The first train out of Newcastle on a Sunday appears to be the 0755 Virgin Trains East Coast service 1Y16, so we take that to its terminus of London Kings Cross, arriving there at 1111 on Sunday morning.

(would just like to point out that typing 1111 on my phone was immensely satisfying!)

Despite the fact that Coalville has quite a generous number of bus services, only the 29A appears to be running at this time of night, so we board the 2110 Arriva Midlands service 29A to Glenfield (County Hall), arriving there at 2152 on Sunday evening.

Not that it particularly matters but more out of curiosity, why did it take four days to get from Beaumont Leys to Leicester yet a mere twenty minutes onto a service to Audley End?

Exiting the station and heading to The Interchange, we then board the 1145 Arriva Herts & Essex service 508 to Sawbridgeworth (White Lion), arriving there at 1159 on Monday morning.

I think you will have to ask that question to Springs Branch as he was the person who made the posting that took the journey from Beaumont Leys to Leicester
