According to the timetable online that service actually arrives at Oxford Road Lay By at 1840, so we have just enough time to board the 1845 Swanbrook Coaches service 853 to Gloucester (Market Parade), arriving there at 1945 on Tuesday evening.

We then get the 06:15 Transpennine Express service 1S32 to Edinburgh, arriving at 09:36 Thursday morning.

Please include the day of arrival, Thursday. I judge that a cross platform interchange doesn't take the full interchange time of 10 minutes, as well
