If you catch the 22 where will you end up?

Think the one in Sheffield goes from Wybourn to Nether Edge
the one in St. Helens ends up on Dodd Avenue, Eccleston not sure where it starts though but it goes through town (i'll find out for tommorow).

I'm bored.

Where's the yawning-falling-on-one's-sword-from-boredom emoticon? Really, Ardross (and IS), as healthy and presumably virile young men, what on earth are you doing thinking about bus routes at this time of night? Get back to the 'dance' thread and behave yourselves!

Yeah, well I got a bit bored at the time so that's my excuse, as for bringing it up now the 89 takes me to right by my mates missus house for a house party before going to the airport if that helps anyone in Merseyside.

ps. it is the most boring thread about.
 
Martin, look, it's over, and you weren't even nominated for the A*s* C*p. :shy: There's no point trying to look a*rs*y now, though if you work a lot harder than this feeble effort, you MIGHT get a nomination for the upcoming Great Yawns series. Points scored by the most snore-inducing posters will culminate at the end of next year in the Great Bore of the Year floating trophy.

Contestants starting new ROOSTER BOOSTER threads should note that these will not count towards the Great Bore trophy, although the poster submitting the Best Repetitive Load of Cobblers about the horse will win a framed print of ISTABRAQ.
 
In case anyone's interested, I shall be engaging in some Number 12 bus boarding activity this evening. I shall be alighting in a particularly nasty part of Glasgow. I may not return. If I ain't posting tomorrow will someone phone the authorities and point them in the direction of Sighthill (Yes Sol, that of the 2 man teams only at all times). :what:

Thank you for your help.

There's a train line in China which is 19.84 kilometres long:








CHENGDU: Newly-weds Wang Jianhua and her husband Wang Hengkun felt that the happiest moment in their wedding was the ride on the steam locomotive in their home town, Jianwei County, in Southwest China's Sichuan Province.

They participated in a joint wedding together with eight other couples last Friday.

The ceremony started at 9:30 am at the county's biggest open square. Jianwei County is about 140 kilometres south of Chengdu, the provincial capital.

After they exchanged rings and made their vows, each couple also adopted a banyan tree along the county's main road, as a witness and symbol of their marriage.

The young Wangs' have a special attachment to the steam-powered train.

Wang Hengkun once worked as a repairman on the small railroad.

Wang Jianhua, the bride, said her grandfather had also worked for the maintenance department of the steam-powered rail line.

The local railway, only 19.84 kilometres in length, zigzags through the hilly county with only eight stops.
 
And, if some of our rail companies ran it, it would take six hours to complete the journey from one end to the other. (Except on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, when you'd have to walk as no trains would be running.)
 
I once had lunch in the disused sidings of Springbank Railway, then a paddle-steamer trip on the Clyde. Although this was way in the 1960s, I can still remember the exciting vibrations of the mighty
