Slight mistake in the previous post methinks... No First in Warwickshire - I think Paul meant Stagecoach in Warwickshire, anyway we then wait for the final service of the day, the return 1849 Stagecoach in Warwickshire service 66 and alight at the terminus, Leamington Spa Parade (Stand E) where we arrive at 1945 on Monday evening. Getting nearer to my home town of Nuneaton, also in Warwickshire!

After having made quite a few journeys with Stagecoach, we then board a service operated by a different company in the form of the 1953 National Express Coventry service 11 (which uses lovely new Enviro 400s) to Earlsdon (Hearsall Common), arriving there at 2032 on Monday evening.

As time is drawing on, we need to travel to somewhere which hopefully will offer onward services, so we board the 2047 Travel Coventry service 12 to Coventry (Pool Meadow bus station) that arrives there at 2104 on Monday evening.

Travel Coventry hasn't existed since February 2008?

We then board the 2124 National Express Coventry service 5 to Whitmore Park (Langlodge Road), arriving there at 2148 on Monday evening.
