Mr. Turner said on Friday, February 10, 2023, ``I wore bus-patterned socks! I have to get on the bus soon ...' and announced that I started the trip.




Turner has created a PDF detailing the buses he traveled on and shares it onGoogle Drive . Mr. Turner traveled by bus from his home to the manor house , from the manor house to Enfield Town, from Enfield Town to Potter's Bar . After that, I traveled about 540 km from Potters Bar to Berwick-upon-Tweed in the northeast of England, using a local bus with a fare of £2.

Mr. Turner got on the following 15 local buses, 9 local buses on the first day, 5 on the 2nd day, and 1 on the 3rd day.

・From Potters Bar to Luton
・From Luton to Milton Keynes
・From Milton Keynes to Northampton
・From Northampton to Leicester
・From Leicester to Derby
・From Derby to Chesterfield
・From Chesterfield to Sheffield
・From Sheffield to Barnsley
・From Barnsley to Pontefract
・From Pontefract to Leeds
・From Leeds to Whitby
・From Whitby to Middlesbrough
・From Middlesbrough to Newcastle
・From Newcastle to Alnwick
・From Alnwick to Berwick

After that, I arrived in Edinburgh by changing the bus from Berwick-upon- Tweed in Scotland to Earlston (8.5 pounds: about 1400 yen) and the bus from Earlston to Edinburgh (7.5 pounds: about 1200 yen).

Mr. Turner publishes the state of movement from London to Edinburgh on his Twitter.

Mr. Turner first took a bus from Potters Bar to Luton. This bus is called Dragonfly, and the seat has a USB port that can charge a smartphone. The reason why this bus is called Dragonfly is that the aircraft called Dragonfly manufactured by the aircraft manufacturer De Havilland Aircraft Company was built in Hatfield on the route of the bus.




On the second day after changing local buses, we arrived in Leeds, 274 km away from London.




A station on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway that we stopped by in Whitby. It seems that he was able to stay in Whitby for only a short time, but he tweeted that it was a very good place.




Since then, I have continued to travel by taking multiple buses. It seems that there was a luxurious bus with a table light in the local bus Mr. Turner got on, but he said, 'Although it had a USB charger, it did not work.'




Annick arrived at the end of the second day.

On the third day, we finally arrived in Scotland. So far, I was able to ride a local bus with a fare of only 2 pounds, but in Scotland it seems that I moved with a bus of 3 pounds or more.
