We exit the station and take the five minute walk to Long Ridge Lane West, where we board the 1843 First York service 10 to Stamford Bridge (High Catton Road/Roman Avenue), arriving there at 1935 on Sunday evening.
We re-board what is probably the same vehicle, to take the last departure of the day from Stamford Bridge, the 1940 First York service 10. We alight in central York at York, Piccadilly, stop PE at 2015 on Sunday.
We take the four minute walk around the corner to Low Ousegate, where we board the 2101 Transdev Yorkshire Coastliner service 843 to Seacroft (The Green), arriving there at 2149 on Sunday evening.
That appears to be it for the rest of the evening, with the exception of one more service 4 a fee stops to Pudsey, so we return in the morning for the 0551 First Leeds service 14 to Cross Green (Pontefract Lane/Bell Wood Roundabout), arriving there at 0647 on Monday morning.
We are quite limited for choice here, so rather than return on the 14, or take it one stop further to its isolated terminus, there appears to be nothing stopping us walking (7 minutes, 0.3 miles) to the Temple Green Park & Ride where we board the 0657 journey on First Leeds service PR2. We alight at Leeds, Trinity (L) at 0709 on Monday.
We walk around the corner to the Corn Exchange, where we board the 0727 First Leeds service 5 to Halton Moor (Ullswater Crescent), arriving there at 0734 on Monday morning.
We walk (11 mins / 0.5 mile) to the Carden Ave stop on Selby Road, where we board Arriva Yorkshire service Sapphire 163 at 0801, alighting at Garforth (St Mary's Church) at 0828 on Monday.
We take the nine minute walk to Garforth station, where we board the 0855 TransPennine Express service 1K10 to Stalybridge, arriving there at 0943 on Monday morning.

We walk 0.4 miles (8 mins) to the Manchester Rd East stop on Eastham Way, where we await Vision Bus service 129 at 1400. We alight at Tyldesley, Town Hall at 1423 on Monday.
Wishing to view the local mossland area, we next board the 1654 Arriva North West service 247 to Sinderland Green (Sinderland Lane) that arrives there at 1708 on Monday afternoon.
We next board the 1815 Stagecoach Manchester service 255 to Gorse Hill (adjacent to Derbyshire Lane on Chester Road) that arrives there at 1853 on Monday evening.
Crossing over Princess Parkway, we next board the 2056 Stagecoach Manchester service 111 to Manchester Royal Infirmary that arrives there at 2117 on Monday evening.
We then walk 1 min(0.1 miles) to Langworthy Metrolink stop where we get the 2310 Metrolink Blue line service to Deansgate-Castlefield, arriving at 2332 on Monday.
I think the correct name for that tram stop above is Deansgate-Castlefield.....
Crossing by the bridge connection to Deansgate railway station, we next board the 2338 Northern service to Blackrod that arrives there at 0002 on Tuesday morning.
We then take advantage of the overnight ruling and take the 0537, Arriva North West 575 service to Scholes, Wellington Street where we arrive at 0559 Tuesday morning.
We walk around the corner to the bus stop simply named Scholes on Warrington Lane, where we board the 0607 Stagecoach Manchester service 7 to Westhoughton (Church), arriving there at 0640 on Tuesday morning.
We walk round the corner onto Warrington Lane, where (at the stop imaginitively names "Scholes") we board Arriva North West service 360 at 0617, alighting at Warrington (Central Station) at 0706 on Tuesday.
