Leaving the station, we take the three minute walk to the Olive Branch stop on Heol-Y-Deri. Frustratingly, we just miss one bus so we wait half an hour for the 1506 Cardiff Bus service 21 to Pantmawr (Caer Wenallt North), arriving there at 1519 on Thursday.

That's the Saturday timetable departure M-F is 15.11 and arrival at 15.24.

Unfortunately this leaves us out of range of other routes so we continue on the 15.54 Cardiff Bus service 21 alighting at Maindy, Cathays High School at 16.15 on Thursday.
