Ooh actually, I think you may have looked at the weekday timetable, because the first 51 from Cheltenham on a Saturday isn't until 08.10 (I did try and have a look at posting the next move myself! :lol: )

OK, that explains it! I'd better let someone else have a look for a Saturday service :)

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Ignoring Rail Replacement Buses that go back to Leeds, we decide to avail ourselves of the advantages offered by the overnight travel relaxation rule, so we walk to the coach stop outside the railway station and board the 0455 National Express coach service 436 to South Shields (Keppel Street) that arrives there at 0740 on Sunday morning.

I was just in the middle of preparing a move from Shirehampton on the Portway Park and Ride, but I see our travels in Bristol were of short success.

Anyway, we then board the 0845 National Express service 426 to Leeds (Dyer Street), arriving there at 1230 on Sunday afternoon.

Fulfilling Paul's wish to head to the North East, we find ourselves just in time to board the 12:40 National Express service 591 to Berwick-upon-Tweed Golden Square, arriving at 17:00 Sunday afternoon.

Who doesn't love spening their Sunday on coaches on the A1 :lol:.
