Not a lot happening here in the way of rail services, so we exit the station to the bus stop outside the post office on Gorton Road (which I'm questioning exists - perhaps a local player can enlighten me as it's been a long time since I was here), where we board the 1327 Stagecoach Manchester service 203 to Manchester (Piccadilly/Portland Street), arriving there at 1355 on Saturday afternoon.

A good belt southwards sounds like a plan now, as we board the 1931 VTEC (sorry, abbreviating because I'm lazy!) service 1E24 to London Kings Cross, arriving into the southern gateway of the ECML at 2142 on Saturday evening.

Surely having then written the note took more effort than just writing it out in the first place ;)

Next, we take our chances with Thameslink, boarding the 22:21 Thameslink service 2C64 to Shepreth, where we arrive at 23:39 Saturday night (well, if it actaully runs!).

I was thinking that, but still wasn't as much as an effort :lol: I've always found it's a nightmare to type on a phone!

We then board the 2346 Thameslink service 2C77 to Potters Bar, arriving there at 0037 in the early hours of Sunday morning.

I think we'll have to camp out overnight on the station platform and then resume bright and early on Sunday morning with the 06:39 2P21 Great Northern service to Finsbury Park arriving there at the quiet hour of 07:13 on Sunday morning.
