We decide to have a pint and a snack in Wetherspoon's before continuing on LMS's Wychavon Hopper 564 service at 1145, travelling to Bricklehampton Turn, arriving at 1211 Thursday lunch time

Time to spare to examine the environs of this area before we board the 1347 LMS service 565 to Hinton-on-the-Green (Stevens Lane) that arrives there at 1359 on Thursday afternoon.

It would be best if the actual stop names were used rather than common names which people outside of the area may not be familiar with.

Briefly going back to this, that is the stop name. Blackboy Hill is an area and a landpoint. Locals and non-locals would use this

Time to spare to examine the environs of this area before we board the 1347 LMS service 565 to Hinton-on-the-Green (Stevens Lane) that arrives there at 1359 on Thursday afternoon.

We then take the short walk to Bevens Lane and board the 564 bus operated by LMS at 1500 to Pershore (Rail Station), arriving there at 1546 on Thursday afternoon.

We then board the 16:29 FGW service to Worcester Foregate Street arriving there at 16:44 Thursday Afternoon

 

[dzug2]

Despite the timetable it's Bevans Lane, not Bevens (or Stevens). But no matter

From Pershore station we take the FGW service at 1551 to Charlbury arriving at 1632 Thursday afternoon

We take a leisurely walk to the (Worcester) bus station and take the 1745 bus (First 420) to Bromyard Pump Street, arriving at 1826, Thursday evening

I have Bevens on my timetable. But I must admit I don't know where Stevens came from :P

We then board the 16:29 FGW service to Worcester Foregate Street arriving there at 16:44 Thursday Afternoon

Presuming that this was the last valid journey, we then board 2C64, the 1716 London Midland service to Cradley Heath, arriving there at 1756 on Thursday evening

That is indeed where we are at this time.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
We find ourselves with almost a 4 hour wait in Bromyard before we are able to board the next and last bus of the day, the 2215 First Bus 420 service to Hereford, Country Bus Station arriving at 2245 on Thursday.

Deciding not to bear the cost of an overnight stay at the Green Dragon Hotel, we have enough time to make our way to the railway station, where we board the 2307 ATW service to Crewe that arrives there at 0106 on Friday morning.

Your post of #4000 will need to be striked through in that case then

?? I don't have a post of #4000. That's trainfan's and is fine - apart from being too quick for me

#4001 is mine - already stricken through

Anyway we are out of the mire - on with the game

We spurn the opportunity to make the world-famous "Friday-only...one way" parliamentary service to Stalybridge, as this would mean waiting too long on the station, so instead, we board the 0828 First TPE service to Cleethorpes that arrives there at 1051 on Friday morning.

 

[Class20]

We are just in time to catch the 10:55 Northern service to Barton-on-Humber, arriving at 11:42 Friday morning

We walk to the bus stop at the station and board the 1146 Stagecoach in Lincolnshire service 450 to Immingham (County Hotel) that arrives there at 1230 on Friday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

Just as we arrive we see the service we want departing, so wait half an hour and board the 13:00 Stagecoach Lincolnshire service no 45 to Grimsby (Bus Station) arriving there half an hour later at 13:30 Friday Afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

0016 KFTPE service to Blackpool North arriving there at 0130 on a Saturday Morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We check on onward connections and find there is a very early Saturday direct service into the former milltown regions, so resigning ourself to a wait we eventually see that we can then board the 0456 Northern service to Colne that arrives there at 0622 on Saturday morning.

 

[transportphoto]

Realising that in a twisted mind, Blackpool was much nicer (I doubt it but...) we find ourself boarding 2S13, the 0650 Northern Rail service, back west toward Blackpool Pleasure Beach arriving there at 0836 on a Saturday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Blackpool is pretty fabulous, to be fair!

We then board the 0854 number 1 bus operated by Blackpool Transport to Cleveleys (Square), arriving there at 0925 on Saturday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]
