Beat me to it @backontrack - I guess it gives me more options though!

We now board the 19:31 First Norfolk & Suffolk service 101 to Gunton, opp Stoven Close, arriving at 19:45 Thusrday evening.

 

[backontrack]

It was the last Thursday bus on out of Southwold - we didn't have any other options!

Next, we board the 20:46 First Norfolk & Suffolk route 101 bus service to Lowestoft (Asda), arriving there at 21:03 on Thursday evening.

Next, we board the late-night 23:05 greateranglia rail service towards Ipswich, alighting at Stowmarket at 23:35 on Thursday evening.

 

[DanTrain]

Whilst waiting two hours at a station such as Stowmarket would be more realistic as the station doesn't see frequent services.

Having no need of our specifically dictated 2 hours here, we board the 23:51 Greater Anglia service 2W37 to Needham Market, arriving at 23:55 Thursday night.

[DanTrain]

We appear to be stuck. Buses (as far as I can work out), run to Little Downham but not from Little Downham on a Friday at this time. Is there a way out without waiting till Saturday?

 

[backontrack]

We're staying for the night with friends who live in Little Downham. The next day, we wave farewell to them and board the 08:18 Lord's Travel route 125 bus service to Ely (Market Street [Stop C] ), arriving there at 08:30 on Saturday morning.

 

[kevconnor]

Apologies did I take us to a bit of a public transport dead end? I was entirely enticed to that journey by going to California.

I feel sorry for the local residents, these buses keep coming in all day but only return in the morning, imagine all the disgrunled, stuck passengers! (ok, probably not that many, but still)

I wouldn't worry too much Paul; National Express run daily unless otherwise stated and I can't imagine the timings on the 25 are much different on a Saturday than in the week.

These two postings do need to be amended, however, to show the correct day, and I will change mine now.
