According to Bus Times both the X7 and X20 serve Thornhill . The X20 gets there at 08.37 and the X7 at 09.00.

My apologies for not correctly reading that particular timetable. I must be having a bad afternoon.

[ValleyLines142]

There is still one more journey on the 11 back to Blackpool town centre however we'll only get stuck there for the night, so seeing as we're well within the time slot for the overnight rule, we return in the morning for the 0549 Blackpool Transport service 11 to Lytham Hospital, arriving there at 0610 on Tuesday morning.

[ValleyLines142]

Was just planning my next move - you lot are too quick!

Are you sure about 2300? I see a M72 at 2245?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time for an overnight break, so we next board the 0606 Go North East service 2 to Washington (Galleries Bus Station) that arrives there at 0640 on Wednesday morning.

 

[RDP]

Was just planning my next move - you lot are too quick!

Are you sure about 2300? I see a M72 at 2245?

It is 22.45 therefore invalid as less the five minutes after arrival and the next M72 at 00.35 does not serve Sunderland.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Will that query affect the next valid posting to be made? Will it follow on from the posting that arrived at Leeds bus station?

It is 2245 therefore invalid as less the five minutes after arrival and the next M72 at 00.35 does not serve Sunderland.

Just checked the megabus website and there is a 23:00 from Leeds to Sunderland
