Sorry to disrupt your plans, but since we arrived at Manchester Airport at 0525, we would not be able to take an onward 0415 departure...

Noticed after I posted and correct again now, apologies for the confusion.

I'm tempted to invoke the precedent set by Post #8022 which seems to allow us to walk more than 0.5 miles when the only option for onward travel is using the same bus route.
But I won't - the next trip on the 120 is with another operator, so I guess that's enough variety.
We board the 1843 First South Yorkshire service 120 to Sheffield Interchange / Pond St arriving 1915 Sunday evening.

Unfortunately we remain stranded in Bramley as there are no other services (there were 24 hour TPE services from Leeds but we bailed early), so we have no option but to call it a night, before we board the 0515 Northern service 2M30 to Mills Hill, arriving there at 0630 on Monday morning.
