[ValleyLines142]

Stagecoach seem to be the principal operator in this area, so we remain with them for the time being to a larger settlement as we head to the Tanyard Brow bus stop where we board the 2317 Stagecoach Manchester service 204 to Hyde (Bus Station), arriving there at 2340 on Monday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The time being what it is, we decide upon a destination with a lage number of stances and board the 0011 Stagecoach Manchester service 330 to Ashton-under-Lyne bus station that arrives there at 0024 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Springs Branch]

We now seem to be out of options so break for the night in Ashton under Lyne.

After a long run of Stagecoach buses, we now shift to First Manchester for the 0520 service 409 to Oldham Bus Station arriving at 0539 Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

This now gives us the opportunity to make an early morning omnibus run over the moorland, so we board the 0603 First Manchester service 184 to Cowersley (Bowling Street) that arrives there at 0705 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Bodie]

Little confusion here. Some sources say it's the 185, some 186.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

[Springs Branch]

Back across the Pennines on the 0915 First Halifax service 592 to Burnley Bus Station arriving 1045 Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

On the destination finder board at the bus station, we are somewhat intruiged by the name of a place to visit, so we board the 1112 Burnley & Pendle service 26 to Lamb Roe (Whiteacre Lane) that arrives there at 1149 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Springs Branch]

There are certainly some interesting place names in this part of the world. I had considered terminating my previous move from Halifax in Friendly, just for the novelty of the name!

At 1210 we board the Holmeswood Coaches Ltd service 14 to Clitheroe Interchange arriving at 1220 Tuesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Heading across to the railway station, we then board the 1244 Northern service 2J50 to Bolton, arriving there at 1337 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Bodie]

We take the next available train.

[Bodie]

Let's get Greater Anglia's 2P38 the 1933 to Great Yarmouth where we alight at 2005 on Tuesday night

 

[ValleyLines142]

Exiting the station and taking the nine minute walk to the bus stop at the White Horse Plain, we then board the 2103 First in Norfolk & Suffolk service 1 to Winterton-on-Sea (Winmer Avenue), arriving there at 2135 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Springs Branch]

Following this game's maxim "it's not about having a rest", we take our one single opportunity for onward travel tonight.

At 2330 we continue on a First in Norfolk & Suffolk service 1 to Martham, Cess Road, arriving at 2339 Tuesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Indeed that was the last bus of the day and despite a plea to the driver for news of the next service, we are met with a wall of silence, so we resign ourselves to wait for the next available bus and we then eventually (rather stiffly and somewhat bleary-eyed) board the 0645 First in Norfolk and Suffolk service 1 to Hopton-on-Sea (Anglian Way) that arrives there at 0800 on Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0832 First in Norfolk & Suffolk service 1 to Lowestoft (Bus Station), arriving there at 0855 on Wednesday morning.

 

[Springs Branch]

What better way to while away 5 hours or so than in the comfort of a National Express coach?

At 0930 we board National Express NX497 to London, Victoria Coach Station arriving at 1420 Wednesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Taking the short walk over to the railway station, we then board 1H30, the 1516 Southern service to Worthing, arriving there at 1636 on Wednesday afternoon.
