Summer 2018 crawl

Me and Nev are scheduled to get into Stoke at 10.38AM , so by the time we've caught the bus I expect we will be in Newcastle nearer 11.30AM, ..

Please don't tell me I have to start doing research - I thought the bus was ~10mins..?

OK, the 25 bus from opposite Stoke station goes every 20 mins (1107, 1127, etc) and takes about 23 minutes to get to Newcastle bus station (it goes to the hospital and around the estates).

Or you can walk to your right out of the station approach, right at the end, under the railway then over the river, left at the council buildings and right to pass the minster. At the end is Church St, look for Stop Q on the right, opposite side. When I did this in April my train got in at 1133 and I caught the 11 bus at 1142, so it's not far. The 11 bus goes at 20 minute intervals (1102, 1122, 1142 etc) and takes only nine minutes to get to Newcastle.

I've taken a copy of the spreadsheet that Will produced with the 22 potential targets and created a map (https://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubcraw...under-lyme.php) of them which some may find helpful.

Bear in mind the numbering is based one the order they are listed on the spreadsheet, not the order one might attempt to do them.

That's fantastic!

Now if you could just combine that with the times of all the buses between and around Stoke on Trent, Newcastle under Lyme and - only if you have time - Etruria as well, that would be great!


Oh, just remembered: Ashton under Lyne as well, just in case.

(Sorry, can't find a "just kidding, pay no attention" emoji.)

Also above and beyond, thanks Dave!
