Not wanting to spend too much time in Scumthorpe, I beg your pardon Scunthorpe, we hop foot it from the bus station to the train station as quickly as our feet will carry us in order to take the first available train out of here.

At 1909 we are relieved to see the arrival of a class 185 Transpennine express, service 1B91 no less towards Stockport where we arrive at 2052 on Saturday evening.
