We will then take the 1800 Arriva Midlands service X55 to Sapcote, The Square arriving there at 1820 on Saturday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Little in the way of onward travel options on early Saturday evening here, so we next board the 1925 Hinckley Bus service X55 to Burbage (the bus stop opposite Elm Tree Drive on Burbage Road) that arrives there at 1937 on Saturday evening.

 

[DanTrain]

It is with a sinking feeling that we realise that despite our urban environment, that was the last bus of the day, and indeed of the week. Unless there's something I've missed, the only buses in the area are the 8 and the X55, neither of which run on Sundays. We therefore find a friendly local to spend the weekend with, before departing bright and early (or even dark and early this time of year) Monday morning to find the 05:21 HinkleyBus service 8 to Magna Park, adj Asda, arriving at 05:44 Monday morning.

This being a request stop station, we give a clear signal to the train driver and there board the 1828 Transport for Wales service to Fishguard Harbour that arrives at 1856 on Monday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

There isn't a lot we can do from here as there are no buses and we cannot board a ferry to Rosslare, so instead we hop back on the train we've just got off and return on the 1908 Transport for Wales service 2E33 to Carmarthen, arriving there at 2002 on Monday evening.

Impossible to walk from Quay Street to Central station in four minutes, especially as it's at the castle end of Westgate Street; the minimum connection alone is seven minutes.
