We next board the 0703 Stagecoach Bluebird service 291 to Bridge of Don (Greenbrae Drive), arriving there at 0729 ln Thursday.

Then we have a problem, as the posting to which you make reference to was responded to without comment on the name of the settlement by @Sultan1056 on the following posting # 46,230, which you then responded to on thar posting following to that with your posting #46,231.

The place is called Methlick. Perhaps @Sultan1056 searched by route number as opposed to settlement so seemingly had no issues but I typed in Methick and didn't get very far.

The point I am trying to make is that yours was not the posting that followed after the posting in your query by me and since @Sultan1056 had made a posting after it, of Udny station (opposite Cherry Row), that was the posting you should have concerned yourself with, not with any other postings that had been made prior to it, as those postings were immaterial to the one that you were about to make.

Respectfully, I lost interest halfway through that paragraph of absolute waffle....

I have nothing more to say on the matter other than that the name for that settlement is Methlick. Its okay to make mistakes, I'm forever quoting the wrong day more often than not; it's all about taking it in your stride and correcting it and moving on. You're the first one to (correctly) query something that seems amiss, so I'm not sure why this is any different now that the tables have turned.

This is the posting from which matters should continue.
