I presume that the alighting point should read Baguley (Timpson Road).
If I may be so bold, can I remind other thread contributors of locations over the years of postings that have been made naming a settlement followed by the name of a supermarket in brackets. Anyone with any local knowledge of the Baguley area would be aware of the very large size of the Tesco supermarket and associated car park there there. I think the TfGM number 11 bus timetable may well refer to that stop as Baguley (Tesco) as this area being in the Tranche 3 area, it will not have a Bee Network timetable until 2025. The supermarket frontage, its entrance road and the bus shelter outside the supermarket are all on Altrincham Road.

Anything still running at that time of the night, or is it time now for an overnight break?
You should know, you're the Manchester Warrior. :D

Is that the same stop that bustimes.org refer to as being at Lake, opposite Burngate Road on Blandford Road?
