A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
We next board the 1900 McGills Scotland East service 59 to Raploch (Dobbies Garden World on the A84) that arrives there at 1934 on Thursday.

Thought for the day....A garden centre seems a much nicer place to disembark than the public toilets...unless you have been "caught short"

Indeed it does...

Whilst it is possible to travel to such far-flung delights as Oban from here, we are too late in the day to do so. Our only option seems to be a further trip on McGills Scotland East (t.a. Midland Bluebird) service 59. We therefore cross the A84 and depart on the aforementioned 59 at 2010. We alight at Deanston (Distillery) at 2021 on Thursday.

Toilets, garden centre, distillery, it gets better :D although we are too late in the day to have a tour of the distillery, unfortunately...

Sorry about the last post about post, the company name is technically still McGill’s Scotland East! My apologies!

Bit limited here with just the 102 available, so we wait for the next onward service to save us doubling back as we board the 1535 Stagecoach South East service 102 to Dover (Pencester Road), arriving there at 1549 on Saturday.
