Is that the stop in Chedworth that is at the Village Hall or is it the one that is near the crossroads ?

We would love to stay longer and admire this pretty Cotswold village, however the sparse bus service means this isn't practical. Therefore, observing the minimum connecting time we board the 11:45 Pulhams Coaches 855 service to Cirencester, Corn Hall (on Market Place) arriving at 12:32 on Tuesday afternoon.

Yet another settlement with a cunning plan to offer no onward services in the early afternoon to ensure any unaware passenger disembarking there has to spend both some time and money in the local establishments until the next bus arrives, so we resign ourselves to following the strictures ensuing from this quaint local custom and pass the time away until it is time to board the 1628 Pulhams Coaches service 852 to Stratton (opposite The Plough) that arrives at 1652 on Tuesday afternoon.

Without time for a pint, we make a note to one day return here, and so we head to the stop for travel in the direction we came from and board the 17:04 Pulhams coaches service 852 to Gloucester (Market Parade) arriving there at 18:03 Tuesday Afternoon

We next board the 1835 Stagecoach in Cheltenham service 94 to Cheltenham (Promenade) that arrives there at 1907 on Tuesday evening.
Whilst there are plenty of buses leaving the Promenade during the evening, the variety of destinations is rather limited. Basically Gloucester.
We decide to take the 98 Stagecoach service at 1930 and get off at the intermediate stop of Churchdown opp Bat and Ball at 1947 Tuesday evening.

Sorry Paul I cannot identify the service you have just travelled on either on Stagecoach .pdf timetable or Traveline Southwest
Complicated by Tuesday being Christmas eve and services shutting down early - but even using the normal timetable as I believe we should there's no 98 departure at that time.

I appeared to have taken regard of a very old timetable, so I have "struck-through" the posting in question.

I have posted this extract from the quiz rules that covers services on those two particular "quiz days", which should cover any timetable queries raised.

My previous posting has been amdended...thanks for your locally-inspired knowledge.
A new follow-on posting can be made.
Sorry Paul - I've got myself thoroughly confused - as well as you. Your original move if I recall it correctly was fine. It was my correction to my move that went badly wrong
We are in fact at Ashchurch station turn and it's 0939, having left your arrival stop (0932) at 0937 when the previous 41 bus came back from its circuit round the housing estates. I hate these circular routes
It's your (or someone else's) move
Tries and fails to inset embarrassed smilie

My original posting is now reverted back to what was there originally. I must confess that I assumed that you were making a somewhat gentle reminder regarding the wording of my posting when I read your following posting.
However, as my posting shows an arrival time of 0937, the next posting that makes an allowance for a 5 minute connection time cannot depart until 0942 or later

This is the posting that the quiz should continue from.
