At 9am this morning, I was heading for Derry and arrived there about 10.45am.

Actually the journey was a bit disappointing. I thought I might be going thru such towns as Castledawson and Maghera but Park & Ride “bus stops” are a little distant from their “towns”. I am not sure how really convenient this is for anyone actually going to these places.

Breakfast in Derry. And on to Strabane. Spent a couple of hours there. Intended to stop off at Omagh but it was pouring so I just called it a day and headed home. Pics of Constituency Offices in Strabane will be posted later.

But just a thought. New bus fares (effective since late April) were on display on the bus. A single ticket from Belfast to Derry costs ELEVEN POUNDS. Those of us who live within a short distance of Belfast City Centre really have no concept of this kind of fare.
