We say goodbye to the Highlands now (thank god, we've been here for several days, certainly not like Bristol, as others have said....) as we head over to the railway station and board the 1730 Abellio ScotRail service 1T62 to Glasgow Central, arriving there at 2108 on Wednesday evening.

We feel like a 318 bash, so we grab a pint or two and board the 2150 ScotRail service around the Cathcart Circle, arriving back into Glasgow Central at 2220 this Wednesday night.

I think moves like this are acceptable...

Shrewsbury seems to be upholding its reputation for poor bus services outside weekday business hours, so we take the four-minute walk to Shrewsbury railway station.

We board the 2056 ATW service to Crewe arriving at 2131 Thursday evening.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Delighted to find that my very own area of Cheshire East has availed itself, we leave the railway station and take a two minutes walk to the bus stop that serves the iconic railway-steeped historical edifice called the Crewe Arms on Nantwich Road and board the 2140 GHA Coaches service 38 to another well-known hostelry, Rodeheath(the Chain and Gate PH on Macclesfield Road?, that arrives there at 2217 on Thursday evening.

We have no choice at this location other than to continue on route 38 towards Macclesfield, or retrace our steps. The first bus we encounter is going back the way we came, so we jump aboard .....

That appears to be it for the evening and our options for the morning are two at the same time, either the 130 towards Manchester or the milk train to the Potteries.

We take the walk down to the train station where we take 2K10 Northern service at 0603 as far as Kidsgrove, where we arrive at 0615 Friday morning.
