I was hoping for a ride on the Knott End ferry. Never mind....
The ferry appears to have ceased operating in April.

With only the 88 and 89 available we continue on the 15.22 Stagecoach C&L service 88 alighting at Lancaster Infirmary at 15.29 on Friday.

At this hour with very little options, its either back to Preston or continue onto Ormskirk. With Preston being somewhere we are magnetically attached/often roped into, we opt for the latter and board the 2254 Northern service 2F47 to Ormskirk, arriving there at 2306 on Friday.
