We take the three minute walk to the bus stop at Lascells Terrace and board the 2332 First Leeds service 12 to Roundhay (Roundhay Park) that arrives there at 2339 on Friday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

That is it for the rest of the day, so we call it a night before boarding the 0538 First Leeds service 2 to Middleton (Thorpe Lane), arriving there at 0628 on Saturday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the five minute walk to the bus stop outside the Middleton Arms and board the 0637 First Leeds service 13A to Gledhow (Gledhow Lane/Thorn Lane) that arrives there at 0719 on Saturday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I think it's time to call it a day on Leeds' suburbs now, so we board the 0731 First Leeds service 13A to Leeds (Corn Exchange), arriving there at 0749 on Saturday morning.

After walking about 400m to Leeds Station, we take the 0819 Northern Trains service to Morecambe, arriving 1031 on Saturday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Exiting the station to the adjacent bus station, we then board the 1103 Stagecoach in Lancashire service 41 to Preston (Bus Station), arriving there at 1301 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1325 Stagecoach in Lancashire service 2A to Tarleton (Cock and Bottle PH) that arrives there at 1403 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1433 Stagecoach in Lancashire service 2 to Southport (Lord Street, Stop BD), arriving there at 1509 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1525 Cumfybus service 15 to Marshside (Marshside Road/Fleetwood Road) that arrives there at 1543 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

From the bus stop adjacent to Fylde Road, we then board the 1616 Arriva North West service 44 to Formby (Kings Road), arriving there at 1704 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the seven minute walk to the bus stop outside the Blundell Arms PH and board the 1719 Arriva North West service 47 to Crossens (Fairhaven Road) that arrives there at 1752 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Moving away from this area now, we then board the 1825 Stagecoach in Lancashire service X2 to Liverpool (Queen Square Bus Station), arriving there at 1933 on Saturday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Continuing the need to move away from the area, we next board the 2005 Arriva North West service 7 to Warrington bus interchange that arrives there at 2118 on Saturday evening.

We take (on my first move in the game) the two minute walk (according to Traveline) to Warrington Central railway station. Then board the 2153 Transpennine Express service to York, arriving 2342.

Always remember to end each posting with the "running quiz day" of the week, the last one being on Saturday evening.

 

[A Challenge]

Get the 00:10 Virgin Trains East Coast service to Newcastle, arriving at 02:35 on Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

The first train out of Newcastle on a Sunday appears to be the 0755 Virgin Trains East Coast service 1Y16, so we take that to its terminus of London Kings Cross, arriving there at 1111 on Sunday morning.

(would just like to point out that typing 1111 on my phone was immensely satisfying!)

 

[A Challenge]

Get the 11:50 Grand Central service to Bradford Interchange, arriving at 14:36 on Sunday afternoon.

The day is going quickly!

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1535 National Express service 310 to Leicester (St Margaret's Bus Station), arriving there at 1920 on Sunday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2010 Arriva Midlands service 20A to Coalville (Memorial Square) that arrives there at 2103 on Sunday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Despite the fact that Coalville has quite a generous number of bus services, only the 29A appears to be running at this time of night, so we board the 2110 Arriva Midlands service 29A to Glenfield (County Hall), arriving there at 2152 on Sunday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the eight minute walk to the bus stop on Groby Road and board the 2217 First Leicester service 14A to Newfoundpool (Fosse Road North) that arrives there at 2230 on Sunday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

There is nothing in this area really so we board the 2251 First Leicester service 14A to Beaumont Leys (Beaumont Centre), arriving there at 2313 on Sunday evening.

 

[Springs Branch]

That seems to be it for Sunday evening. The following morning we continue from the Beaumont Centre on First Leicester service 54, departing at 0603 as far as Leicester Railway Station arriving at 0632 Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We make our way into the station and board the 0718 XC service to Audley End that arrives there at 0924 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0940 Abellio Greater Anglia service 2H19 to Tottenham Hale, arriving there at 1030 on Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1110 AGA service to Bishops Stortford that arrives at 1138 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Not that it particularly matters but more out of curiosity, why did it take four days to get from Beaumont Leys to Leicester yet a mere twenty minutes onto a service to Audley End?

Exiting the station and heading to The Interchange, we then board the 1145 Arriva Herts & Essex service 508 to Sawbridgeworth (White Lion), arriving there at 1159 on Monday morning.

I think you will have to ask that question to Springs Branch as he was the person who made the posting that took the journey from Beaumont Leys to Leicester
