Just a note:

We can go through to the next day, the 23:00 is only an 'even if there are night services' deadline, so if we can go somewhere we can't stop before. So we now can use any service within two hours of the first in the morning.

In case this happens again, this is the correct course of action to take.

Oops. As I hadn't updated the page, I didn't see your move to Maiden Newton. The last post I'd seen was to Yeovil Pen Mill. We both used the same service but yours was first.

As Maiden Newton has no more services now, the move to Filton Abbey Wood is still valid. From there, we exit the station, and take the ten minute 0.5 mile walk alongside the MoD to the bus stop outside Sainsbury's where we board the 0949 First West of England* service 19 to Kingswood (Kings Chase Centre), arriving there at 1022 on Tuesday morning.

* As of June 2017 all First operations in Bristol, Bath, South Gloucestershire and Somerset are all merged to First West of England.
