[ValleyLines142]

We then make the quick transfer to the bus station and board Warrington Coachways route 37A at 2245 to Altrincham (Interchange), arriving there at 2324 on Wednesday evening.

We decide to call it a night, and resume travel on the 07:25 GO Goodwins route 285 to Warburton Green, Green Gate arriving 07:42 Thursday.

On the way, we pass "the greatest thing this world has ever seen"

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Not too much to do but wait at the bus stop until we board the 0822 Go Goodwins (circular) service 285 to Ashley Heath (Arthog Road/Alan Drive) that arrives there at 0826 on Thursday morning.

Which I take to be the football stadium that is the home of Altrincham FC.

We then board the 164 operates by Arriva North West at 0954 to Market Drayton (Bus Station), arriving there at 1009 on Thursday morning.

Ashley Heath is part of Altrincham.....Market Drayton is in north Shropshire. That last posting only gives a journey time of 15 minutes to conect these two settlements....hock:hock:

I have contacted TfGM who say that no bus service links these two settlements.

I may be thinking of another Ashley.

I'll delete said post shortly

PS: 15 minutes too from 0954 to 1009, not 13





So to clarify, we are at Ashley Heath (near Altrincham), having just alighted off the 0822 Go Goodwins (circular) service 285 that arrived there at 0826 on Thursday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Under the clarified rules of this quiz, I name state.....RESUME

 

[Trainfan344]

We then board the 09:13 Manchester community Travel service no 21 to Altrincham (Altrincham Interchange) arriving there at 09:23 Thursday Morning

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0935 number 11 bus operated by Stagecoach Manchester to Wythenshawe (Bus Station), arriving there at 1011 on Thursday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Not too long to wait before we board the 1025 Arriva North West service 18 to Trafford Centre bus station that arrives there at 1119 on Thursday morning.

 

[Trainfan344]

Next, we board the 11:30 110 First Greater Manchester service to Salford (Shopping Centre) Arriving there at 11:56 Thursday Morning

 

[ValleyLines142]

I think the Trafford Centre is absolutely out of this world!

We then board the 1256 number 37 (The Rose Line) bus operated by First Manchester to Farnworth (Church Street), arriving there an hour later at 1335 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

We then board the 13:40 First Greater Manchester "The Green Line" to Manchester Shudehill Interchange arriving there at 14:37 Thursday Afternoon

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then make a very quick change onto the 1445 Stagecoach Manchester number 217 to Tameside General Hospital, arriving there at 1554 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1612 First Pioneer service 350 to Uppermill (High Street/Commercial Hotel) that arrives there at 1645 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1708 number 184 (The Purple Line) bus operated by First Manchester to Oldham (Bus Station), arriving there at 1737 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time for a trip into the local hills, so we board the 1821 Stotts of Oldham service 407 to Denshaw (Ripponden Road/Denshaw Junction Inn) that arrives there at 1843 on Thursday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

As travel connections out of Denshaw are limited, we jump back on the 1847 number 407 operated by Stotts of Oldham to Oldham Mumps station, arriving there at 1910 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We walk to the Metrolink station and board the 1919 Manchester Metrolink service to Chorlton metrolink station that arrives there at 1957 on Thursday evening.

The query could be on the matter of the same service run or the timetabled service in a reverse direction when a terminal stop has been used.

The previous move was on a timetabled service that terminated so it would not be against the rules to board another service on the same route. In this case though you would not be allowed to board the next 407 as it departs less than 5 minutes after you arrived and the rules require a minimum of 5 minutes interchange time.

That last posting has contravened the highlighted section of the rules extract above as I understand the reading of them.

The query could be on the matter of the same service run or the timetabled service in a reverse direction when a terminal stop has been used.

I was thinking this, but officially it's a new timetabled service. Plus in the case of Denshaw, as far as I can see there's no alternative method out!

RESUME

I have made a posting just above this to enable matters to commence.

 

[Zoe]

We next board the 1612 First Pioneer service 350 to Uppermill (High Street/Commercial Hotel) that arrives there at 1645 on Thursday afternoon.

See above, the previous move is not valid as the minimum of five minutes interchange time was not left.

Void move as five minutes between moves is required. I know you could in theory just jump back on the same bus but I'd like to keep the rules consistent and it also prevents people just doing the reverse of a previous journey when in some cases other options would be available. As per the rules you have 1 hour to submit a new move, if not then then it's open floor from Denshaw.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We shall just await matters to resolve themselves.

If it is any help, the 354 service also serves Denshaw to Ashton-under-Lyne

 

[Zoe]

Is this the posting that has been queried in its validity ?

Yes, the next move was on a service departing only four minutes after the arrival time in the previous post.

 

[Buttsy]

As we've missed the last bus out of Denshaw that evening, we trawl a few pubs and try to find somewhere to kip.

Waking up on a park bench to a misty day, we jump on the 06:36 from Denshaw, Dumfries Avenue to Oldham Bus Station, arriving there at 06:59 on Friday morning


Hopefully the above gets us out of the impasse we have at the moment as I think the hour is up for posting of a new move.

The hour started from the time the post was declared void, not from the time of the original post so it becomes open floor at 12:20 if Dan hasn't posted by then so at this time it's still up to Dan to post the next move from Denshaw.

OK, I'll strike through
