Wanting to see the equally wonderfully named Midgley without getting stuck on numerous journey on the 574, we leave Friendly on the 1025 First Halifax etc. service 574 out to the Midgley and Dean House Lane termini, and back to Sowerby Bridge (Tuel Lane, Old Cawsey) where we arrive at 1105 on Tuesday.

That was a smart escape from trentbartonland :)

Yorton has just the one bus route, the last journey of which passed three and a half hours ago. So, as it is slightly too early to decamp for the night we take the 2326 Transport for Wales service back towards Chester, remembering to let the guard know that we want to alight at Prees at 2336 on Tuesday.

On a Wednesday, Wem has the same bus service as Yorton and Prees, which runs only between Whitchurch and Shrewsbury. So, to get out of this rather sparsely populated part of the Marches, we next board 1V31, Transport for Wales' 0518 service towards Milford Haven. We alight at Ludlow at 0601 on Wednesday.

Well the only bus serving Craven Arms is the 435 which only runs between Shrewsbury and Ludlow, so, we'll continue further northwards out of Shropshire in general and board the 0657 Transport for Wales service 1W90 to Chester, arriving there at 0820 on Wednesday morning.

Fancied a jolly to Llandudno but alas that was the service and the next one isn't for another three hours, so we can only go the other way and next board the 1214 Llews Coaches service T19 to Blaenau Ffestiniog (Railway Station), arriving there at 1319 on Wednesday afternoon.
