This is the only bus serving this area, which also does not appear to run very frequently. Luckily the return working is in about half an hour's time, and so we board the 1504 Anglian Bus service 60H to Brampton (Railway Station), arriving there at 1510 on Thursday afternoon.

Once again we are stuck in a settlement that has no further connections, so we call it a night before boarding the 0807 First in Norfolk & Suffolk service 77A to Ipswich (Old Cattle Market Bus Station), arriving there at 0830 on Friday evening.

I trust that you have been following the "Black Friday" thread on this website, where the "Friday" section seems to extend to 72 hours in certain "Temples of Mammon" rather than the normal 24 hours. Your posting above shows that this time warp discrepancy has not avoided your attention and to keep fully in the spirit of that extended time period, you state an arrival time of 0830 on a Friday evening....:D

Well, I have found a different service which runs on a Thursday (still requiring a six day wait) that is run by the same bus company......


We next board the 1358 De Vere Travel service 323 to Greenstead Green (The Fox and Hounds PH) that arrives there on Thursday afternoon. (see note above).

To get back to civilisation we now have another overnight wait for the DeVere travel 329 at 1115, to Halstead High Street, where we arrive at 1123 Friday morning

This company seems to have a few more similar services
