The Transport Game

[Xenophon PCDGS]

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 service 407 from Denshaw, Dumfries Avenue to Oldham Bus Station, arriving there at 06:59 on Friday morning

As the hour has elapsed with no return from DanTrainMan185 in that period, open floor ensues. Can I suggest that the above posting made by Buttsy allows progress to continue. I can confirm that this is the very first service on either the 354 or the 407 routes that departs from Denshaw.

Yes, I'm happy to accept that move now.

 

[Buttsy]

Just to make it official (and to add in the service number which I forgot in my previous posting):

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 and a stonking hangover, we jump on the 06:36 407 service by Stotts from Denshaw, Dumfries Avenue to Oldham Bus Station, arriving there at 06:59 on Friday morning

I tried to look for the 354 but that finished early too.

Game moves
You must depart from the station or stop where the previous post arrived using a permitted timetabled public transport service. The minimum connection time for the station or stop must be allowed for. Where this is not published, a minimum interchange time is considered to be five minutes. You may not reboard the service used by the previous post. In your post you should clearly state the time your service departs, the company who's service you are using and the time and day of arrival at your chosen destination. If arriving by bus or coach then you name should the area in addition to the stop name.

Waiting
You must use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time.

Walking
You may walk in order to change modes but you may not walk between stations of the same mode although you may walk to a different bus stop at the same location for example by crossing the road in order to travel in a different direction.

A valid move has now been posted by Dan so we can continue.

We board 2J06, the 1520 Northern service to Manchester Victoria, arriving there at 1604 on Friday afternoon.

This is where we are.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The light of sanity and reason seems to have been lit again..


We next board the 1700 Northern service to Clitheroe that arrives there at 1810 on Friday evening.

A reading for the day

And it came to pass that one day, that Paul was making his way through the forum pages and came across a member whose eyes had great difficulty in understanding the rules on quizzes and games. Other forum members who were in spirit with Paul asked ....
" Has this forum member sinned on threads in recent times, causing him not to understand what his eyes do see?"

Paul then spake thus to those forum members ....
"Neither this forum member nor any other forum member with such an affliction have sinned on threads, but the works of Paul should be revealed to him"

With that, a PM was sent to the forum member into his inbox which said "Go and read the rules of those quizzes and games". The forum member did this and came back to the forum with his eyes reopened with the light of understanding. Paul saw this and saw it was good.

Here endeth the lesson for the day.

We now catch Holmeswood Coaches Bus 25 from Clitheroe Interchange at 1837, arriving at Blackburn Town Centre (Boulevard) at 1935 Friday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Not too long to wait to board the 1957 Lancashire United service 4A to Feniscliffe (Whiteley Road) that arrives there at 2010 on Friday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I must admit, I've had a few difficulties looking for further bus routes out of Feniscliffe. Luckily, research tells me that Cherry Tree railway station is a mere six minutes walk away, so we head there and board 2S19, the 2040 Northern service to Blackpool South, arriving there at 2137 on Friday evening.

I do hope this is a valid move, after recent events!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leaving the small terminal railway station, we walk to the Royal Oak bus stop where we board the 2157 Blackpool Transport service 11 to Lytham (Square) that arrives there at 2226 on Friday evening.

 

[Trainfan344]

We then board blackpool transport bus number 7 at 22:42 to Blackpool (Town Centre, Topping Street) arriving there at 23:24 Friday Night, (Blackpool North Station is just a 5 minute walk away!)

 

[ValleyLines142]

I know both of those buses very well indeed!

We then board the 2333 number 9, also operated by Blackpool Transport, to Cleveleys (Bus Station), arriving there at 0007 in the early hours of Saturday morning.

 

[Trainfan344]

Happily, we walk to the tram stop to find we haven't missed the last tram and board the 00:33 Blackpool Tram to Pleasure Beach arriving there at 01:04 Saturday Morning

 

[ValleyLines142]

I've been on that last tram at that time of night! :P

We then party in true Blackpool style before boarding the 0606 tram to Bispham, arriving there at 0628 on Saturday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to stay with the current mode of travel and board the 0658 Blackpool Tramway service to Fleetwood London Road stop that arrives there at 0720 on Saturday morning.
