Had I been born a century earlier, I would have been the promotor of the Prestbury, Wilmslow and London Junction Railway....:D

We leave the single platform station and take a brisk walk to bring back the circulation to our legs after that last journey, then considering our options, we decide to see what Milford Haven has to offer for the rest of the afternoon, so we return to the station and board the 1614 ATW service to Milford Haven that arrives there at 1629 on Wednesday afternoon.

I note that we are now on Thursday on this quiz, after the previous posting, but that posting seems to conflict with the posting made prior to it, if an examination of the times are to be taken into account.....

I believe that would be a void move as there's no way that a bus stop in Paganhill can be considered as serving Whiteshill when there is a bus available from Whiteshill. Sorry for not noticing this earlier. So as to not interfere with subsequent posts though, I'm happy to accept that the bus suggested by dzug2 was taken before your move from Paganhill. This keeps us on track at Bourton-on-the-Water.

Ok then, didn't know what the rules where, and didn't realise about the bus, but ok thanks for the info.

I can assure you I have every idea - it's arguably better served now than it has ever been




Pulham's 801 again takes us at 1540 from Bourton to Northleach Market Place arriving at 1554 Friday afternoon

If it's better served now, i hate to see what it was like in the past...

We then wait for the 16:35 Swanbrook 853 service to Oxford, St Giles, Taylorian Inst arriving there at 17:45 on Friday Afternoon.
