We walk (1 min / 0.1 mile) from the Saltcotes Rd stop on Saltcotes Rd to the Saltcotes Rd stop on Preston Rd, where we await service 78 at 1608 (that's bad timing for us with an hourly service; the 1508 is too tight!!).
We alight at Kirkham (opp. Railway Station) at 1632 on Sunday.

I cannot apologise enough for that particular faux pas and have struck it through. I must have been planning two moves ahead....

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.

As requested I have reinstated my posting which is now showing service 28.

Not a problem! A quick check shows that it is in fact just the return working of the 28, as the times you've posted do indeed match.
