Another long bus ride follows, this time on open top bus, this time on the 16:30 more Bus service Breeze 50 to Swanage Bus Station, arriving at 17:50 Wednesday afternoon.

This service involves the bus getting on a ferry across the mouth across Poole Harbour. Is this, like I meant to ask when I used the Gatwick Inter-terminal link, the first this has happened in the game (at least that you can easily remember even if you don't check) (Bus on Ferry)?

How have we got the 1420 bus when we arrived at 1611?

 

[A Challenge]

Fixed, sorry, I planned off the 14:11, despite looking at this for onward rail, which I decided not to!

 

[ValleyLines142]

Not to worry!

We then board the 1805 More Bus 'Breezer' service 40 to Poole (Railway Station), arriving there at 1903 on Wednesday evening.

Desperate for some cover after two rather long moves riding on Open Top busses,we board the 19:50 South Western Railway service 2B76 to Fleet, arriving at 21:53 Wednesday evening.

 

[High Dyke]

We then walk the 7 minutes (0.4 miles) to Leas Road Bus Depot, and get the 00:01 Arriva Kent and Surrey service Guildford Shuttle to Guildford Spectrum Leisure Centre (Stop B), arriving at 00:06 Thursday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Not sure if this will be allowed in this next instance but purely because the Guildford Shuttle takes us literally one stop back to the bus depot, we stop off overnight and board the only other route that serves the leisure centre. This is the 0727 Stagecoach South service 100 to Guildford (Friary Bus Station), arriving there at 0735 on Wednesday morning.

If anyone objects please speak up now however I don't know what other option there is.

 

[A Challenge]

I believe there isn't, going to the Spectrum quite often I didn't realise about the (maybe not much use) Shuttle I used, just the P&R bus (100)

We then get the 07:45 Arriva Kent and Surrey service Max 35 and get off at the nicely round time of 09:00 at Knaphill (adj Queens Road)

This service runs via a very odd route, as it does Guildford to Woking via Horsell. Here is a driving map for the route

 

[ValleyLines142]

No not at all, I must admit it is odd that it is served solely by a P&R and a shuttle bus!

We embark further on as we board the 0924 Arriva Kent and Surrey 'Max' service 34 to Camberley (Pembroke Broadway), arriving there at 1002 on Thursday morning.
