I think that's it in terms of any other onward travel so we return in the morning and enter the station opposite for the 0905 Transport for Wales service 1S16 to Shrewsbury, arriving there at 1016 on Sunday.

Have only just realised that from Penzance there was one more option available being a bus to St Ives, but as lovely as St Ives is, do we really want to be there late on a Sunday night in winter? Probably not....

Anyway, from Ashby, we next board the 1438 Arriva Midlands service 29 to Glenfield (County Hall), arriving there at 1605 on Monday (assuming it's the same bus throughout with the timetable split at Coalville?).

Unfortunately a bit too far from Red Hill Circle where we could access longer distance services, so instead we walk for 11 minutes 0.4 mile to the Rainsford Crescent bus stop on Halifax Drive where we camp down for the night before returning in the morning for the 0642 First Leicester service 54 to Stocking Farm, Butterwick House arriving there at 0647 on Tuesday morning.
