A two minute walk would have taken you to service 25. We are also in the Richmond area.

Since we attach realism to the bus services that we use on this thread, I fully enter into the spirit of things by reminding all thread contributors that I am now 80 years of age and have medical infirmities in both my legs that are treated at the local NHS clinic every Tuesday and whilst able to make very short walks from a bus into a railway station (and vice-versa), cannot make the type of walks made by other thread contributors.

Many has been the time, over past years contributing to this thread that I have not been able to make postings which require walks that I am unable to make in real life.

I have noticed that this arrival stop seems to be a popular place to visit on this thread, with a good number of postings being made to it over the years.

As usual, I will sit this one out.

You sure about that? I make the walking time between the Pine Hill Close and Bestwood Road bus stops 14 minutes (0.7 mile) and therefore out of range.
