At some point last year there was a gap of about six days.

Leaving the railway station, we take the two minute walk to the adjacent bus stop and there board the 1811 more Bus Breezer service 40 to Swanage (Bus Station) that arrives there at 1845 on Tuesday evening.

We next board the 1910 More Bus Breezer service 40 to Poole (Bus Station), arriving there at 2010 on Tuesday evening.

Taking advantage of the maximum wait time, we visit the cinema next door before then returning to board the 00:05 Yellow Buses service 1a to New Milton (Whitefield Road Terminus), arriving there at 00:52 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Interesting how the last two services to New Milton leave at 18:10 and 00:05 the next morning...

We then get the 1105 Stagecoach South service 3 to Camberley (The Meadows), arriving at 1206 Wednesday morning.

We were slightly too late for the weekly bus to Woking, unfortunately - it seems odd to have a weekly service linking two places with a frequent train service, and buses are are least hourly to most places on the route

Hold - the move from Richmond to Embankment is being queried, there's no point continuing at the moment.
