I hate to be that pedant, but post #59159 was pipped by post #59158, therefore we should continue from here...
Very lucky you posted this when you did, as the ruling states that if there any rule breaches, this shouldn't hold up game play, especially where there has been more than five moves (or 24 hours has elapsed) since the posting in question, and it has just been five moves.

We exit to the westbound Station bus stop on the Wokingham Road from where Reading Buses service lion 4a whisks us to Reading (Minster St, stop MM) where we arrive at 1837 on Monday.
We take the seven minute/0.3 mile walk to the station and board the 1852 CrossCountry service 1O24 to Brockenhurst, arriving there at 1957 on Monday.

Yup indeed, I don't think this is one we needed to go back for, but we won't go back and try again for the second time.

Grateful to have had the opportunity to ride the Seaton Tramway, as on previous visits we've not bothered and hastily got on the next available bus out of the town, we next board the 1310 Stagecoach South West service 44 to Heavitree (East Wonford Hill/St Loyes Road), arriving there at 1416 on Tuesday.

As we are at one of the termini of said route, and having checked the diagram on Bus Times that the same vehicle forms the return working so is therefore a guaranteed connection, we next board the 1500 Stagecoach South West service 4A to Exeter (Paris Street), arriving there at 1527 on Tuesday.

The 42/42A/42B/42C/42D group of Citybus routes are such a mess. Back in my day there was the just 42, on what was similar to the current 42D route...

A lovely village, but with no other services at this time of day so we re-board the same vehicle on Plymouth Citybus service 42A, departing at 0835. We alight at Mutley Plain (stop M4) at 0917 on Wednesday.
