RE: Crosville Club
Just thinking,since the takeover of First Chester & Wirral it's possible to do Chester to John O' Groats solely on Stagecoach buses the route would be; 1/2 Chester-Liverpool X2/2X Liverpool-Preston 40/41 Preston-Lancaster 555 Lancaster-Keswick X5 Keswick-Penrith 104 Penrith-Carlisle or 554 Keswick-Carlisle 79/379 Carlisle-Dumfries X74 Dumfries-Glasgow X24 Glasgow-Dunfermline X54 Dunfermline-Dundee X7 Dundee-Aberdeen 10/10A/10B or 35/35A Aberdeen-Inverness X99 Inverness-Thurso 80 Thurso-John O' Groats Or X99 Inverness-Wick 77 Wick-John O' Groats.

When doing this you have to ensure you leave yourself some give and take for bus connections which are subject to road conditions . |

RE: Crosville Club
That's an interesting thought actually - how far could you get from John O'Groats on just domestic Stagecoach services (i.e. not Megabus/Citylink)? |

Lol , i will leave that to somebody else . It was interesting to see how far you could get in one day though , seems Stagecoach do a lot of long distance work by splitting the journeys up to comply with legislation . |
