Keeping us moving through the night, and alighting somewhere that has plenty of connections so early on a Sunday, we take the 2350 National Express service 422 to Luton Airport Bus Station arriving at 0505 on Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Is there actually that many on a Sunday morning?

[Andy Pacer]

There are probably more local bus services than many other places!

Coincidental that we are now at a station I will be visiting in reality shortly, although on a Sunday morning the trains aren't yet running.
So we will wait for the 0702 National Express service A6 to Stansted Airport arriving at 0822 on Sunday morning.
