I can't seem to find this bus stop anywhere but it has the same timings as the stop called The Allotments which appears on both Traveline Cymru and Stagecoach's own timetable. Therefore I will plan my next move based on this.

We then board the 1927 Stagecoach in South Wales service 50 to Caerphilly (Interchange), arriving there at 1949 on Tuesday evening.

My apologies for this....I had made some hard-copy notes about a selection of stops and appear to have re-entered the name of the settlement again, plus part of an address of another stop.....so the fact that I actually achieved a correct arrival time shows that I did at least did something correct somewhere along the line....:oops:

Not to worry! As I said the timings were exactly the same so it didn't make a huge difference!

We then board the 1758 Stagecoach in South Wales service 50 to Caerphilly (Interchange), arriving there at 1833 on Tuesday evening.

Hang on - if we arrived at Tiryberth at 1827 we can't leave there at 1758

Or have I got the wrong stop?

We then board the 1452 GHA Coaches service 88 to Altrincham (Interchange), arriving there at 1540 on Wednesday afternoon.

Here was I thinking that someone would have chosen the 27 service that plies its trade between Knutsford and Macclesfield.

Not on my point, I wish to assure you, but Firswood is an area I have never visited and I was hoping that another contestant would let the quiz continue onwards. However, that last tram appears to be the last of the day, so not tracing any very early morning buses, it appears a wait is required for the first daytime tram to anywhere to arrive there.

We next board the 0508 Manchester Metrolink service to Peel Hall Metrolink stop that arrives there at 0539 on Thursday morning.
