We then board the 1149 CrossCountry service 1V08 to Cardiff Central, arriving there at 1431 on Tuesday afternoon.

The headcode for that previous service by the way is 1S41 not 1E32 :)

That journey above was in excess of the two hour rule requirements (2101 arrival time in the previous posting)

I have a different journey that falls within the two hour rule requirements.

We take the four minute walk to St Lawrence Hill and board the 2117 First South and West Wales service 302 to Prendergast (Sydney Rees Way) that arrives there at 2152 on Tuesday evening

Now we do remain stranded here, so I don't think it would have made much of a difference if we waited for the train for +2 hours or if we took this latest move. Anyway, we stop overnight somewhere and board the 0856 Taf Valley Coaches service 381 to Tenby (South Parade), arriving there at 1005 on Wednesday morning.
