Wwe've had several instances where we've been deposited just out of range of other onward connections (Posts #44524, #44577, #44596 and #44601 spring to mind....).
This arrival in Sixpenny Handley seems to fall into that category stated above and if my timetable reading is correct, to go onwards in either direction means a very long wait.

Unfortunately we only have the 20 available here with no further buses until 13.39 back to Blandford but not wishing to back track we wait for the 14.38 to Salisbury, Tesco arriving at 15.10 on Thursday.

There's a typical saying....a taste of one's own medicine :D

That one being the last one to make an outward evening journey on, we take advantage of the overnight travel relaxation rule and next board the 0640 Southern Vectis service 7 to Carisbrooke (High Street) that arrives there at 0726 on Saturday.


NOTE...times altered to the correct Saturday times that were kindly mentioned in the following posting.
