By the way, bus times.org was down for some period of time yesterday and now it no longer has timetables on their site. Anyone know why?

It's going through a glitch.

We then take the 1828 National Express Coventry service 8 to Coventry, St John's Church arriving at 1835 on Tuesday.

We then board the 1840 National Express Coventry service 10 to Bell Green (Winston Avenue/Deedmore Road), arriving there at 1906 on Tuesday evening.

There isn't another bus until 23:24 and that only takes us round the town, so I hope it will be OK to call a halt for the night and wait for the 06:07 Northern service to Northallerton where we arrive at 06:49 on Thursday morning.

These posts all need to change to Thursday. Shouldn't affect the timings.

There are still a couple of trains. 23:07 to York, or 23:13 to Darlington.

The 23:00 to 05:00 "time out" rule needs a bit of clarification. Is it mandatory to catch any available train or bus after 23:00 if you arrive just before that time? It seems that it is.

We wait for the 09:50 East Midlands service to Norwich where we arrive at 15:11 on Thursday afternoon.
