Whoops, still following the Sunday timetable...

After sleeping at the local hotel, we return to the station bright-eyed and bushy-tailed to catch the 0655 Southeastern Javelin service to Stratford International. We arrive at 0729 on Monday morning.

Any better?

No - the first Javelin is at 0520 and is the only legitimate one if you wish to use the Javelin.

We decide to go to Hastings, but favouring the bus for the remainder of the journey we head onto Cooden Drive and, at 10:02, the number 99 bus operated by Stagecoach in Hastings arrives. We board, and arrive at Hastings, Cambridge Road at 10:44 on this fine Monday morning.

The station here is similar to that of Upholland, being a long distance away from the settlement it purports to serve, so we decide to travel to a settlement with a brewery and a number of good antique shops and we board the 1159 Southern service to Lewes that arrives there at 1307 on Monday afternoon.

We then leave the train station and board Brighton and Hove's No. 12 bus at 1416. We alight at Terminus Road, arriving at 1446 on Monday afternoon.


Terminus Road where? And we are (or were) at Mouslecoombe, which the 12 doesn't serve anyway

I think he means Eastbourne, but we had already gone onto Moulsecoomb, and I've given us a move into the Brighton area.

I did mean Terminus Road, Eastbourne. You probably posted as I was writing my next move.

Anyway...
We decide to return to the railway, boarding the Brighton and Hove No. 5 bus at 1513 and alighting to walk to Aldrington, arriving at 1535 on Monday afternoon.

We then head into the train station and travel one stop forward, to Ford, on a Southern service. The time when we arrive is 17:16 on Monday evening.

I'm fairly certain your times are wrong - you leave E. Croydon as we board the train at Crawley.

I think the timings were intended be one hour later than stated

On that assumption we take the next X26 bus from New Malden at 2218 and travel to Heathrow Airport CBS, arriving at 2300 Monday evening

Apologies, I will edit the post.

Dzug2, if you want to continue from New Malden on the next X26, then it will have to be the 2218, as I got off the 2148.

I presume you mean 0012 arriving at 0016?

If that is the case, we board the last London United 216 at 0041 and travel to Staines Bus Station arriving at 0114 on Tuesday morning.

I did indeed - I seem to be plagued with typing one time and meaning another

Anyway signing off now for a few hours

Fortunately, there is an early morning service still available, so we board the 0320 Abellio Surrey service 441 to Heathrow bus station that arrives there at 0353 on Tuesday morning.
