Wishing to say hello to the local constabulary, we next board the 1726 Cardiff Bus service 17 to Canton (Police Station) that arrives there at 1748 on Tuesday afternoon.
As we get off the bus, we are sad (or, in some cases, relieved) to discover that the building has been demolished.
We wait and get on the next Cardiff Bus 64 service at 18:02, which takes a seemingly circuitous route towards Heath Hospital. Hoping to catch a glimpse of Dr Who, we alight at the BBC studios in Llandaff at 18:26 on Tuesday evening.

We walk to the station, which is about five minutes walk away, and just see a Cardiff-bound train pull away. We have to wait almost another half-hour until our pacer arrives, forming the 19:26 Arriva Trains Wales service to Maesteg (2L67). We decide to stay on until the end, arriving at Maesteg at 20:10 on Tuesday evening.

2L67 isn't booked for a Pacer. The next one, 2L69, is one though 
also, the Cardiff service that we just missed is booked for a 175!
We then take the short walk up to the railway station and board 2G74, the 2238 Arriva Trains Wales service to Gloucester, arriving there at 0041 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

We then stay the night at The Railway Inn Pub just around the corner from the station (if it's a hotel?!) before waking up on Thursday. We then head to the bus stop outside and take a change of transport modes, as we've been on quite a few railway journeys now, so we board the 0644 First in Bristol, Bath and The West service 265 to Bath (Bus Station), arriving there at 0800 on Thursday morning.

I note a certain someone made a comment about Dorset recently, but the "Greater Bristol area" seems to be an attraction for others...

It's not that it's an 'attraction' per se; just merely going somewhere different every time! Plus I don't think we've been to that area of Bristol at any point on the game, as far as I'm aware.

Not many onward destinations by public transport are available here at this time of the evening, so we wait until the driver at the bus terminal point is ready to set off again and we board the 2220 Stagecoach South West service 1 to Whipton (Warwick Way) that arrives there at 2256 on Thursday evening.

There being only THREE minutes for the last bus service outwards which is not long enough, as it is now almost midnight now so we spend some time watching the River Exe flowing by and we eventually make our way to the railway station where we board the 0624 FGW stopping service to Barnstaple that arrives there at 0801 on Friday morning.
