I seem to remember about 10 years ago, there was a daily service from Liverpool to Baslow (Derbys) run by Hulleys, which must have taken a good 2 or 3 hours to do

Apparently, there used to be a daily 702 service Cardiff-Cwmbran-Builth Wells-Rhayader-Newtown-Wrexham-Chester-Liverpool.
Some distance that, about 300 miles!
Anyone got any memories/pictures?

Not as long as the Cardiff example, but at one time the East Midlands X67 "Lincman" service ran Liverpool - Manchester - Stockport - Marple - New Mills - Chesterfield - Lincoln
