CAN I CALL A HALT
The posting previous to this had an arrival time of 1329 at York, so the posting above appears to have gone back in time.

I didn't actually see the York post, and just went straight from Huntingdon on the next page.
In that case, from York at 1329, we then board the 1427 Northern service 1B26 to Poulton-le-Fylde, arriving there at 1706 on Wednesday afternoon.

Taking the short walk to the Metrolink station, we change transport modes now as we board the 1631 Metrolink service to Trafford Bar, arriving there at 1647 on Thursday afternoon.

The Metrolink lines through St Peter's Square are said not to be reopening until the end of this month, so we leave the Metrolink stop and take the four minute walk to the bus stop on Chester Road where we next board the 1710 Stagecoach Manchester service 255 to Partington (Manchester New Road/Central Road) that arrives there at 1800 on Thursday afternoon.

We are aware of the 10 minute minimum connection time that applies at the large station and board the 2319 Northern service to Skipton that arrives there at 0004 on Friday morning.

As expected, that was the last train of the day, so we let the hours pass before boarding the 0556 Northern service 2S05 to Bradford Forster Square, arriving there at 0632 on Friday morning.
