And we catch one of the frequent 105 buses from the central bus station at 0550 touching in with our Oyster card as money is now of no use. The bus makes good time and gets us to Southall (South Road) just before 0614 Saturday morning.

Not our day as the chemist had shut at 1 o'clock so we could not get something for the weekend. :(

So hopping on the No 88 which was right on time at 1912 Falmouth was our destination for fun.

Getting off at The Moor Falmouth at 1924 Saturday evening it was a quick trip to the ATM before the considering the hedonistic delights of Market Street.

Er too far to walk at about a mile according to Google maps:(
Rules

You may not re-board the service just used in the previous post
You should use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
You shouldn't wait for more than two hours after the first available service (to any destination) has left, after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
You may walk up to about half a mile when changing modes to a stop in the vicinity, if you wish.

Back to the bus timetables I fear.

Which lets us make the connection to the 2105 No18 bus to Cambourne which drops us of at Truo rail station taking less than six minutes for the journey of just under a mile. Looking at the clock we see it is just after 2110 on Saturday evening

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Following the receipt of a number of PM, I have decided to end my self-imposed exile from anything non-rail related

We walk to the bus station across from the side entrance and find there is still a very late onward service available, so using our waiting time viewing the sea scene, we return to board the 2340 First in Devon and Cornwall service 17B to Carbis Bay (Count House Lane) that arrives there at 0010 on Sunday morning.

I'm very pleased to hear this, although to be fair I knew you'd only last a week or so with this exile :lol:

We then cross the road and board the 1320 NX 501 service to LONDON, Victoria Coach Station, arriving at 1950 on a Monday evening.

We then board the 2005 Arriva London service 38 to Hackney Central Station, arriving there exactly an hour later at 2105 on Monday evening.
