Unfortunately with the 74/75 having finished for the night and being out of reach from any other services we are left with no choice but to make a third journey on the 5c as we board the 2229 Blackpool Transport Victoria Lines service 5c to Victoria Hospital (Main Entrance), arriving there at 2249 on Tuesday.

Bidding a fond farewell to the Fylde Coast, but with a smile on our face in that we were able to explore as much as we did as usually we are deposited straight to North Station or on the 68 to the concrete carnage that is Preston bus station after one move, we take an overnight break and return in the morning taking the ten minute/0.4 mile walk to North station, where we board the 0535 Avanti West Coast service 1K14 (which attaches to the Holyhead portion that is 1R14 at Crewe) to Stafford, arriving there at 0713 on Wednesday.
