Again, we appear to be stuck in a settlement served only by one bus which restricts our options, so again heading to a settlement where onward connections are available, we board the 1056 Stagecoach Yorkshire service 59 to Wakefield (Bus Station), arriving there at 1117 on Saturday morning.

I still think you will miss me and my knowledge of obscure settlements served by bus when we depart on Sunday morning for a seven-day holiday in West Sussex.....:D

We next board the 1137 Arriva Yorkshire service 425 to Dudley Hill (the stop that is near to Prince Street) that arrives there at 1235 on Saturday afternoon.

In the game or in real life?

Anyways, we decide that shuttling back and forth in Bradford is boring, so we walk the half-mile to Rooley Lane and board the 1258 First in Calderdale and Huddersfield 508 bus to Farsley, opp Bradford Road Ruskin St (near New Pudsey station), arriving there at 1313 Saturday afternoon.

Real life....we will be staying at the Royal Norfolk Hotel in Bognor Regis.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Incidentally, you do not state where the actual area is, but you mention New Pudsey station, which I think is situated in Farsley.

We take the seven minute walk to the bus stop on Cote Lane where we board the 1349 First Leeds service 9 to Horsforth (Church Road/Church Crescent) that arrives there at 1406 on Saturday afternoon

We then board the 1913 Kinchbus* Skylink service to Leicester (St Margarets Bus Station), arriving there at 1940 on Sunday evening.

* Kinchbus sounds like a sub-brand of Trent Barton.
