable source.

Indeed so, as has been mentioned quite a number of times on this thread in the past and attempts have been made to establish exactly whose information in geographical area naming that is used by bustimes.org.

Howsoever, I did make a new posting after the one that you made, but it is now on the previous page.

We next board the 0552 First Leeds service 28 to West Park (Kepstorn Road) that arrives there at 0601 on Monday morning.

In all the to-ing and fro-ing, I beleive that this is actually a service 6, not a 28?

Assuming this to be the case, we await First Leeds service X84 at 0640, from which we alight at Ilkley, Bus Station at 0730 on Monday.

The recent thread disruption is one that the smooth running of this quiz just does not need, so for the sake of other thread contributors, it would be best for all concerned if I took a sabbatical away after this posting......

We next board the 0812 The Keighley Bus Company service 62 to Keighley (Bus Station) that arrives there at 0859 on Monday morning.

Out of curiosity, what was that particular source? Good to avoid by the sounds of it!

To move us forward let's use @Xenophon PCDGS move in the revised earlier timings suggested by @ValleyLines142 , so we next board the 0511 First Leeds service 6 to Woodhouse (Clarendon Road) that arrives there at 0538 on Monday.

This is what I was aiming for instead of striking out a perfectly valid move that only needed time amendments.
