A good while ago I bought a (secondhand) car from a garage in Ashington.
I caught a bus to Newcastle and went to the Haymarket bus station and looked for a bus to Ashington.
The next scheduled one didn't arrive so I moved towards another stand for a later bus when the original one arrived - 20 minutes late!
Having embarked those still waiting, the driver 'set off'.
He obviously knew the route (and his vehicle) and drove 'flat out' (except where there were speed cameras) - quickly, but safely.
By the time we reached Ashington he told me he was 'back on schedule'.
