We wait a few hours and return for the 0503 Great Western Railway service to London Paddington arriving at 0955 on Wednesday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

Surprised to have left Cornwall so quickly, we await 1C77, GWR's 1035 departure from Paddington, alighting at Hungerford at 1125 on Wednesday.

 

[Andy Pacer]

Next we take the 1141 Great Western Railway service to Bedwyn arriving at 1148 on Wednesday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

We leave from the station bus stop at 1250 on service 20, operated by Go South Coast Ltd, t/a Swindon's Bus Company. We alight at Marlborough, Savernake Hospital at 1300 on Wednesday.

We next board the 1415 Swindon's Bus Company service 20 to Ham (the bus stop opposite the Crown and Anchor PH on Main Street) that arrives there at 1441 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[-Colly405-]

Interesting stop, at the end of a double run, so we await the 1602 from the same stop, and alight at Hungerford (adj Church Way Foot, on Salisbury Rd) at 1609 on Wednesday.

Surprised to have left Cornwall so quickly.

There wasn't much we could have done at 0150 in Penzance of all places

Interesting stop, at the end of a double run, so we await the 1602 from the same stop, and alight at Hungerford (adj Church Way Foot, on Salisbury Rd) at 1609 on Wednesday.

We take the two minute walk to the Atherton Crescent bus stop, where we board the 1646 Newbury & District service 3 to Newbury (Newbury Wharf), arriving there at 1740 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[-Colly405-]

We leave on Newbury & District service 9 at 1815, alighting at Newbury Racecourse Home Straight at 1823 on Wednesday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

All we can do here, other than return straight back to Newbury, is take the 11 minute/0.5 mile walk back to Newbury Racecourse station and board the 1849 Great Western Railway service 2K49 to Reading West, arriving there at 1911 on Wednesday evening.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 1928 Great Western Railway service to Mortimer arriving there at 1938 on Wednesday.

[Vexed]

We take the 10 min / 0.5 mile walk to St Johns (London) railway station and wait overnight for the first service of the morning, boarding the 0532 Southeastern service to London Bridge, arriving at 0541 on Thursday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

[Vexed]

We exit the station, walk to the bus stop outside, and wait for 0758 Stagecoach South East service 304. We stay on board for the rest of the route, disembarking at 0910 to Hawkhurst British Legion Hall (Stand D) on Thursday.

Google Maps seems to have an outdated timetable compared to bustimes.org and the Stagecoach website, so does not have this bus.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Looking forward to a long bus ride, we are in good time to board the 1505 Metrobus service 272 to Crawley (Bus Station) that arrives there at 1706 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

With a numb bum after such a long journey, we next board the 1725 Metrobus service 23 to Worthing (Marine Parade), arriving there at 1902 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1922 Stagecoach South service 700 to Littlehampton (the bus stop adjacent to Selwyn Avenue on Courtwick Road) that arrives there at 2017 on Thursday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

Our only option is to remain with this half of the 700, so we walk 9 minutes (0.5 mile) to the North Ham Road stop where we board the 2028 Stagecoach South service 700 (which is probably the vehicle we've just alighted from, after it has been round the loop).
We alight at Rustington (Shops) at 2043 on Thursday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Not much in the way of alternative bus services at this time of the day, so we next board the 2143 Stagecoach South service 700 to Portslade-by-Sea (the bus stop adjacent to Station Road on Wellington Road) that arrives there at 2246 on Thursday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

We walk (10 min / 0.5 mile) to the railway station where we board the 2257 Southern service towards Littlehampton. We alight at Angmering at 2323 on Thursday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Having almost inadvertently returned back to Rustington shops, we can still continue here at Angmering as we board the 2352 Southern service 2S95 to Hove, arriving there at 0026 in the early hours of Friday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Not wishing to leave the station at this unearthly time of the night to seek any alternative mode of transport (as allowed by the rules) and using the overnight travel relaxation rule in order to rest (especially the one in the group who earlier suffered from a "numb bum" after an earlier long bus ride), we relax and await the first available train service, boarding the 0505 Southern service to Portsmouth & Southsea that arrives there at 0619 on Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

With Portsmouth being somewhere we've frequented too fairly recently, we next board the 0626 South Western Railway service 1T20 to Micheldever, arriving there at 0730 on Friday morning.
