A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
We leave the railway station and on the adjacent road outside, we find that we have just missed the 383 service connection so we cross the road and next board the 2300 Stagecoach Manchester service 384 to Offerton (the bus stop opposite Broadway on Hillcrest Road) that arrives there at 2312 on Saturday.

The quiz day currently arrived at is the day of the Manchester Marathon and quite a number of bus services have route amendments to allow for the event.
Such events are ignored for the purposes of the game in much the same way as public holidays are.

Staying on the Metrolink we change from the Purple Line to the Blue Line and take the 09.10 service to Eccles arriving at 09.54 on Sunday.
