Bit behind the times here me thinks!The Orange One wrote:Back on the 51 to Slough.
The 51 no longer operates between Staines and Slough. Route 51 is Brooklands Tesco- Staines only.
For slough need to change at Staines for First Berkshire route 71.

Re: The Journey
scrxisi: London Buses route 51 runs from Orpington to Woolwich.
tangy: I shall make a complaint to Thorpe Park. I ask them how to get there and they tell me to go to Slough and take the 51. Shocking.

Re: The Journey
Does that mean that, on this epic journey, we're not where we think we are?

Re: The Journey
It seems we've come to a juddering halt in Staines (last two posts are now invalid!). After a journey that would make our marathon runners and long-distance swimmers balk (walking from Copenhagen to Vladivostok and then swimming to Dublin - really?), we're now lost! Tangy has put us back on track though (not literally as we've just got off a bus).

Re: The Journey
Right then. Walk to Staines High St. Seems like we need a new map, so we'll get one from the WHSmith there...

Locked in, you walk down a stationary escalator (unnoticed), and end up on the Central Line (Westbound) platform for the night..
