Friday 20th

Had to go to Telford yesterday so may as well post the move which turned into a bit of a bash once everything else was done

Walk from Castlecroft Road to Tettenhall Road
AM 3747 - 892 - Tettenhall Road, Halfway House - Telford Bus Station (was chuffed to start with this)
AM 3335 - 44 - Telford Bus Station - Wellington Bus Station (kept peeking at the disappointing eclipse)
Time passes and the sky becomes brighter again
AM 3337 - 44 - Wellington - Telford (bit of a jerky one but had the bus to myself which is a rare treat on there)
AM 3326 - 22 - Telford - Dorley (required)
AM 3321 - 11 - Dorley - Telford
AM 3784 - 481 - Telford - Stafford (was fine until the school rabble who were a combination of snobby, geeky and trampy, more so than the local rabbles)
AM 2383 - 9 - Stafford - Highfields (standing load and thought it was the one I need 2384 so a positioning move)
AM 2369 - 9 - Highfields - Stafford (beast)
AM 2745 - 1 - Stafford, Gaol Square - Queensville Island (lights flickered a bit but a decent Cadet)
AM 3760 - 825 - Queensville Island - Stafford
AM 2748 - 3 - Stafford - Queensville Island (thought it was required)
AM 2714 - 6 - Queensville - back to Gaol Square (much improved)
Time passes with a nosey in Sainsburys
AM 2378 - 76 - Stafford - Wolverhampton (weaves abit but nippy and tidy)
AM DLA - 10 - Wolverhampton - Compton (didn't look at the fleet number but glad it wasn't a Dart)
Walk home from Compton Island

Can anyone think of a round trip which involves spectras, consisting of about 2 and half hours and Icluding journey times to and from Halesowen

[Tara4352]

Can anyone think of a round trip which involves spectras, consisting of about 2 and half hours

244 to Dudley
82 to Wolverhampton.
82 to Dudley
244 to Halesowen

[Trident 4194]

244 to Dudley
82 to Wolverhampton.
82 to Dudley
244 to Halesowen

I don't think you can do that in 2 and a half hours

[Tara4352]

You live in Halesowen don't you
2 x 82 is about 170 mins easy

[Trident 4194]

Yes, I've got to get to dudley though first and then back from dudley, sorry should have made the question clearer

[the trainbasher]

You've got the 82 which if you wanted a short ride on a spectra or two you could change at Priory hall (5 mins from Dudley) or Coseley (20 minutes from Coseley)??

[P419 EJW]

You live in Halesowen don't you
2 x 82 is about 170 mins easy

2 x 82 takes 170 minutes? Blimey. 82 Wolverhampton to Dudley should take 62 minutes, normally 8 minutes break in Dudley, 82 Dudley to Wolverhampton should take 61 minutes. Trips altogether excluding the break should take 123 minutes (2 hours and 3 minutes).

[P419 EJW]

@Trident 4194, You could do:

244 Halesowen Bus Station to Dudley Bus Station (34 minutes)
82 Dudley Bus Station to Wolverhampton Bus Station (61 minutes)
126 Wolverhampton Bus Station to Dudley Bus Station (37 minutes)
244 Dudley Bus Station to Halesowen Bus Station (29 minutes)

The journey excluding waiting times should take 161 minutes (2 hours and 41 minutes).
