Sadly we appear to have just missed the last buses of the day on all city routes (most services having finished at around 2340) so we have no option other than to let a few hours pass before we head to Central station, where we board the 0428 Virgin Trains service 1R20 to London Euston, arriving into the heart of the capital at 0907 on Monday morning.
