So no Middlesborough - you can never take things for granted

There's nothing like a long Cross Country journey if you want outta somewhere fast

We take the 1053 XC service to Plymouth arriving at 1742 Sunday evening

At least this one is normally an HST rather than a Voyager

Except we were going back and forth and now I feel sick :p

We next board the 1825 FGW service to Camborne that arrives there at 2000 on Sunday evening.

We then board 1A40, the 2138 First Great Western service to London Paddington, arriving there at 0508 on Monday morning.

I hate XC HSTs!

We leave the railway station and take the two minute walk to the bus station where we board the 1945 Arriva Cymru service 3 to Llanstumdwy (Village Road) that arrives there at 2004 on Monday evening.

Is this the Eglwys stop, which is the church?

This is the name of the stop at 2004, not Village Road.

Traveline Cymru includes Village Road as well as Eglwys in the name of the stop - so yes it is

We continue from Llanystumdwy, Eglwys, Village Road at 2154 and ride to Porthmadog Park A High Street arriving at 2213 Monday evening

POSTING OF CLARIFICATION OF A POSTING MATTER RECENTLY MADE

I actually took the trouble to ring the Traveline organisation prior to making my posting and was told that the bus stop itself was situated on Village Road and the time of arrival at that particular bus stop was indeed 2004

The problem, however, is that Traveline isn't the most accurate source. Furthermore, there is more than one bus stop on Google Maps, hence why I wanted to check. I looked on the Arriva timetable, who operate the service, and they list every single stop and there's stated at 2004 it was at the Church.
