Sorry, YET again I have jumped a day ahead of myself and we're on early Sunday morning.

You will realise that what you have so described above is a typical matter diagnosed of Lybster Omnibus Syndrome....

and we leave blackpool Pleasure Beach tram stop and have a good night sleep and get the first tram of the morning and catch the first tram of the day at 0706 to north pier and get there at 0717 on the sunday morning

We disembark from the tram and make the four minute walk to the bus stop on Clifton Street where we board the 0740 Blackpool Transport service 14 to Layton (Layton Square) that arrives there at 0745 on Sunday morning.

We then board the 0817 Blackpool Transport service 11 to St Anne's (Square), arriving there at 0904 on Sunday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 0925 Coastal Coaches service 78 to Hall Cross (Hillock Lane) that arrives there at 1006 on Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Struggled with this one as it's fairly isolated from other transport nodes.

We then board the 1038 Coastal Coaches service 78 to Lytham (Square), arriving there at 1056 on Sunday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1107 Blackpool Transport service 7 to Cleveleys bus station that arrives there at 1224 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

We decide to head back into the center of Blackpool. So we board the 12:45 Blackpool Transport Service 9 to Clifton Street arriving there at 13:26 Sunday Afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We make the four minute walk to the bus stop on Market Street where we next board the 1343 Blackpool Transport service 14 to Mereside, (Langdale Road Shops) that arrives there at 1409 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1433 Blackpool Transport service 3 to Bispham (Bispham Hotel), arriving there at 1507 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Springs Branch]

It's a 4 minute walk to the Bispham tram stop. Here we take the 1527 Blackpool Tramway tram to Pleasure Beach arriving 1549 Sunday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wishing to avail ourselves of a good long Sunday tram ride up the front, we cross over to the other side of the tram tracks and board the 1606 Blackpool Tramway service to Fleetwood Ferry tram stop that arrives there at 1655 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Alighting from the tram, we then walk down North Albert Street and then turn onto Pharos Street, where, from the bus stop outside the hospital, we board the service of a different operator as we board the 1738 Stagecoach in Lancashire service 74 to Blackpool (Abingdon Street), arriving there at 1856 on Sunday evening.

 

[me123]

I think we'll leave the Fylde peninsula behind for now. We walk the 0.3 miles to North station, and we're just in time for the 19:11 Northern service 1G35 to Blackburn. We arrive there at 19:55 on Sunday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leaving the railway station, we make the two minute walk to the interchange and board the 2032 Lancashire United service 152 to Whitegate (Byron Street) that arrives there at 2111 on Sunday evening.

 

[me123]

The 152 is the only show in town at this bus stop, but instead we walk the 0.4 miles to the stop on Sycamore Avenue (by Caernarvon Avenue). We can take our time, because the next bus is not until 22:07, a Lancashire Bus Number 4 service. It takes us on a short journey to Rose Grove (Lane Ends Hotel), arriving at 22:10 on Sunday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Taking the ten minute walk to Rose Grove station, we arrive in perfect time to board the 2225 Northern service 2J79 to Rochdale, arriving there at 2301 on Sunday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leaving the railway station and walking to the Metrolink stop adjacent to it, we board the 2312 Manchester Metrolink service to South Chadderton Metrolink stop that arrives at 2341 on Sunday evening.

 

[me123]

We walk through Coalshaw Green Park (a decidedly dodgy experience at this time of night!) and emerge onto Coalshaw Green Road. We arrive in time for the 00:02 First Manchester number 81 service towards Oldham Mumps Bridge, arriving there at 00:17 on Monday morning.

 

[johnnychips]

We call it a night, walk to Cheapside, and take the 0529 409 First service to Ashton Bus station arriving 0545 on Monday morning.

 

[me123]

We wait for a while until we can catch a Stagecoach Manchester number 237 bus towards Glossop at 06:27. We alight at Henry Street, Glossop at 07:03 on Monday morning.

 

[johnnychips]

We take the 0729 Northern Trains service from Glossop Station to Broadbottom Station arriving 0736 on Monday morning.

We take the 0729 Northern Trains service from Glossop Station to Broadbottom Station arriving 0736 on Monday morning.

We can transfer to the bus here, and we make good time for the 07:52 Stagecoach Manchester 341 bus service towards Hyde, alighting at Hyde Hospital at 08:21 on Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 0910 Stott's of Oldham service 341 to Charlesworth (Bankwood Mill on Long Lane) that arrives there at 0934 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1025 Stotts of Oldham service 341 to Godley (Grange Road South), arriving there at 1056 on Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Crossing to the bus stop on the other side of the road, we next board the 1108 Stott's of Oldham service 341 to Simmondley (Werneth Road Police Station) that arrives there at 1152 on Monday morning.

 

[me123]

The 341 is the only bus from this stop as well. As much as we love the service, the drivers are beginning to give us some strange looks, so we explore the area and come across another bus stop 0.4 miles away at a place simply called "the junction". We arrive in time for the 12:29 Stagecoach Manchester service 237 heading back towards Ashton. We arrive at Stalybridge, Armentieres Square at 13:01 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1311 First Pioneer service 348 to Buckton Vale (Huddersfield Road/Second Avenue) that arrives there at 1322 on Monday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

[Xenophon PCDGS]
