Is anyone not going to a hospital this Tuesday ? :D

Re: Help!!!!
 

Its ok i wasnt asking for a lift - i got the times of the trains, a walk down fishergate to the bus station and catch the bus up to the hospital. I'm fine. Whether i get back is a different matter but im ok.

Yes i have done willow and according to the bus timetables they are supposed to run every 6 minutes from the bus station. Yes it is the number 19 that goes up to the hospital as well as 22, 23 all direct and the the orbit 88a and 88c which is indirect. Trains leave accy at 29 and 06 and coming back 31 and 55.

Re: Help!!!!
 

How did it go ?

Re: Help!!!!
 

Ok here goes do you want chapter and verse?

It costs £6.30 return Accrington to Preston. When you come out of the train station go to the top of the road and turn right. Walk along on the left hand side of the road and take the next turning after the early learning centre. Walk down there in front of the guild hall and head for the guild hall centre walk through there and down the subway and that brings you out onto the bus station - its about 10 mins walk if that. Depends on how many shop windows you look in! :D Then the bus runs from stand 19. It is bus route no 19 as well. It costs £1.10 for the fare and make sure you have the right change - they dont give change out. Stay on the bus past the turning circle - it goes through the estate but after that it goes into the hospital grounds and drops you off outside the main entrance. When you are coming back make sure you get the number 19 bus - not the orbit 88a/c or any of the rest. If it says Asda wait for the next one (Asda it will take you to the bus station but it takes about an hour to get there!). No i didnt catch that someone told me about it. Takes about 15/20 mins to get there on the bus from the bus station.

I left home at 12.30. Caught the train at 13.06 from Accy and got into Preston about 13.30 wandered down fishergate past all the shops and caught the bus roundabout 1.45 and was dropped off outside the hospital at 2.00. Coming back i wandered into the shops in Preston - thats why i didnt catch the train back till 16.31!

By the way - according to the weather forecast it was supposed to chuck it down today and be very windy.

So i went prepared - waterproof jacket and fleece underneath.

It didnt rain until i got back into accrington and i was walking from the train station to the bus station and even then i was walking in front of the town hall before it did start raining.

Typical!!!! :o
