A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
A query. A couple of years ago. I went to see a match played on the ground of Tranmere Rovers in Prenton and both Prenton Road East and Prenton Road West pass one side of the ground. I seem to be having a problem in tracing the timetable for the service 38 mentioned above, so will sit this one out.

Invalid move I'm afraid, you can only walk up to half a mile to transfer to another service and Davenport station is almost a mile away from this point.
