Was about to enter Victoria station and catch a Southern service but I feel this game ends up in the south quite a lot, so instead we enter the coach station and board the 2230 National Express service 403 to Bath (Balustrade), arriving there at 0110 in the early hours of Friday morning.

After looking around the interchange, we then board the 1900 Stagecoach Yorkshire service X19 to Marr (Barnsley Road/Church Lane) that arrives there at 1928 on Friday evening.

Well, not a lot happens in Marr in transport terms - although it's very close to the Doncaster Bypass. So all we can do is board the 20:05 Stagecoach Yorkshire service X19 to Goldthorpe (High Street) where we arrive at 20:12 on Friday evening.

* I expect many timetables will show alterations because of the COVID-19 outbreak. For avoidance of doubt, I think it probably be best if we just follow the standard timetable, and not the amended ones.

We grab a cup of coffee and a bacon butty whilst waiting for the 09:01 Ross Travel service 144 to Castleford (Bus Station) where we arrive at 09:55 on Saturday morning.
(Sorry about the arrival time on post 25491 - I spotted and corrected the typo in less than 2 mins but @ValleyLines142 was evidently too quick for me!)
