At that late evening time, only the 201 is running and minimum connection time factor stops us board the 2116 service, so we wait and then board the 2146 Metroline service 201 to Denton (Crown Point) that arrives there at 2206 on Wednesday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

The 2116 would be fine as we were at the terminus so that vehicle would have commenced its new separate journey back towards Manchester.

Looking at the 201 timetable on Bustimes, I wonder why John Kennedy Road is shown TWICE in the first and second places and it appears that I chose the departure times of the second-placed one as it it was yellow-highlighted.

I've been to Hattersley before but I've not actually travelled on the 201. I believe there is a stop of that name on Ashworth Lane and one on John Kennedy Road itself, hence the confusion.
