As we had spent some time in the North East and Teeside recently, we'll avoid the first Redcar service the following morning, instead we will get the 0529 LNER service to Newark North Gate arriving there at 0644 on Saturday morning.

Yes, in 6 minutes; I wanted to see what Dunsmore Ave was like!
I don't think this is forbidden in the rules? Mind you, they probably didn't think anyone would do it :D

Possibly not forbidden, we often get criticised for returning to the previous place with a move but I don't know if we've ever done a journey and ended up at the same place before!

Unless we wait 7 hours we only have the 833 circular, so we take the 1024 journey, alighting at Cropwell Bishop (Nottingham Rd) at 1043 on Saturday.
This is the nearest stop on the 833 to the Cropwell Bishop Stilton creamery :)

Unfortunate to have immediately returned to Nottingham Station, whilst Nottingham attracts criticism on here there would be other options available, even towards the North or centre of the city.
