I note the temptation to use the Heart of Wales 0908 service was avoided.

Didn't even notice it in fairness, although the service on there is sporadic.

It does seem a pity that a bus station with plenty of onward services to use was ignored by the need to take a seven minute walk to a railway station for a service.

What is with the running commentary for every post? That's two within the last hour....

We are at will to do whatever we wish on here, as long as it is within the guidelines, and last time I checked I don't think there was any notice about being forbidden to transfer from Basingstoke bus station to the railway station.

By the way, bustimes.org says it arrives at 09:00, then waits for 5 mins and departs at 09:05 so I think you may have gotten departure and arrival times mixed up.
