Thanks, wasn't sure, it's confusing with all these different timetables!

We take the 2014 Southern 2K58 service to Crystal Palace arriving at 2034 on Friday.

Sorry, but there's a ten minute minimum connection time at Clapham Junction, except switching from Southern to Southern which is five minutes. So you might want to select the next service.

Well the minimum connection time here at Dormans is four minutes, and tragically, the next service back is in three minutes! I don't think we can waive the rules here, despite Dormans only being a small station, so we'll have to wait for the next service, which is the 2246 Southern service 1L71, which we take to the terminus of London Victoria, arriving there at 2339 on Friday evening.

It's okay. Plenty of buses and trains we can catch from Victoria!
I'm a bit reluctant to use the London buses as it's difficult to know what they are running. Most services should now be on a Sunday service but not all, as more change over from the weekend.

To this end, we will enter the underground station and board the 0001 District Line service to Ealing Broadway (assuming it is still running) arriving there at 0032 on Saturday morning.

I believe buses are on a revised weekend timetable, so I'd go with a Saturday or Sunday timetable.

There's a service at 0048 or 0118?

Sorry, I got it into my head the previous journey had arrived at 2am

That's okay.

Well to save delaying the game, if we were to get the N205 at 0118 instead of 0218, I'll assume the N8 is an hour earlier from Liverpool Street at 0202 instead of 0302 so are we happy to continue from Gants Hill an hour earlier at 0248 instead of 0348? Essentially just going back in time an hour?

Sounds good to me!

Unfortunately, the minimum connection time here is 5 minutes and there's a 128 in two minutes. We wait the half an hour at stop CH for the 03:20 Stagecoach London service 128 to Romford (Romford Station Stop Z), arriving for 03:54 in the early hours of Saturday morning.

London buses are generally running a Saturday timetable, but it can vary. Thankfully TfL have made a useful list for that.

Didn't know the 128 was 24 hour!

We next board the 0401 Stagecoach London service N86 to Chadwell Heath (Whalebone Lane), arriving there at 0411 on Saturday morning.

Surprisingly a ridiculously infrequent tube service operates from Upminster (even with the restricted timetable) and the next H&C Line isn't until 0634, so instead we board the 0543 Stagecoach London service 248 to Hornchurch Town Centre, arriving there at 0549 on Saturday morning.
