Loving the discussion (I hate the word "banter"... )

Anyway, with my phobia of us getting stuck in Liverpool for as long as we were just on the south coast (!) we cross platforms and board 2F52, Northern's 0652 service towards Wigan. We alight at Bryn at 0723 on Tuesday.

[ValleyLines142]

We're too far away from the railway station and also too late for anything other than the 471/472, so we wait for the 2129 Arriva Merseyside service 472 to Birkenhead (Whetstone Lane), arriving there at 2200 on Tuesday evening.

Just pipped to the post.
