Number crunching

Bolton Bus Station

I caught 30 buses and 2 trains on my six day trip from Thurso to Brighton, over a journey of roughly 1068 miles. In addition to that, I caught a further 3 trains, 2 planes, 1 bus and 1 National Express coach getting to and from the start and finish points.

(Edit: I also caught another bus in Worksop. It was a double-decker. I thought it was heading to Retford, but instead it was operating in the opposite direction and ended up back in Worksop again. I didn't catch any further details, as I was in rather a fluster. I have thus excluded it from my figures!)

Here's a table summing up the different types of buses and coaches I caught on my trip:
