Could be, but still seems odd to be running more than a usual day at the moment.

Next we catch the 0841 Arriva Yorkshire Service 111 to Outwood 41 Industrial Park arriving there at 0849 on Sunday morning.

Nervous of ending up back in Leeds, we cross the road and await the 1502 Arriva Yorkshire service 117 to Osset, Bus Station arriving at 1545 on Sunday.

There's a 5 at 1957 which gets to Leeds station for 2005, and then applying the minimum connection time of ten minutes there's a train at 2018 which gets to York at 2052, substantially earlier than the Coastliner.

Think that's the best option really as it's not acceptable to wait for 1 hour and 46 minutes at a bus stop that has ten other services serving it, all to a various range of destinations. The second paragraph of Post 2 confirms this.

Fair enough but I guess that ship's sailed already!

We take the 1645 Arriva Yorkshire service 268 to Cleckheaton, Bus Station arriving at 1710 on Sunday.

We then take the 17:40 Arriva Yorkshire service 268 to Bradford (Bradford Interchange), arriving for 18:07 on Sunday afternoon.

Not to worry!

From inside the railway station we take the 1852 Northern service to Halifax arriving at 1905 on Sunday.

We take the ten minute walk to the bus station and board the 1918 First Halifax, Calder Valley & Huddersfield service 512 to Mixenden (Clough Lane/Clough Lane Reservoir), arriving there at 1938 on Sunday evening.

We next board the 1200 Stagecoach Manchester service 383 to Romiley (Cherry Tree Lane), arriving there at 1237 on Monday afternoon.

Oh god, I had a feeling we might end up on the 199, as for some reason it seems to be a popular route! Tried to get my move in fast but just got pipped to the post! Well High Peaks emergency timetables are really not the best, so we avoid them as we enter Whaley Bridge station and board the 1316 Northern service 2B27 to Middlewood, arriving there at 1330 on Monday afternoon.

We take the 11 minute (0.5 mile) walk to Threaphurst Lane to board the 13:52 High Peak service Skyline 199 to Manchester Airport (Bus Station), arriving for 14:38 on Monday afternoon.

Should have some services that aren't High Peak over here!
