We'll wait for the 1949 GWR service to Westbury arriving at 2005 on Wednesday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide upon a change of TOC and next board the 2016 South Western Railway service to Overton that arrives there at 2120 on Wednesday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

There are no bus services within the statutory half-mile of the station on a Wednesday, so we await 1J78, SWR's 2222 service towards Reading, from which we alight at Basingstoke at 2231 on Wednesday

 

[Andy Pacer]

Next we take the 2146 South Western Railway service to Grateley arriving at 2207 on Wednesday.

 

[-Colly405-]

The last bus left here over 6 hours ago, so we stay on the rails and board 1L80, SWR's 2237 service towards London Waterloo, from whihc we alight at Woking at 2326 on Wednesday.

Edit: Post deleted as previous post deleted, presumably as the timings didn't work

So we are currently at Basingstoke...

There are no bus services within the statutory half-mile of the station on a Wednesday, so we await 1J78, SWR's 2222 service towards Reading, from which we alight at Basingstoke at 2231 on Wednesday

We next board the 2238 GWR service to Mortimer that arrives there at 2250 on Wednesday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

There are no bus services within the statutory half-mile of the station so we await 2J90, GWR's 2312 service towards Reading, from which we alight at Reading West at 2322 on Wednesday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Was going to say, Mortimer didn't have a great deal to offer!

We then exit the station onto Oxford Road, where we board the 2337 Reading Buses Purple Line service to Tilehurst (Water Tower), arriving there at 2348 on Wednesday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

Taking advantage of the overnight tule, we stroll the 0.5 mile to Little Heath (Wellfield Close) and board the 0522 Reading Buses Royal Blue service 33, alighting at Reading (Station Rd, stop SD) at 0546 on Thursday morning.

We walk around the corner to Blagrave Street, outside Reading station, and board the 0600 Reading Buses Claret Line service 21 to University of Reading (The Queens Drive/Whiteknights House), arriving there at 0610 on Thursday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

Let's take 5 minutes to walk the 0.2 miles to the Chancellors Way southbound stop on Shinfield Rd. Wanting Reading Buses the leopard service 3, we let the 0616 short working pass and await the bus due at 0636, which we take as far as Wokingham Hospital, where we arrive at 0720 on Thursday.

[Andy Pacer]

[-Colly405-]

We board White Bus Services route 01 at 1247, alighting Windsor Great Park (Cumberland Lodge) at 1314 on Thursday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

All we can do here without breaking our journey overnight due to the limited services is wait for the 1814 White Bus Service 01 back to Ascot Station, arriving there at 1844 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We enter the station and next board the 1853 South Western Railway service to Farnham that arrives there at 1933 on Thursday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

That train looks to be 1933 arrival, not 1953...?

Let's board 1A59, South Western Railway's 1953 service, from which we alight at Alton at 2007 on Thursday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 2133 South Western Railway service 2F70 to Earlsfield, arriving there at 2208 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Noting that a six minute minimum connection time applies at this station, we next board the 2215 South Western Railway service to Guildford that arrives there at 2313 on Thursday evening.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 2326 GWR service to North Camp arriving at 2342 on Thursday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I enjoy the fact we went from Woking to Guildford, via Earlsfield

[Andy Pacer]

We wait a few hours and then take the 0453 Metrobus service 400 to East Grinstead, Stone Quarry Estate arriving there at 0524 on Friday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

Not wanting to head back to Crawley or beyond, we await the 0714 journey on Metrobus service 281, and alight at Crawley Down (opp. Royal Oak) at 0748 on Friday morning.

I would never have guessed that Crawley Down is 5 miles away from central Crawley, across open countryside...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 0824 Metrobus service 281 to Copthorne (the bus stop adjacent to Brookview on Brookhill Road) that arrives there at 0836 on Friday morning.
