We then walk to Stop P and board the Stagecoach London service 380 departing at 2241 which we take to its terminus of Thamesmead West, Belmarsh Prison (bus stop G) where we arrive at 2310 on Saturday night.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 2321 London General service 244 to Woolwich Arsenal (Station), arriving there at 2332 on Saturday evening.

 

[AndrewR232]

A ride on the DLR now - we board the 2347 DLR service to Stratford High Street, arriving 0006 on Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then exit the station and board the 0018 Tower Transit service 25 to Whitechapel (Station), arriving there at 0037 in the early hours of Sunday morning.

 

[AndrewR232]

Entering Whitechapel station, we spend a few uncomfortable hours in our sleeping bag then board the 0724 London Overground service where we finally get some sleep before arriving at Clapham High Street at 0749 on Sunday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board a stopping service as we take the 0802 LO service to Highbury & Islington that arrives there at 0846 on Sunday morning.

 

[bnsf734]

Continuing our circumnavigation of London we then take the 0851 London Overground service to Crystal Palace where we arrive at 0932 on Sunday morning.

 

[DasLunatic]

After a wet twenty-minute wait, we shuffle towards our next train, the 0952 departure towards Epsom Downs. However, we are forced off the train at Waddon, due to a fire at Carshalton Beeches. The time is now 1007 on this dreary Sunday morning.

We then leave the trains behind, and hop onto the Number 358 Metrobus (for TfL) service at 09:45. We stay with it the whole way, arriving at Orpington Station at 10:46 on Sunday morning.

Being beaten again, I reconsider my plan and we have a short walk to the bus station. We just miss a 289 TfL (operated by Arriva) bus, but wait around for the next one twenty minutes later at 10:32 and stay with it until its terminus at Elmer's End Interchange, arriving at 11:16 on Sunday Morning.

 

[DasLunatic]

Now queasy after going over almost every pothole on the way, we alight from our bus and board a tram - more specifically, the 1125 Tramlink Line 1 service to the westernmost point of the loop - Church Street. We arrive at 1141 on Sunday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Looking at a place to go which offers a number of onward connection types, we make sure that we have our Tramlink map handy, as we board the 1152 Tramlink service to Wimbledon tramlink stop that arrives there at 1215 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We enter the mainline station and take the 1222 SW Trains service to Basingstoke, arriving at 1321 Sunday afternoon

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board 1B35, the 1348 South West Trains service to Bournemouth, arriving there at 1433 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1440 XC service to Banbury that arrives there at 1654 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Staying with the same operator and continuing northwards, we then board 1E60, the 1731 CrossCountry service to York, arriving there at 2038 on Sunday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Taking heed of the minimum connection time that applies here, we next board the 2050 Northern service to Rotherham Central that arrives at 2152 on Sunday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then exit the station and board the 2228 First in South Yorkshire service X78 to Doncaster (Frenchgate Interchange), arriving there at 2307 on Sunday evening.

 

[bnsf734]

We are limited for service at this time of Sunday night, but there is a Stagecoach Yorkshire service 221 departing at 2320 which we catch to its teminus point of Rotherham, Rawmarsh, East Avenue arriving there at 0022 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

The 221 isn't a once daily service; it operates all day on Sunday (in fact the first bus is at 0601 on a Sunday, which is pretty impressive!)

We then call it a night before crossing the road to the Quarry Street bus stop, where we board the 0538 First in South Yorkshire service 22 to Barnsley (Interchange), arriving there at 0626 on Monday morning.

 

[me123]

Just in time to catch the 06:38 Northern Trains 1Y05 service to Nottingham, which we take as far as Alfreton, arriving at 07:31 on Monday Morning.

 

[bnsf734]

I suspect the 221 service I saw on Onbus.info was the only short working to the Bus Garage at Rawmarsh. I agree the full 221 service normally links Doncaster and Rotherham.

Continuing our journey we then take the 0748 East Midlands Trains service and alight at Leicester where we arrive at 0859 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then exit the station and board the 0912 First Leicester service 22 to Evington (Downing Drive), arriving there at 0933 on Monday morning.

 

[bnsf734]

As it is Monday we can walk 0.2km from the bus stop to Welland Vale Road, adjacent to Alcester Avenue to catch the twice weekly 1030 Beaverbus service BT1 to Hamilton, Tesco on Maidenwell Avenue where we arrive at 1100 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1115 Arriva Midlands service 58A to Humberstone (Mereworth Close), arriving there at 1129 on Monday morning.

 

[bnsf734]

We then board an Arriva Midlands service 58 departing at 1137 and alight at Leicester, Humberstone Gate, stop DA, arriving there at 1151 on Monday morning.

 

[me123]

Then, after finding a quick bite of lunch on the go, we hop onto the 747 Centrebus service at 12:26 which, despite our expectations, goes nowhere near an airport for its entire route. We stay with it all the way to its terminus at Uppingham North Street, arriving at 13:21 on Monday Afternoon.

 

[bnsf734]

We find the 1325 Centrebus Midlands Rutland Flyer RF1 service waiting for us and catch it into the Welland Valley where we alight at Lyddington, Stoke Road arriving there at 1331 on Monday afternoon, just in time to call into the Old White Hart for refreshment.

Isn't there a minimum connection time of five minutes per move, unless otherwise stated?

 

[DasLunatic]

Isn't there a minimum connection time of five minutes per move, unless otherwise stated?

There is - unless you're connecting to a bus at the same stop/ train at the same platform, the connection time is 5 minutes unless stated elsewhere.

 

[ValleyLines142]

There is - unless you're connecting to a bus at the same stop/ train at the same platform, the connection time is 5 minutes unless stated elsewhere.

Would a four minute connection time be acceptable in this situation then?
