I had a post ready on Friday to take us from Murrayfield, but forgot to hit "Post"...

Anyway, we take the 8 minute (0.4 mile) walk to Queen St railway station, where we depart at 1041 on Scotrail's 1A39 towards Aberdeen. We alight at Montrose at 1233 on Wednesday.

We then catch the 1404 Stagecoach Bluebird 8A to Stonehaven Barclay Street, arriving at 1445 on Wednesday.
It's only nine minutes to Barclay Street, arrives at 1413. Think you've mistaken it for the departure.

Anyway, we next board the 1450 Stagecoach East Scotland service X7 to Perth (Canal Street), arriving there at 1737 on Wednesday afternoon.

It happens!!!
I was tempted now by the ferry across to Fleetwood, but thought that might just ensconce us in Blackpool for longer.


So, at 1701 we depart on bus service 89, operated by Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire. We alight at Lancaster (Bus Station, stand 13) at 1807 on Thursday.
