Not to worry. The Eastgate Centre is on the border of Eastgate and Eastville, but it does show as Eastgate Centre on many other sources and is officially classed as Eastgate (Eastville is the other side of the M32; that's where Traveline SW has it's inaccuracies). You can use the 17 Paul as there is another stop serving the Eastgate Centre on Muller Road specifically for the 17 and the 24

I do hope this helps!

We next board the 0712 First in Bristol, Bath and the West service 17A to Willsbridge (Caldicot Close) that arrives there at 0801 in Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Moving away from the Greater Bristol area now, we then take the ten minute walk to the bus stop at the end of Cherry Gardens where we board the 0846 First in Bristol, Bath and The West service 319 to Bath (Nile Street), arriving there at 0908 on Friday morning.

I've just been having a look at the old Transport Game Quiz. My goodness, what an absolute farce! There literally was a hold up for every two to three moves! Utterly crazy! This is has been far more successful! Well done team.

No, you are not lazy at all and are quite in order to use such commonly-accepted acronyms, as we are all aware of their meaning.

You have a very good precedent for using them....I also use them

That may be the case; however, it just looks as if we can't particularly be bothered!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the nine minute walk to the bus stop on Broad Street and board the 0947 Faresaver Bus service X72 to Easterton (Royal Oak PH on High Street) that arrives there at 1111 on Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1211 Faresaver service X72 to Melksham (Market Place), arriving there at 1254 on Friday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A change of service sees us next board the 1301 Faresaver Bus service X34 to Trowbridge (Town Bridge on Stallard Street) that arrives there at 1333 on Friday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We make our way to the station for the 1350 GWR service to Ashchurch for Tewkesbury, arriving at 1556 Friday afternoon

it just looks as if we can't particularly be bothered!

Perhaps we can't? If in a hurry anyway

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

That on-time train arrival gives us just enough time to leave the station and walk to the adjacent bus stop on Northway Lane, where we board the 1601 Stagecoach South West service 41 to Uckington (Cooke Lane) that arrives there at 1635 on Friday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We cross the road (not without difficulty at that time of day) and take the Stagecoach 42 at 1703 to Tewkesbury Anchor, arriving at 1723 Friday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next take the one minute walk to the bus stop outside Boots on High Street where we board the 1758 Stagecoach South West service 71 to Norton (Village Hall on Old Road) that arrives there ay 1818 on Friday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We continue on the Stagecoach West 71 at 1913 to Gloucester Bus Station, arriving at 1930 Friday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next take the one minute walk to the bus stop on Market Parade where we board the 1952 Stagecoach West service 8 to Hucclecote (Yewtree Road) that arrives there at 2003 on Friday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

The 8 appears to be the only bus serving this area at this hour, so we have a bit of a wait now before we board the 2103 Stagecoach West service 8 to Abbeymead (Brome Road), arriving there at 2124 on Friday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We wait for the Stagecoach 8 bus to come back at 2202 and then ride its complete circuit of Brockworth's delights, landing up at Gloucester Clarence Street at 2239 Friday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Taking the four minute walk to the railway station, we then board the 2313 ATW service 2G75 to Cardiff Central, arriving there at 0025 in the early hours of Saturday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We take the 0055 GWR service to Swansea, arriving at 0155 Saturday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I am not sure this is allowable, but I will submit it.....

We next board the 0358 GWR service to Chippenham that arrives there at 0624 on Saturday morning.

 

[dzug2]

I am not sure this is allowable, but I will submit it.....

We next board the 0358 GWR service to Chippenham that arrives there at 0624 on Saturday morning.

It's within 2 hours of arrival (plus the 5 minutes minimum connection time) so definitely valid

 

[ValleyLines142]

That move is fine Paul. Irrespective of the two hour wait rule the 0358 can officially be classed as the first available service the following morning after the arrival of the 0155 service. There may also be some 24 hour buses in Swansea but I'm not that well knowledgeable of the bus network there.

From Chippenham, we then exit the station and board the 0710 Stagecoach West service 55 to Lyneham (MOD Main Gate), arriving there at 0746 on Saturday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We wait for the next service along and board the 0816 Stagecoach West service 55 to Swindon bus station that arrives there at 0854 on Saturday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We take Stagecoach in Swindon service 51 at 0920 and travel to Cirencester Corn Hall, arriving at 1015 Saturday morning

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1120 Stagecoach West service 51 to Cheltenham (Promenade), arriving there at 1200 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1212 Stagecoach West service 10 to Lower Tuffley (Silver Close/Tuffley Lane) that arrives there at 1322 on Saturday afternoon..

 

[dzug2]

We return on the Stagecoach West 10 at 1334, travelling to Gloucester Bus Depot (not station) arriving at 1414 Saturday afternoon

 

[ValleyLines142]

It doesn't particularly matter anyway as both the bus and railway station are all within walking distance from the bus depot anyway.

Taking the eight minute walk to the railway station, we then board the 1450 CrossCountry service 1M68 to Burton-on-Trent, arriving there at 1620 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We then take the 1654 XC service to Newcastle arriving at 2001 Saturday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Staying with the same TOC, we next board the 2035 XC service to Dunbar that arrives at 2142 on Saturday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We take the 2213 VTEC train to Edinburgh Waverley, arriving at 2237 Saturday evening

 

[James Wake]

Next we board the 2255 ScotRail service to Tweedbank, arriving at 2352 on Saturday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

That appears to be the last service of the day, trains or buses, so with some trepidation knowing that the Sabbath in Scotland approaches, we find there actually is an early morning bus service, so after passing the night as best as we can, we leave the railway station and on the unclassified road outside, we board the 0647 First Scotland East service 72 to Melrose (outside the Ormiston Insitute on Market Square) that arrives there at 0655 on Sunday morning.
