Which according to the timetable arrives at 1514....

We then board the 1612 Stagecoach East Midlands 'Humber FastCat' service 350 to Scunthorpe (Bus Station), arriving there at 1650 on Tuesday afternoon.

The problem we have sometimes is that everyone is trying to play at once, and then also everyone is trying to reply really quickly. I think we need to wait a few minutes before posting the next move, myself included, or simply refresh the page.

From outside the station, we then baord the 12:05 Dales and District service 73 to Leeming Bar White Rose Hotel (SW-bound) for no other reason than it's on the Maths A-Level data set, and I've wondered what it's like there (and it has a motorway service station), arriving at 12:19 Thursday afternoon.
