OBSERVATION
I see that three journeys have been made on the 5C, but when the first of those arrived at Knott End on Sea, Esplanade at 1834, there was a Kirkby Lonsdale Coaches service 88 running to Lancaster at 1850.

Predictable Preston.
Time for an overnight break. We return and take the ten minute/0.5 mile walk to the railway station and board the 0513 Avanti West Coast service 1A06 to Tamworth, arriving there at 0647 on Saturday.
Better choice of destinations from Preston.
Operatoer is Stagecoach Cumbria & North Lancs.
We next take the 07.02 CrossCountry service 1V03 to Cardiff Central arriving at 09.26 on Saturday.

We next board the 1635 South Western Railway service 1W33 to Hinton Admiral, arriving there at 1833 on Saturday.
1W33 does not stop at Hinton Admiral.

Does it divide at Southampton with part of the train continuing to Hinton Admiral (and Bournemouth) as 2B49?

Yes that, but only weekdays, so I'll amend my post.

Sadly, that has left us stuck for the evening. We return in the morning for the 0922 Great Western Railway service 1V76 to Filton Abbey Wood, arriving there at 1047 on Sunday.

The 6-minute minimum connection time at that station is just enough to allow us to board the 1329 Great Western Railway service to Paignton that arrives there at 1423 on Sunday.

Why? Cardiff isn't a particular difficult station to navigate. Busy, yes, but seven minutes is ample time.
We next board the 1454 Great Western Railway service 1A88 to Newbury, arriving there at 1720 on Sunday.

No other option here so we board the 1840 Great Western Railway service 2K80 to Theale, arriving there at 1910 on Sunday.

I also realised after my Bedwyn move that the very nice general store in the village would be closed at that time on a Sunday, so no chance of any nice cakes.
From Theale we continue forward with the 2009 Great Western Railway service to Reading arriving at 2018 on Sunday.
