A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Gwynfor coaches service 51 takes us to Brynteg, leaving at 1325 and arriving at 1332 on Thursday afternoon

I have stayed at Brynteg (the one at the top of the long steep hill that leads from Benllech) and it must be an awfully quick bus to make it to there from Moelfre in only seven minutes, but it was hoped that the times would improve so I am not questioning the time, just making an observation.

Incidentally, was the stop at Brynteg the California Arms, at the crossroads?. Assuming this to be the case......


We next board the 1507 H.D.A. Coaches service 63 to Llanerchymedd (Market Square post office) that arrives there at 1522 on Thursday afternoon.

The original TT I saw didn't specify the stop but I've confirmed it as the California Inn (and the 7 minutes) from another one

Gwynfor coaches service 32 take us on at 1555 to Maen-Addwyn, Post Office, E-bound, Main Road arriving at 1602 Thursday afternoon

There appears to be this very interesting working, 2Y61 1015 Fort William to Mallaig, but it's a West Coast Railway Company service, so I don't think I can use it as it is a special.

Instead, we board 1Y44, the 1140 ScotRail service to Dumbarton Central, arriving there at 1458 on Friday afternoon.

It is a regularly scheduled 'special', beloved of Harry Potter fans. A grey area but I think it might be OK. Well as OK as the sleeper for walkon passengers or any of the heritage lines. It can sell out.

From Dumbarton Central we take the 1525 Scotrail service to Glasgow Queen Street arriving at 1556 Friday afternoon
