No probs!

We exit the station, via the main entrance off platform 1, to the bus stops opposite on Wyndham Place, where we board the 2329 Bluestar service 18 to Thornhill (Dumbletons Towers), arriving there at 0000 on Saturday morning.

(Don't think we've ever had a bang on midnight arrival before but happy to be corrected!)
