We then exit the station and board the 1236 Salisbury Reds service 26 to Salisbury (Fisherton Street), arriving there at 1315 on Thursday afternoon. This is a perfect connection as this bus service isn't very frequent at all!

We then pop into Waitrose before emerging to catch the 1720 Metrobus service 400 to Northgate Avenue Central, arriving at 1821 on Friday afternoon.

NB: The route 100 at Northgate Parade is just a 5 min walk, so if the next poster wants to use that, they can, but I'll leave it up to them. I live within 4 mins of the bus stop on Northgate Avenue.
