Bemused as to why we got off here and deciding the answer was not 42 we check the timetable and wait and board Stagecoach's 2310 No2a bus and sit tight for the meandering journey into the centre of Lancaster getting off at Common Garden Street at 2325 Saturday

I must admit I'm struggling to find the Gallowgate stop in Cockermouth.

Going on the basis that it is near Main Street, the principle bus stop in Cockermouth, we then board the 1348 Stagecoach in Cumbria service X5 to Penrith (Railway Station), arriving there at 1506 on Sunday afternoon.

Not that it matters but that service is in fact a TransPennine service, and not Virgin :)

We make the most of TransPennine Express services between Manchester and Edinburgh now going via Wigan as opposed to Bolton, so we board 1M91, the 1710 First TransPennine Express service to Wigan North Western, arriving there at 1858 on Sunday evening.

Although I have to say I'm not about on the forums as much as one would like to be, I'd like to thank everyone, once again, for keeping this game going so smoothly after the work we put into it in order to get it relaunched :smile:

TP

I think that I speak for all the regular contestants, who also participated on the original version on this game, when I say that the "walking" relaxation in the rules of this relaunched game has made it far more enjoyable to play.

We then take the 1227 SWT departure (taking care to join the right portion) and travel to Keynsham (spelt K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M as the older among us will not need reminding. I never did win that jackpot, Horace) arriving at 1454 Monday afternoon
