We then board the 0813 Metrobus servce 400 to East Grinstead (War Memorial), arriving there at 0944 on Froday morning.

A lovely route and right past my house in Crawley, shame we couldn't use the 0653 or 0712 509 to get there.

However it does mean we can have a nice break before joining the 1035 Metrobus service 84 to Turners Hill, Tarana arriving at 1058 on Friday morning.

This stop is not on Traveline, it is a minute before the Withypitts Pond stop towards Crawley or a minute after towards Haywards Heath/East Grinstead.
Therefore we could use the 1103 service 82 to Haywards Heath, it leaves the Crown at 1101, and gets to Tarana 2 minutes later.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We make our way to the adjacent bus station and take First in Hampshire's X5 departure at 0649 for Warsash Village arriving at 0502 Saturday morning

Can the arrival time please be checked as it is said to be I hour 47 minutes BEFORE its departure time.

 

[dzug2]

Should be 0802 - sorry for typo

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

the 3 minute walk to the bus stop adjacent to Locks Heath School on Warsash Road, we next board the 0823 First in Hampshire service X5 to Lee-on-the-Solent (Esmonde Close) that arrives there at 0940 on Saturday morning.

 

[dzug2]

That's more than a 3 minute walk - it's something like a mile.

As the bus actually left Warsash Village at 0819 it doesn't make any difference to the outcome though

From Lee on Solent Esmonde Close we take the X5 at 1008 and travel to Fareham Station arriving at 1040 Saturday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

That's more than a 3 minute walk - it's something like a mile.

Another thing to blame Traveline for, as this is what they said in their notes...

It may well do what you say, but posting # 6680 still gives a departure time of 0802 and posting # 6682 further confirms that time and this is what my posting was based upon.

Traveline SW giving a misleading itinerary/times


We then take the 1237 Southern service to Southampton Central, arriving at 1419 Saturday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

As this busy station surprisingly has only a 5-minute minimum connection time, we are therefore lucky to be able to board the 1424 SWT service to Wool that arrives there at 1534 on Saturday afternoon.

On entering the railway station, we are fortunate once again that there is a rail connection due very soon, so we then board the 1906 SWT service to Overton that arrives there at 2059 on Saturday evening.
