Fortunately there are "sleeper" coach services

Walking briskly to the nearby coach station, catching the National Express catching the 406 service that departs at 00.15 Sunday morning, pausing at Taunton Dean Services for 30 minutes in the middle of the night, and arriving in Earl's Court at 6.10 Sunday morning. (Specifically London (Earls Court), West Cromwell Road, Tesco, Stop D)

or there were in the 2009 timetable...unfortunately it looks like a sprint and late running coach would be required now

If I were to hazard a guess, based on the time taken on that last journey from the Plymouth area, would I be correct in thinking we had arrived in Bristol?

Was my last move a valid one? The only stop I could see which matched the description was at UWE Frenchay campus.
