This is where we had come from before Woolston on my previous journey. Was this intentional?

Indeed it was, as it was a different journey from the one that preceded it.

Get another Bluestar 7, this time at 13:32, arriving at Southampton (Central Station South Side) at 13:57, still on Friday asking, "Is it still?"

I've just noticed that having looked on Google Maps, all of the street names in this settlement are all named after villages in Cornwall! I quite like that!

We appear to be stranded for the rest of the night now, so we call it a day before boarding the 0641 High Peak service 19 to Prestbury (Railway Station), arriving there at 0649 on Saturday morning.

Glad of the opportunity to be within two miles of the Sidorczuk residence, but noting the need to move ever onwards...

We next take the 1515 Arriva Trains Wales service to Fishguard Harbour, arriving at 1846 on Saturday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Unsurprisingly, Fishguard has nothing to offer other than ferry services, but as we're not allowed to board them as we must not leave the mainland, we have no option other than to return on the 1900 Arriva Trains Wales service 2E33 to Clarbeston Road, arriving there at 1921 on Saturday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

This being a request stop, we give a clear signal to the driver of the approaching train and then board the 1931 ATW service to Hereford that arrives at 2303 on Saturday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I had a look at some of them - but assuming it was all (maybe except a couple) didn't look at that one!

Are we OK, or have we got stuck?

If we can find our way back to Cardiff Central, trains start with a 0734 departure on a Sunday I think, on which we could head towards Ebbw Vale...

Some of us seemed stymied by that newly-announced timetable, unfortunately.
