Okay it appears there was a little bit of confusion as to a move earlier on. For future reference lets make sure, if someone does quickly change their mind, before anyone has posted a move, to make it clear that you've made an edit. This will avoid such confusion.

In any event it's not caused a problem this time and the game is still flowing smoothly so lets carry on. I believe we're somewhere in the sunny North West at the moment?

Aha! Here we are:

We next board the 1455 Warrington Borough Transport service 5 to Lumb Brook (Chester Road/Lumb Brook Bridge) that arrives there at 1545 on Friday afternoon)

Couldn't decide what to do, whether or not to take the 255 to Partington, the 23 to Didsbury or the 15 back to town!

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England

If I may belatedly give you some information, Seedley is an inner-city district of Salford. When the London and North Western Railway looked at the station provision on the line of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, they built a station at Seedley, which opened on 1st May 1882 and closed on 2nd January 1956. Part of that railway line in the Salford area was used for the M602.
