EXCUSE ME

It's Friday Morning, not Monday Morning, see posts no #1878 and #1879 for where we got a bit confused, I tried to get the date back on track

Apologies for that - only just noticed it

 

[johnnychips]

How about stopping apologising and correcting and post another journey, y'all?

 

[dzug2]

We have time for lunch before taking the Dales and District service 70 at 1310, on which we travel to Thirsk Market Place, arriving at 1351 Friday afternoon

Bizarre, just went on www.traveline.info and got:

'You have reached a domain that is pending ICANN verification.' and a lot of other stuff. Anyone else got this or do you think I've got a bug.

In any case i can't proceed from Kirkby Fleetham on a later service 54 (there isn't one, thanks to D and D website) and I'm not sure if any other bus services serve it, so I'll leave it to someone else.

Speaking as an observer-only to this quiz at present, I can report that the Traveline North West site has suddenly taken a liking to Middlewood railway station as a point of departure, for when using this site to plan two journeys (neither starting anywhere remotely like Middlewood railway station) that my wife wished to make in the areas covered by this website, despite her inputting all the require information in extremely carefully, both results given by Traveline North West showed Middlewood railway station as the starting point. My good lady wife, being nobody's fool, has sent a very strongly worded e-mail of complaint to the Traveline organisation.

 

[Trainfan344]

Prehaps it's a sign Paul, She should go to Middlewood railway station?

Anyway

How is this possible when we arrived at 1957?!

The TT I'm using has no such departure - 2036 or 2136 seem to be the options with the former being too early

Speaking as an observer-only to this quiz at present, I can report that the Traveline North West site has suddenly taken a liking to Middlewood railway station as a point of departure, for when using this site to plan two journeys (neither starting anywhere remotely like Middlewood railway station, one being from Colne railway station and the other from Bromley Cross railway station), that my wife wished to make in the areas covered by this website, despite her inputting all the required information in extremely carefully, both results given by Traveline North West showed Middlewood railway station as the starting point. My good lady wife, being nobody's fool, has sent a very strongly worded e-mail of complaint to the Traveline organisation.

Just as a follow-up to this, I can report that the Traveline North West organisation has responded to the above and their e-mail states.....
"Our advice is to use the main Plan your Journey facility and not The Travel Now facility as that part of our website currently is experiencing a number of technical problems".

I hope that this information will prove of use to this particular quiz.

 

[dzug2]

We return towards Havant at 1827 on the Stagecoach in Portsmouth service 31 bailing out at Northney New Cut at 1840 on Sunday evening.

 

[johnnychips]

Let's call it a night and get the Stagecoach in Portsmouth 30 journey at 0644 from Northney to Hayling Island, Stoke Yewtree at 0647. Not a long journey, but don't know area and always wondered what it was like. It's Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I have decided to make one final return back to the quiz in the hope that matters have now improved

We next board the 0706 Stagecoach in Portsmouth service 31 to Havant bus station that arrives there at 0715 on Monday morning.
