Assuming that Wigan Royal Albert Infirmary is the same site, we next board the 1823 Go North West service 623 to Chorley (Coventry Street), arriving there at 1852 on Friday.

Bee Network database of services do not reveal a service 623.

Is the Coventry Street stop the same one referred to as Collingwood Road, by Coventry Street....or a different one?

The 632, surely?

Is the Coventry Street stop the same one referred to as Collingwood Road, by Coventry Street....or a different one?

Looks to me to be the stop called Coventry St on Pall Mall in the Collingwood Rd area, also referred to as "Collingwood Rd (Coventry St)". A confusing name when bustimes seems to call the area after a road - I've no idea whether locals would do the same!!!

We walk (7 min / 0.3 mile) to the southbound Coniston House stop, which appears to be on the actual Collingwood Road, where we await Tyrers Coaches service 118 at 1912. We alight at Eaves Green (Lower Burgh Way) at 1921 on Friday.

That appears to be it for the day with no other service nearby so we return for the first 118 of the day the 08.13 to Chorley Bus Station arriving at 08.31 on Saturday.

Apologies, computer glitch

 

[ValleyLines142]

Bee Network database of services do not reveal a service 623.

The 632, surely?

Yes, just typed a wee bit too fast maybe. It was indeed the 632. But could also be because my parent's house is 623.

Is the Coventry Street stop the same one referred to as Collingwood Road, by Coventry Street....or a different one?

Collingwood Road is half a mile back.

Looks to me to be the stop called Coventry St on Pall Mall in the Collingwood Rd area, also referred to as "Collingwood Rd (Coventry St)". A confusing name when bustimes seems to call the area after a road - I've no idea whether locals would do the same!!!

If so, that is rather stupid to say the least!

That appears to be it for the day with no other service nearby so we return for the first 118 of the day the 08.13 to Chorley Bus Station arriving at 08.31 on Saturday.
