• You may walk up to about half a mile when changing modes to a stop in the vicinity, if you wish.

We aren't changing modes, are we?

Transferring into Glasgow Central, we then board the 1908 TransPennine Express service 1M94 to Manchester Piccadilly, arriving there at 2222 on Thursday evening.

We then board the 22:56 Northern service to Blackpool North, arriving there at 00:19 on a Friday.

 

[Esker-pades]

The best workaround I can find is using the shuttle bus provided to get us from Queen Street to Central. I really can't see anything wrong with walking it, but....

Google said 0.6 when I put it in. As for that, it still doesn’t give a carte blanche to walk from Waterloo to Euston. It seems like a reasonable move in this case anyway

It gave me 0.3. I think we might be using different entrances/exits. 0.3 is the minimum distance between the two stations.

I assume that’s the 24?

Anyway, we’re stuck here overnight, so in the morning we board the 08:50 Elizabeth Yule service 82 to Kinloch Rannoch, The Square, arriving at 09:45 was Saturday morning.

 

[Esker-pades]

Yes. I apologise for missing that out. Post edited.

This is not exactly the transport hub of the area, so we are fortunate to be able to board the 0955 Elizabeth Yule service 82 to Strathtummel (the bus stop opposite Queens View) that arrives there at 1033 on Saturday morning.

 

[DanTrain]

Good choice Paul, I once spent a while here before we decided you probably couldn’t park a campervan in the car park overnight!

Anyway, we’re stuck here for a while, and seeing little sense in boarding a bus back to Rannoch (still outside the 2h limit) we instead choose to wait for the 14:33 Elizabeth Yule service 82 to Pitlochry, opp Clunie Bridge Road, arriving at 14:45 Saturday morning.

[318266]

[Esker-pades]

Why are we waiting 1hr 38mins?

That's when the next bus is to Limerigg.

 

[318266]

And what number is the bus?
