Does this section of the quiz rules still apply?

That may well be the case, but when the forum quizmaster team re-wrote the quiz rules prior to the second incarnation of this particular thread, that item was made an entry in order to obviate a matter such as a named road which had occurred in the past and existed as such in two areas very local to each other.

Appreciated, but in life you'll find we have to sometimes fend for ourselves to get the answer you need/want....

I think that it goes back to the posting of Leigh bus station, as the service 28A goes nowhere near either Barton-upon-Irwell or Monton.
Yes but we had made a journey on the 35 from Leigh to Monton, as per post #39709. We are back on track now anyway.
Taking advantage of the overnight travel relaxation rule, we next board the 0452 Diamond Buis North West service 132 to Wigan (Bus Station) that arrives there at 0545 on Tuesday morning.
We take the five minute walk to Wigan Wallgate, where we board the 0607 Northern service 2W40 to Ashton-under-Lyne, arriving there at 0700 on Tuesday morning.
