I'm assuming it's no longer morning, because 12:42 in the morning gives us very few options from here!

Seems the 10 is the only bus service here, so rather than stepping back on we decide to walk the 0.4 miles to the bus stop called "Borrington Road" (which is actually on Comberton Road, of course). The walk takes us eight minutes.

We are just in time for the 12:55 Diamond Bus service 42, which heads towards Redditch. We take the bus as far as Bromsgrove Railway Station, arriving at 13:30 on Friday afternoon.

We're in an area with very few transport options so the only choice is to wait for the next Arriva Midlands 115 Service at 1748 as far as Tamworth Town Centre, adj Victoria Road Bus Interchange where we arrive at 18:28 on Friday evening.

We can't travel internationally on the game. Also the walk between two stops must be up to 0.5 miles.

In the hope of conforming with the latest rules update, I make the following somewhat tentative posting as the journey commences within the first midnight hour.....

We next board the 0048 London Central service N89 to Erith (Bexley Road/Cross Street) that arrives there at 0142 on Saturday morning.

The rule is you may so you can if you want but you don't have too.

We then get the 05:20 Southeastern service 2B07 to Maze Hill, arriving at 05:32 Saturday morning.

All the RTT schedules are STP running non-stop to Cannon Street through London Bridge. I am assuming the rest is the same.
