From here, we take the three minute walk to Woodsmoor railway station where we next board the 0844 Northern Trains service to Dove Holes that arrives there at 0918 on Thursday morning.
Not entirely sure whether there is a second public house in Stepping Hill but the only Crown I can think of is over half a mile away, so I'm not too sure on that one that is a three minute walk.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England

I am wondering if I have confused the said PH owned by Robinsons Brewery with either the Grapes or the Dog and Partridge in Stepping Hill, which is an area that I have visited to attend hospital appointments at Stepping Hill hospital, one of the largest hospitals in Greater Manchester, but I note your screenshot shows a three minute bike ride.

Yes.

That appears to be it for the night and other modes of transport are too far away to walks, so in the morning we return for the 0758 Little Gem service 392 to Stepping Hill (The Crown), arriving there at 0823 on Thursday morning.
In which case as there are plenty of bus services to choose from we may as well catch the 0828 High Peak Skyline Service 199 to Manchester Airport, The Station arriving there at 0905 on Thursday morning.

Well the 65 is the only bus that serves Westwood Crescent, so we take the seven minute walk to Parrin Lane and board the 1548 Go North West service 33 to Castlefield (New Elm Road), arriving there at 1619 on Thursday afternoon.
