Trivia: Bee Network extremeties

[BuhSnarf]

Hi All,

Quick one, I'm trying to work out what is the most northerly, southerly etc. etc. bus stop on the Bee Network.

I think it's the following but I figured I might have missed one/got it wrong?

North: Dean Head - Calderbrook/Warland (53.669608, -2.084295)
South: Mill Lane - Just north of Airport Runway (53.350917, -2.291386)
West: Spencer's Lane - Orrell (53.540441, -2.716000)
East: Brun Clough - Diggle (53.581910, -1.974498)

Looking at Google Maps, these all appear to be the last one with a Bee Network flag before it changes to the next authority. I know that the Bee AnyBus ticket will allow slightly further travel, but I'm trying to find the actual furthest Bee Network bus flags.

Thanks in advance!

You've transposed East and West in your list.

I can vouch for the northernmost at Dean Head though, scene of many a dispute about cross-boundary fares!

Haha, you are right. I clearly need to brush up on my Never Eat Shredded Wheat!

Is Mill Lane further south than Davenport Arms (terminus of the 42B route)?

I think you may be right, it's 53.338363, -2.172715 and does have a Bee Network flag!

Hi
No you haven't transposed anything, Oldham is many miles east of Wigan.

I've edited and switched them round now

Stagecoach have got displaced ex-Manchester buses still in Bee yellow running around Lancaster & Morecambe at the moment, do they count?

Only if they're placed at the side of the road as a bus stop

The state of them makes that a definite possibility.

Of course Bee Network services extend beyond the GM boundaries - Huddersfield in the east, Lymm in the south.

Warrington in the west

Of course, but I was hoping for just the bus stops that are 'Bee Network' controlled - i.e. have the yellow flags.

Quick one, I'm trying to work out what is the most northerly, southerly etc. etc. bus stop on the Bee Network.

Do you mean the bus stop served by Bee Network, or the bus stop with a Bee Network/TfGM flag?

If the former, the most easterly is Huddersfield Bus Station and the most westerly is (I think) Appley Bridge at Wrightington Hospital. Northerly is Chorley Bus Station, southerly is Handforth Dean shopping centre.

No, the second

Warrington in the west

Soon to be St Helens once the 612 (Wigan to St Helens) starts

No, the second

Dean Head isn't served by Bee Network, only the First West Yorkshire 590, so looking at a map I'd say St James' Church in Calderbrook.

Same in the south at Mill Lane by the airport, in GM but not served by any Bee Network routes, only the D&G 88.

But Dean Head does have a TfGM flag (and accepts Bee AnyBus tickets) from what I can see on Google Street View so for my question appears to be the most northernly?
