We then board the 1910 National Express West Midlands service 9 to Birmingham (Brindley Place), arriving there at 1953 on Friday evening.

I take it that roundabout is somewhere in the Patchway area. Assuming this to be so......

It's not quite in Patchway, but it's close enough :)

Bridgnorth Road is a massive road with several bus stops on it. Can you state which exact stop we alighted at please :)

To save any further queries that are made, I have caused my last posting to be struck-through.

This is the last valid posting, from which the quiz should be continued.

There's no need to delete it Paul, I just wondered where exactly we are :)

Bleary eyed from such a short sleep the night before we stroll over to Wolverhampton Train Station and take the 0620 London Midland Service towards Liverpool Lime Street alighting at Runcorn at 0723

That seems like a hint to take to the rails, but I have other ideas <D

We switch to another bus instead, this time the London General 280 service at 11:32. We take it to Sutton Station, arriving at 11:56 on Saturday morning.

We decide to take to the rails and take the 1144 service from Sutton Station towards London Victoria alighting at Clapham Junction at 1220 on Saturday morning.

We decide to take to the rails and take the 1214 service from Sutton Station towards London Victoria alighting at Clapham Junction at 1250 on Saturday morning.

kevconnor had made the required amendments to his posting, following the challenge by DanTrainMan185 so the quiz should really now be continued from that point.
