We walk to the nearby Gilbert Rd stop and take the 1911 National Express West Midlands service 82 to Birmingham (Dale End), arriving at 1933 on Saturday evening.

We walk the 400 yards to Birmingham Moor Street railway station and board the 19:55 Chiltern Railways service to High Wycombe where we arrive at 21:13 on Saturday evening.

We then board the 21:59 Chiltern Railways service to Bicester Village, arriving there at 22:21 on a Saturday.

 

[DerekC]

To avoid being stuck here for the night we can walk 800 yards to Bicester Town Centre (Manorsfield Road) where we catch the 23:15 Stagecoach Oxford service S5 Gold to Oxford (Magdalene Street) where we arrive at 23:47 on Saturday evening.

Note: the S5 calls at a stop called Bicester Village, but this is at the other end of the retail park and (I think) more than half a mile from Bicester Village railway station.

Mindful that there is a 15 minute minimum connection time at this large railway station, we enter the station and board the 1044 South Western Railway service to Martins Heron that arrives at 1148 on Sunday morning.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 9 minute 0.5 mile walk to Whistley Close and board the 1206 Courney Buses service to Bracknell, Bus Station arriving at 1212 on Sunday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Mindful that there is a 15 minute minimum connection time at this large railway station, we enter the station and board the 1044 South Western Railway service to Martins Heron that arrives at 1148 on Sunday morning.

That appears to be a VAR timetable. The standard WTT for Waterloo to Reading services is at 09 and 39 minutes past the hour from Waterloo, arriving into Martins Heron exactly an hour later. A check on Real Time Trains for Sunday 15th March confirms a standard WTT. Therefore, as you correctly state about the minimum connection times, this would fall foul of the fifteen minutes at Waterloo. You could use the 1109 to Martins Heron, arriving there at 1209?

We next board the 10:18 London Central service 1 to Waterloo Station where we arrive at 10:28 on Sunday morning

This is the last valid posting from which the quiz should be continued.
