We next board the 1806 AGA service to Southminster that arrives there at 1837 on Sunday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Not really much we can do here as there are no buses serving Southminster on a Sunday, so we head back on 2J25, the 1906 Greater Anglia service to Wickford, arriving there at 1937 on Sunday evening.

We take the 1940 GA service to Stratford, arriving at 2020 Sunday evening

(minimum connection time seems to be only 2 minutes)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The BR TIMES website shows the minimum connection times as being:-

Stratford (London)...........7 minutes

Stratford International......5 minutes

The BR TIMES website shows the minimum connection times as being:-

Stratford (London)...........7 minutes

Stratford International......5 minutes

It was Wickford I was referring to - to justify the 3 minute connection

Sorry, it was not a follow-on posting from yours, but just some general information on the two stations at Stratford.

I was not querying your stated minimum connection time at Wickford, which indeed was totally correct.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Heading across to Stratford International station, we then board 1J64, the 2044 Southeastern service to Deal, arriving there at 2200 on Sunday evening.

 

[dzug2]

So much engineering work it's difficult to tell what's a 'normal' service

Using SE Trains booklet:

We take the 2231 SET from Deal to Folkestone West, arriving at 2302 Sunday evening

 

[James Wake]

We then continue on the 2317 SouthEastern service to Ashford International, arriving at 2334 on Sunday evening.

Presumably this is the 1105 as opposed to the 1005?

Anyway, moving away from the capital now, we then board 2O50, the 1237 Thameslink service to Luton, arriving there at 1429 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]
