HALT

There is only one bus per day on the R47. Either, I have used the timings from the wrong day, or @DanTrainMan185 has, but either way one cannot continue so soon after.

Not quite, the bus heads into Belton-in-Rutland before returning to Wardley 5 minutes later, which is the service @DanTrainMan185 boarded (technically the same service but I think it's permissable here).

The rules of the quiz clearly state that you cannot board the same bus that was used by the previous poster. Perhaps my reading of the rules has missed the section that refers to permissiability, as tentatively mentioned above.

I think given the circumstances it may be allowed, as technically it is a different time but furthermore there's only one bus a day, so we're stuffed otherwise!

That bus stop is 1.5 miles away, you'd be hard pressed to do it in 9 minutes even if it was valid

We're here if it helps https://www.google.com/maps/@52.5919845,-0.4258535,19.5z
