I can only but hope that the timetable information that I obtained was correct in its day basis.

Today we are going as a normal Monday service which was the case in both this relaunched quiz and the original quiz. Has it not always been the case that Bank Holiday days such as Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years day have always used the standard day of the week on which these Bank Holidays fall, as both you and I who participated on both versions of this quiz will be so aware.

We have made a small amendment to the opening post on play etiquette to clarify this situation, with the following text added:

There are a few dates each year (1st Jan and 25/26th Dec) where typically public transport options are not present. Players should use the timetables for a normal service day upon which these special dates occur.

Possibly? It's on Bramhall Lane South.

 

[-Colly405-]

From the timings it is what bustimes calls Bramhall Green Medical Centre. Bramhall? Bramhall Park? Bramhall Green? Who knows!!!!!
