As the stops are just a few yards apart (the 5/5A at one and 5B at the other), we next join the 0930 Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company service 5A to Patcham Mackie Avenue, arriving exactly one hour later at 1030 on Thursday morning.

Exiting the station, we take a short hop on board the 2313 National Express Coventry* service 9 to Green Lane (Kenpas Highway/Gretna Road), arriving there at 2325 on Thursday evening.

* For those of you who use Traveline for journeys around the West Midlands, please be aware that journeys operated by National Express Coventry are still listed as being operated by Travel Coventry. This is incorrect and it hasn't been called this since operations were branded as National Express Coventry since February 2008.

How is this possible when we arrived at 2325 on the previous service?

I think we may need to take the first 9 of the day the following morning!

There is no way it is not the same bus as the outbound one, so personally I don't care.

See what dzug says.

I misread your departure of 2313 as the arrival time, so post deleted

thought it a bit odd that it should spend 13 minutes there
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
So let's get back on track on the first 9 on Friday morning leaving at 0625 and arriving at Coventry Rail station at 0642
