Can't find that bus stop on Google Maps or First Cornwall so I'm going to take a risk and just go from the Blue Anchor as we board the 2303 First Cornwall service 37 to Lizard (The Green), arriving there at 2351 on Monday evening.

We enter the train station and waving goodbye to the fine people of Cornwall board 1A94 1641 Great Western Railway service towards London Paddington however we are not bound for the bright lights of the big city and decide to stay in the Sunny South West alighting at Plymouth Railway Station at 1759 on Tuesday evening.

we manage to get outside the train station just to see the last bus of the night driving off into the distance so we double back on ourselves back into the station and board 2P94 GWR service at 1924 alighting at Devonport Railway Station at 1954 on Tuesday evening.

The next service to Plymouth isn't until 2114, so we instead decide to travel there by bus as we exit the station and head to the bus stop by Victoria Place, where we board the 2045 Plymouth Citybus service 32 to Plymouth (Railway Station), arriving there at 2053 on Tuesday evening.

I think that's enough of Devon and Cornwall now, so let's board the 2309 Great Western Railway service 1A40 to London Paddington, arriving there at 0519 on Wednesday morning.

Remembering the minimum connection time that applies at this large station, we board the 0545 GWR service to Moreton-in-Marsh that arrives at 0715 on Wednesday morning.

Just as a head's up that service arrives at 0725 not 0715 but it doesn't make a difference to our next move.

We take Pulhams 801 service from the station forecourt at 0810 and travel to Northleach Market Place, arriving at 0850 Wednesday morning

We then board the 1000 Swanbrook Coaches service 853 to Cheltenham (Royal Wells Bus Station), arriving there at 1030 on Wednesday morning.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
I appear to have traced another example of my local village name, but this one is many miles away...
