Then get the 20:09 Southern service to Faygate, arriving at 20:15 Monday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We've been left in an very unfortunate predicament as there are no other bus or train services from this location, so we call it a night before boarding the 0642 Southern service 2C78 to London Bridge, arriving there at 0753 on Tuesday morning.

Then walk across to the Southeastern side, and get on the 08:06 Southeastern service 2K12 to London Waterloo East, arriving at 08:10 on Tuesday.

 

[James Wake]

We next make to the South West Trains concourse at London Waterloo, deciding on a class 455 ride on the 0842 South West Trains service to Fulwell, arriving at 0919 on Tuesday morning.

There is a 23 from Faygate Roundabout at 2020 towards Crawley, shame it was a 9 minute walk away.

 

[A Challenge]

Then get the 09:23 South West Trains service 2H22 to New Malden, arriving at 09:39 on Tuesday morning.

 

[James Wake]

That's only 4 minutes, but knowing Fulwell well as I work around the corner, I'm happy to take it and carry on, we next board the 0947 Go-Ahead London service 213 to Sutton, Bus Garage (Bushey Road) arriving at 1019 on Tuesday morning.

 

[A Challenge]

I take the view the only reason why simple two platform stations like, say, Fulwell and New Malden don't take 5 minutes (unless you have a bike in the New Malden example, as I have!) is as they aren't interchanges so the five minutes isn't changed, so it is acceptable to use them as four (or even less sometimes) is OK!

Then, taking advantage of the hopper fare, get the 10:24 easyBus service 413 to West Sutton Station (Stop A), arriving at 10:39 on Tuesday morning.

I agree with the interpretation of Fulwell, however the 413 is operated by Quality Line. As two trains have just left West Sutton, we join the 1054 Quality Line service 413 to Morden Station, arriving at 1115 on Tuesday morning.

This is my source for the bus operator for TfL.

Morden Station, as the name suggests, is a station, but instead of entering you walk down the road the 0.5 miles (11 minutes) to Morden Road tram stop, and get the 11:29 Croydon Tramlink Line 3 service to Wimbledon, arriving at 11:34 Tuesday morning

 

[ValleyLines142]

There is a 23 from Faygate Roundabout at 2020 towards Crawley, shame it was a 9 minute walk away.

Have to say I didn't notice this when I was exploring the local area. If it was within the permitted 0.5 mile transfer it would have been perfectly valid! Not to worry anyway....

[A Challenge]

The get the 14:21 Abellio Surrey service 456 to Woking Station (Stop 6), arriving at 14:35 on Tuesday afternoon.

I am not sure aether this effects it much but the bus stops have been moved from the bus station outside the station further up to here on street view even if the street view is too old with there being no road or pavement past the bus shelters, so this may effect walking distances

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1500 South West Trains service 1W29 to Dorchester West, arriving there at 1705 on Tuesday afternoon.

It is, although I've always thought the same.

 

[A Challenge]

I hadn't noticed it was banned, but I don't know why,even if you did have to leave a one and a half hour (for example) connection!
