Today I took in the delights of the Peak District by bus and train as follows: 24177 Stagecoach Merseyside 10A - Prescot Road - St Helens 722 Arriva North West 35A - St Helens - St Helens Junction Class 156 - St Helens Junction - Manchester Piccadilly Class 185 106 - Manchester Piccadilly - Sheffield P337 ROO TM Travel 214 - Sheffield - Chatsworth House - Matlock - Picture from flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bubblin40/5921608018/ Credit: Bubblin40 690 TrentBarton 6.1 - Matlock - Bakewell. Picture from Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bens_transp...540860229/ Credit: D192FYM 788 High Peak TP - Bakewell - Buxton. Picture from Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/guy_arab_uf/7441748090/ Credit: Guy Arab UF Class 150 - Buxton - Manchester Piccadilly Class 156 - Manchester Piccadilly - St Helens Junction Taxi - St Helens Junction - Home Credit to all from Flickr as I didn't manage to get pictures of the vehicles travelled on. Highlight of the day has to be being on top deck of P337 ROO as we went to basically the front door of Chatsworth House as we couldn't turn round in the normal space due to coaches being in the way. All in all a superb day with brilliant weather. |

RE: Bus-Related Outings & Reviews
Looked fine this afternoon wirralbus and quite a lot of people around the grounds today as well with it being a fine and dry day. In fact apart from the recent Speke Hall Shuttle, the 214 (Sheffield - Chatsworth House - Matlock) and the Sunday variant 215 (Sheffield - Bakewell - Chatsworth House - Matlock) are the only bus services I know to actually run into the grounds of historic places of interest (unless of course someone knows different or I have forgetten something similar which is likely). |

Am I right in saying the Arriva North West Weekly Ticket is £18 and that this also covers Wales? |
