Partly my fault - will explain in an edit. Edit: I initially posted the train to Barrow when we were at Heald Green, but was pipped as you suggest. However it immediately became clear that we could catch the same train from Manchester Airport, so I edited the post rather than deleting and rewriting it, which would have been clearer. Apologies for contributing to the confusion!

Not to worry! Thank you for clarifying

Hello! Welcome to the game.

Just a few reminders: the operator and departure time need to be stated as well. For buses, it's generally within a five minute window, so the earliest bus would be the 2125 Arriva London 333 to Brixton which arrives at 2132

We then board the 2137 Abellio London service 3 to West Dulwich (South Croxted Road/Park Hall Road), arriving there at 2152 on Friday evening.

Thanks. Not as good on buses as trains so hoping for more rail services to come up!

They will. We use all sorts of transport: trains, buses, trams, tube, DLR, even ferries! Only one that isn't permitted (which I wish it could be!) is domestic flights across Great Britain!
