17...

I had a funny feeling the answer to this one would be 17. Only, I was thinking of Scarborough. Not too far out then! :p

Is the correct answer. It is just chance, the connection to my punt earlier. Did you know or were you basing it on that?

In all honesty, both!

Let's try this one then (note I will remember the terminus area this time!):

This route starts in Bristol and connects it with a large example of at least one of the following: Hospital; University; Shopping complex. It has seen massive growth in patronage over the last couple of years, in spite of increasing competition along much of its route. Its digits when added together total somewhere between 10 and 15 inclusive.

The 76 serves Southmead Hospital and the digits add up to 13, which is greater than 10.

The 75 serves Bristol General Hospital.

What number is inclusive?
I noticed that, hence my 'at least 10' reference. I was to late with my 75 guess though.

:shock: Now corrected. So instead of forgetting the terminus I made another howler :oops:

[insert "15" here]

It wasn't a major problem, bigger than 10 probably eliminated ~30-40% of routes. I was more concerned about the extreme number of hospitals in Bristol.

I believe after my correct guess it would be my go :D



I start at a park & ride, stop only at the town centre, one hospital, and run direct to another one. My bus route is also used to transport NHS records in a lockable cupboard on the bus.

Alas, we require a geographical location.

Somewhere in Calderdale (Yorks) this bus starts at a bus station, runs to a housing estate at the top of a hill, and back down again. This service is reasonably frequent.

Deerfold has it, Tyrers of Nelson operated service T1 is correct. Although the T2 would fit the description. Over to you Deerfold.
