A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
This settlement unfortunately appears to have only the number 9 serving, which has quite a time between buses in the afternoon, so we stroll around, passing away the waiting time until we board the 1747 First West of England service 9 to Ebdon (St Mark's Church on Queensway) that arrives there at 1759 on Thursday.

A ten minute walk across Monks Hill would have given you reign of the number 1 bus via Kewstoke
I base my postings on what I am able to do in real life at the age of 81 with my real-life medical afflictions, as I have stated in past years on this thread, coupled with the embarrassing fact that I do not / cannot use the computer aids that the vast majority of website members treat as a normal part of life... :oops: :D

I hope that the forum quizmaster team will make allowances for the above information.

Incidentally, what does "given you the reign" mean ?

Should have been "rein", I believe.
As in "given the rein", i.e.given command over.

We might need an adjudication here.

@Xenophon PCDGS post 58503 was valid.

My subsequent post 58504 was therefore pipped, so it and all subsequent posts are technically invalid.

We should I believe continue from here...

Well spotted.

To be fair, it does state that its down to community judgement, so if everyone else is happy, let's continue from St Mark's Church.

We take the three minute walk to Trenleigh Drive stop and board the 1827 First West of England service 7 to Locking Parklands (Parklands Educate Together School), arriving there at 1920 on Thursday.
