As the incorrect posting has been struck-through, this is the last valid posting on this thread.
To be fair, all it needed was correcting, but if that is what you wish then so be it....

We take the 9 minute (0.4 mile) walk to East Didsbury Tram Stop and take the 1627 Manchester Metrolink Pink Line to Victoria, arriving there at 1658 on Saturday.
We next board the 1728 Northern service 2K62 to Headbolt Lane, arriving there at 1842 on Saturday.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Time to take an overnight rest and we next board the 0608 Stagecoach North Scotland service 107 to Montrose (Co-op on High Street) that arrives there at 0658 on Monday.

I am glad to see no-one has decided to head off back to the usual central belt settlements such as Govan or Portobello after a mere few postings in the more northern reaches of Scotland.

I think that should read service 22

It is not all that long ago that I was pleased to be in north-east Scotland on this quiz, even hoping that places like Scrabster and Leirinmore Smoo Cave may be reached, yet here we are in south-west England..... :(

We next board the 2040 Great Western Railway service to Clifton Down that arrives there at 2100 on Tuesday.
