Matthew hadn't been out since Saturday, and he was getting a little bored. We went for a short drive that took us through Newcastle and Longport. We filled up with LPG and then set off home. On the way home we saw 40180 in Trentham on the 22. I found somewhere to pull over and Matthew took a picture of this bus.

I looked up the timetable on the Traveline site and decide that he could go home and have his tea and then come out again and get this bus in. After tea, I surprised Matthew by telling him we could catch 40180. We had a long walk to Magdalen road to pick up this service. After about 5 minute the bus appeared from around the corner.

We did this to Longton Hall Road, just in case there was a service 23 due. At the bus stop I used the text service and found out that there was no 23 due on a Sunday evening so we waited for 40180 to come back.

As Matthew was relatively good on this short trip, he can look forward to other similar extra trips once every few weeks (Mark)
