That posting should have ended by saying TUESDAY evening.....leaving others to use the wrong day from then in subsequent postings.

Dear,O dear, I see that a side effect of Lybster Omnibus Syndrome has raised its head again. The last journey arrived at Wells on a THURSDAY afternoon, but your posting arrives on WEDNESDAY afternoon.

THE QUIZ DAY AT PRESENT IS THURSDAY

We next board the 1351 Somerbus service 175 to High Littleton (Church Farm) that arrives there at 1430 on Thursday afternoon.

I literally am not listing the days any more. I confuse myself and I confuse everyone else. You'll all have to look at the previous post from now on. Don't know where Lobster comes into this though.

The 175 is operated by Somerbus Paul? Is there another bus service you are referring to?

From High Littleton, we then board the 1531 First in Bristol, Bath and The West service 178 to Brislington (Flowers Hill), arriving there at 1612.
(QM note: presumably on Thursday ;) )
