Belle Dingle Belle's Abusive Marriage to Tom in Emmerdale Tom King Share By Carena Crawford Jul 26 2024 By Carena Crawford Jul 26 2024 Belle Dingle finally escaped abusive husband Tom King in last night’s Emmerdale. But one particular thing left fans more than a little confused. After jumping on a local bus and giving them all the change she had, Belle managed to get from Wales to Yorkshire in record time and with no cash or phone to help. So how did she do it? Belle managed to get away at last (Credit: ITV) Belle escapes Tom in Emmerdale Wednesday night (July 24) showed flashbacks to Belle and Tom’s week together at a holiday cottage. From every morning Belle carefully buttering his toast, just the way he liked it, to Tom’s abusive and manipulative behaviour getting worse and worse, the episode was a masterpiece of television. But it was Tom locking Piper the dog out all night that was the final straw for Belle. Especially when he then blamed her for not bringing Piper inside, even though Tom had locked Belle in the house. Taking her chance while he was in the shower, Belle grabbed Piper, locked Tom in the house and ran. He jumped out of a window and chased after her through the rolling fields. Fortunately for Belle a local bus was driving by and she flagged it down to pick her up. The kindly bus driver took one look at her, saw Tom chasing and raging after her and ushered her on. She even told her her few pounds would take her ‘as far as she needed’. article continues below Read all the latest spoilers At least she’s safely home (Credit: ITV) How did Belle get back to Yorkshire in Emmerdale? Given Belle and Tom were holidaying in a remote cottage far, far away from anyone or anything else, it was something of a surprise when Belle seemingly managed to get the local bus service to drive her all the way to back to the Dales. Or at least somehow she made it back – in pretty much record time as well – with no cash, no cards and no phone. Nothing but a dog. Piper’s cute, but we don’t reckon cuteness pays a bus fare! So how did she do it? Cain and Charity also made it there and back at supersonic speed (Credit: ITV) Fans ask the question Fans are wondering the same thing! “I wish I could get a bus from Wales to Yorkshire (at all, not to mention for a fiver or whatever Belle had). Not very realistic. England & Wales are separate. Most won’t let you off with being 5p short, on a train earlier or later than booked, with a dog etc etc…” declared one confused viewer. Another added: “Bloody hell Belle, the bus driver wasn’t lying. That all-day bus ticket DID allow you go as far as you wanted!” “Now I love Emmerdale, but how did Belle get from wales to Yorkshire on no money?!” questioned a third. A fourth agreed: “Ok….so Belle travelled all the way from Wales to Emmerdale by bus with just a few pence on her??” “How did Belle pay for the bus home from Wales without her phone, when she gave her last £3.50 to the local bus driver?” queried yet another. Meanwhile a sixth said: “I’m impressed by how Belle got that bus back to Leeds which would have taken six hours. Or did she catch a coach which the cheapest ticket would have been £20. Yet she could only give the bus driver £4? I’m confused!” So are we! Emmerdale usually airs weeknights on ITV at 7.30pm. Classic Emmerdale usually airs every weekday on ITV3 at 6am and 6.30am, plus 1.40pm and 2.10pm.
