A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
"Paucity" is the best word to describe public transport in this area and the only bus that I could trace leaving after the last one stated above was the 1621 Nu Venture service 130A to Rainham (the bus stop adjacent to the White Horse on High Street) that arrives there at 1656 on Monday.

At that time, we were at The Hedges on the 130A and I had no idea what the distance was to the shops to which you refer (which were not mentioned in the timetable for the 130A service) that were served by the alternative 130 service.

Unlike most contestants, such is my current medical infirmity is that I cannot understand the methodology that tells thread contributors the distance between two points and there are numerous times that I have reraiined from making postings upon this thread for that very reason. I do enjoy participating on this particular thread, which is now in its second incarnation and I am but one of the two remaining thread contributors, who also participated on the original version that was launched by @Zoe.

I have made, 9,271 postings upon this particular thread.

If this inability of mine is disrupting the even flow on this thread, please feel free to put the matter to the forum quizmaster team, so they can make the required adjudication.
