Morning??????

Sorry, don't know where I got morning from! Think it was because I've been using my previous posts as a template, just filling in the neccessary gaps.

Luckily Oxford is blessed with a near 24 hour service, so we continue on through the night and board 2U91, the 0038 Chiltern Railways service to Kings Sutton, arriving there at 0100 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

I was starting to wonder what happened to this game!

Ashton Moss Metrolink station is just outside the 0.5 mile boundary unfortunately; it's actually 0.7 miles away from The Snipe Inn.

Which is the reason why my last posting, which was an attempt to move matters forward, has now been struck-through. I will endeavour to make a replacement posting.

Indeed this appears to be the case, notwithstanding the times of the posting after mine, as I was more intrigued to find a service purporting to run from Eastwood to Kirkholt with a number 6 route number being displayed...:roll:
