I don't want to usurp the quizmasters here, but can I just ask if everyone is happy to be at Sully from this point on?

 

[OxtedL]

I think everyone seems to agree that Paul's move was reasonable, so I have un-struck it through as we have now made several more moves!

But the moves were made based on the fact that Paul's post was struck through! Surely the easiest option now would to take this as a learning point, strike through Paul's post and continue from Sully. Otherwise we have to re-set to Gabalfa!

I'm happy if we're all happy, lets continue from Sully.

Walking around the corner to Wood Street, we then board the 1235 Cardiff Bus service 94 to Sully (Minehead Avenue), arriving there at 1311 on Monday afternoon.

Ah yes, so we are ignoring posts #9049, #9050 and #9054? We can strike those out later.

Yes, that seems to be the most sensible course of action right now!

This is exactly the point I was trying to make but nobody grasped this! That's why I continued with the next move to avoid any further disruption.

You may just want to clarify your post I had to just check the stop on the x2 timetable, it says it is Vauxhall, Scotland Road, Leeds Street, opp (there are two Leeds Street in Liverpool inc one in the centre of Liverpool).

I have found it to be a bit hit and miss so tend to use Traveline.
