We then board the 2256 First West of England Citylines service 76 to Bedminster (Parade), arriving there at 2309 on Thursday evening.

A slight mistake in the day of arrival....or was the bus stuck on a flooded lane for 24 hours until the emergency services arrived?

The "quiz day of the week" is currently Wednesday.
