[Archived] Chorley To Blackburn Bus Route 124

[Ozz]

For as long as I have travelled the route from Chorley to Blackburn on the bus it has followed the Preston New Road route into Blackburn (A674), meaning it was a bit of a walk from Boulevard to Ewood. However, the route has changed, and it now turns right up Livesey Branch Road at Feniscowles and follows the road right into Ewood, making a stop at the stadium . It is the same route back to Chorley too, via Abbey Village, Brinscall, Wheelton etc.

Excellent news for those non drivers or people who wish to leave the car at home from the Chorley area when going to watch Rovers at home.

are you on commission Ozz?

Also can you "Fix it for me" please to have the 152 stop outside Ewood?

I travelled on it for the last home game.Came as a surprise when it turned up Livesey Branch Road.I used to get off at Witton and walk down Spring Lane but this is brilliant especially if you fancy a few beers.

Also,they're every half hour now instead of every hour.

Can you not walk to top of Finnington Lane and get the 124 to Ewood? (Via Royal Oak )

I think Mike should have no trouble getting to the Royal Oak. It's getting him out is the problem.

Can you commission the train to stop directly outside the Navigation rather than Mill Hill station?

[Paul]

Instead of going via Brinscall can you ask the driver to go straight through Wheelton, stop by Thirlmere so we can hop on?

Are you sure you want it fixing for you, Preston? Could end up in all kind of traumas!

Thank you young (sic) man. The trouble is it is probably true.

I could well have a trauma tonight going to Ewood.....it has been a long time and I will need to settle back in the JW Upper with flask, blanket and hearing aid.

You'll need a flask as only a couple of kiosks open, quiet ad thd grave so no hearing aid required!!
