Hmm, I was just looking to see what was available, as the problem I saw at Selwyn Ave was that Google says it is 0.9 mile walk (18 mins) from Littlehampton Station, so the only option was to be the next 700 back towards Brighton.
Am I missing something?

I found my information by looking at the information from a journey planner website. After what you say above, that is one website that I shall never make use of again.

As such, I have struck-through the posting that I subsequently made.

We now walk to Littlehampton railway station and take 2P64, the 2045 Southern railway service to Bognor Regis, where we alight at 2101 on the Tuesday.

We are just in time to board the 2106 Stagecoach South service U7 to Chichester (University), arriving there at 2127 on Tuesday evening.

We are just in time to board the 2106 Stagecoach South service U7 to Chichester (University), arriving there at 2127 on Tuesday evening.

There's three bus stops with the same name of University, of which two this service stops at.

There's not really much here, and I don't feel like going back to Bognor again or waiting 85 minutes for the next U7 to Westgate, so we take the 7 minute (0.4 mile) walk to the bus stop outside the hospital grounds (St Richard's Hospital Entrance) and wait for the final 2212 Stagecoach South service 55 to Chichester (Bus Station), arriving at 2221 on Tuesday night.

 

[ValleyLines142]

That's a bit stupid having 3 stops all the same name!

Anyway, we cross over to the railway station and board the 2240 Southern service 1C71 to Gatwick Airport, arriving there at 2356 on Tuesday evening.

Noting the 10 minute minimum connection time that applies here, we next board the 0014 Thameslink service to Littlehaven that arrives there at 0032 on Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

That is it for the remainder of the day, so we rest for a couple of hours and return to the bus stop outside the station for the 0402 Metrobus service 200 to Ifield (Parade), arriving there at 0426 on Wednesday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

I think it's time to leave the south coast, so let's walk the 0.5 mile to Ifield railway station to board 9J08, Thameslink's 0535 service, alighting at Sandy at 0734 on Wednesday.

We exit the station and board the 0758 Stagecoach East service 72 to Biggleswade (Bus Station), arriving at 0827 on Wednesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We exit the station and board the 0758 Stagecoach East service 72 to Biggleswade (Bus Station), arriving at 0827 on Tuesday morning.

I think the day is WEDNESDAY, looking at previous postings.

We next board the 0837 Stagecoach East service 73 to Bedford (Bus Station) that arrives there at 0931 on Wednesday morning.

 

[Bacon_BMW]

Next we board the 0942 Stagecoach East service 10 to Goldington (Tesco), arriving at 1002 on Wednesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Just a general query....why do some journey planner websites still use the old rather than the new bus company names?

 

[-Colly405-]

No idea... It is often the legal name vs the brand name I think...

We go upmarket by walking around the corner from Tesco to the Waitrose stop, but probably miss the 1008 bus so await the to board the 1038 Stagecoach East service 5 to Woodside, Church Lane Subway. We arrive at 1046 on Wednesday.

No idea... It is often the legal name vs the brand name I think...

So naming either option is still in accordance with the rules of this quiz. That puts my mind at rest, as I did use "Stagecoach in East Kent" in a posting quite a few postings ago, being guided by what a certain journey planner had to say.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We next board the 1101 Stagecoach East service 5 to Bedford (Bus Station), arriving there at 1117 on Wednesday morning.

 

[Bacon_BMW]

Next we board the 1136 Stagecoach Midlands service 50 to Rushden (Skinners Hill Layby), arriving at 1223 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[-Colly405-]

We leave on the 1239 Stagecoach Midlands service X46 to Weston Favell Centre, Shopping Centre, alighting at 1340 Wednesday

 

[Bacon_BMW]

Next we board the 1348 Stagecoach Midlands service 1 to Goldings (Crestwood Road), arriving at 1354 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1403 Stagecoach Midlands service 1 to Northampton (Lower Mounts) that arrives there at 1429 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Bacon_BMW]

From Abington Square, we take the 1603 Cogenhoe and Whiston Parish Council service VH1 to Wollaston (Priory Road), arriving at 1650 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

[Bacon_BMW]

Next we take the 1740 Stagecoach Midlands service X4 to Kettering (Bus Interchange), arriving at 1811 on Wednesday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1907 Stagecoach Midlands Gold service X4 to Peterborough (Railway Station), arriving there at 2037 on Wednesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Remembering there is an eight minute minimum connection time at the railway station, we enter it and find we have just enough "allowable" time in order to board the 2054 Thameslink service to Ifield that arrives there at 2329 on Wednesday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

We leave the station and board Metrobus service 200 at the station bus stop at 2346, alighting at Gatwick Airport South Terminal at 0002 on Thursday morning

 

[ValleyLines142]

This is like deja vu being back in Ifield and Gatwick!

We head into the railway station and board the 0021 Thameslink service 9T73 to Preston Park, arriving there at 0054 in the early hours of Thursday morning.

 

[Alex365Dash]

We take the 12 minute (0.5 mile) walk to the Loder Road bus stop to watch the 01:06 bus roll straight pass as we cross the road. Giving the minimum connection time, we wait for the 01:56 Brighton & Hove service N5 to Brighton (Old Steine, Stop H), arriving at 02:05 in the early hours of Thursday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

We cross to stop F and board the 0222 journey on Brighton & Hove service N25. We go most of the way around the one-way loop, and alight at Falmer (adj Railway Station) at 0303 on Thursday.

 

[Alex365Dash]

We take a short rest for the night before returning for the 06:10 Brighton & Hove service 23 to Brighton Marina, arriving for 06:38 on Thursday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

We walk the half mile to Marina Gate to board Brighton & Hove service 12 at 0654, alighting at Brighton Station (Stop D) at 0709 on Thursday
