We next board the 0846 Stagecoach Yorkshire service 22X to Wombwell (the bus stop opposite Wilko on High Street) that arrives there at 0939 on Monday morning.
We'll now take the Globe Holidays X20 service which arrives at 1007 and we'll stay on board all the way to Doncaster Interchange, arriving at 1057 Monday morning.
Remembering the ten minute minimum connection time at Temple Meads, we next board the 2012 Great Western Railway service 2K60 to Clifton Down, arriving there at 2026 on Monday evening.
Leave the station and head to the Station Road bus stop and at 2222 we'll take the Stagecoach West service 12 to Bristol Parkway Station arriving there at 2305 Monday evening.
That 2333 arrival time allows us "imaginary" travellers time-wise to take advantage of the overnight travel relaxation rule and next board the 0500 First West of England Citylines service 73 to Bishopston (the bus stop near nevil road on Gloucester Road) that arrives there at 0533 on Tuesday morning.
There is a 2A at 0800 arriving at Temple Meads at 0834 so let's aim for that.
We enter Temple Meads station and board the 0840 Great Western Railway service 2E53 to Ashchurch for Tewkesbury, arriving there at 0954 on Tuesday morning.
We'll walk 0.5 miles / 11 mins to Clarence Road - Pitville Gates bus stop and we'll then wait for the 1155 Pulhams Coaches 606 service to Winchcombe - after old Police Station, arriving there at 1242 Tuesday afternoon.
We next board the 1346 Stagecoach West service N to Cheltenham (the bus stop opposite Holy Trinity church on Portland Street) that arrives there at 1359 on Tuesday afternoon.
Walk 10 mins / 0.5 miles to Cheltenham Promenade where we can pick up the 1420 Stagecoach West service to Swindon Bus Station arriving there at 1620 Tuesday afternoon.
We then walk around the corner to Swindon Railway Station, catching the 1640 Great Western Railway 1A27 service towards London Paddington, arriving at Reading for 1710 on Tuesday evening.
We exit the station to the bus stops on Station Road, where we board the 1735 Reading Buses Little Orangesservice 19B to Royal Berkshire Hospital (South Wing), arriving there at 1747 on Tuesday afternoon.
We next board the 1802 Reading Buses service 3 to Arborfield Garrison (the bus stop adjacent to Harvest Ride) that arrives there at 1831 on Tuesday evening.
We next board the 1925 Reading Buses Lion service 4 to Earley (the bus stop adjacent to Meadow Road on Wokingham Road) that arrives there at 1939 on Tuesday evening.
Still stuck with the 4/X4 here, and we're just too far away from Hawkedon Way for the 21, so we take the nine minute/0.4 mile walk to Earley station, where we board the 2014 South Western Railway service 2C68 to Feltham, arriving there at 2104 on Tuesday evening.
Avoiding heading back towards the Reading area once again, we next board the 2202 South Western Railway service 2C74 to London Waterloo, where the minimum connection time is fifteen minutes, arriving there at 2307 on Tuesday evening.
Noting the minimum connection time of 15 minutes, we make our escape from the London area by next boarding the 2323 South Western Railway service to Alton that arrives there at 0042 on Wednesday morning.
Understandably, that is it for the rest of the night, so we return in the morning for the 0542 South Western Railway service 1A12 to Brookwood, arriving there at 0615 on Wednesday morning.
