Assuming we're at Craigentinny bus depot as I can't find a Marine Roundabout on any journey planner, we next take the seven minute walk to Portobello Road and board the 1936 Lothian Buses service 19 to Granton (West Granton Road/Granton Park Avenue), arriving there at 2023 on Friday.

I assume this is the valid move we continue from.

We walk to Union Square Bus Station and take the 1720 Scottish Citylink / Megabus service M92 to Perth, Broxden Park & Ride, arriving there at 1925 on Saturday.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
We next board the 1420 Stagecoach North Scotland service X25 to Dornoch (Cathedral Square) that arrives there at 1557 on Saturday.
Apologies for being too late with this posting for it to count at the time it was made, but it confirms my belief that attempts to use the bus services that cover the land area north of Inverness are doomed to be thwarted.

We move outside the station to next board the 2325 Southern rail-replacement bus to Bexhill that arrives there at 2350 on Sunday.
We don't go off the rail replacement bus, we go off the standard working timetable (WTT), which in this case is the 2325 Southern service 1U93 arriving at Bexhill at 2335.

As we are within the overnight travel relaxation timeframe regardless, we take advantage of this and return in the morning for the 0518 Southern service 1F05 to Cooksbridge, arriving there at 0624 on Monday.
