After a jolly visit to the nearby Mucky Duck we brace ourselves for the journey to come
There ain't no craft gin servin' gastropubs where we're goin'
After boarding the 16:57 Stagecoach Hampshire Bus 67, and after what would have been a very scenic journey if it were daylight we alight in the tumbleweed-blown square in Petersfield at 18:08 on this Thursday evening

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England

It most certainly did and there are bus stops on both sides of the road outside the Royal Norfolk Hotel in Bognor Regis where we always use as our base when holidaying in West Sussex. The route appears to be split in two:-
60.....Midhurst to Chichester
600...Chichester to Bognor Regis.

The 51 is the only service that serves Selsey at this time, so we re-board the same bus, now forming the 2025 Stagecoach Gold service 51, alighting at Chichester, The Hornet (W-bound) arriving at 2052 on Thursday evening.

Unfortunately we remain stranded (thank you Paul :lol:), so we call it a night before boarding the 0601 Stagecoach South service 700 to Portsmouth (Gunwharf Quays), arriving there at 0638 on Friday morning.

This is a tricky one as the X4/X5 only seem to run in one direction at this point!

We then board the 0924 First Southampton service X5 to Southampton (West Quay), arriving there at 0938 on Friday morning.

We then board the 1100 Bluestar service 9 to Dibdeb Purlieu (St Andrews Church), arriving there at 1131 on Friday morning.

A consultation to the ecclesiastical master reference book that I use on the Settlement Association quiz reveals no settlement as Dibdeb Purlieu, so you most certainly have the advantage of me on that matter.

The nearest name to a settlement similar to that is a village of the edge of the New Forest called Dibden Purlieu

I think it is obvious it is a typo, considering the fairly rare spelling of the name anyway, which you have even corrected in your post.

Please carry on. It's 1131 on Friday.

This is the only route serving this area, and there aren't a lot of places we can go, so we board the 1603 Xelabus service X6 to Chandlers Ford (Precinct), arriving there at 1618 on Friday afternoon, in the hope that we can switch onto a different service as it's a little repetitive I think.
