Taking advantage of the overnight rail travel relaxation ruling, which also obviates the need to adhere to the minimum connection time at this very large station, we then board the 0601 XC service to Plymouth that arrives at 1543 on Saturday afternoon.

My apologies for the arrival time....now updated

 

[ValleyLines142]

The 0601 from Glasgow arrives into Plymouth at 1543. Services are diverted via Gloucester and Newport this weekend which is why they are taking an hour extra, but under the normal working timetable that service would arrive in Plymouth an hour earlier. On that basis, we then board the 1600 Great Western Railway service 1A91 to Reading, arriving there at 1848 on Saturday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hopefully, I am right with this one....

We next board the 1935 Great Western Railway service to Pewsey that arrives at 2009 on Saturday evening.

 

[bnsf734]

There is not much else happening in Pewsey at this time (the last bus has left) so we have a short wait for the 2024 Great Western service to Reading where we arrive at 2058. I have used the train times for Saturday 11 November 2017 for this journey as the Saturday timetable changes weekly at the moment.

 

[A Challenge]

If you go far enough into the future on RTT it displays the WTT as no changes have been added in - so for Pewsey you could go forward to the 13th January! That train departs Pewsey and arrives at Reading 1 minutes later than you've put in, though, so it doesn't matter that much!

Anyway, either way we catch our next service, the 21:12 South West Trains service 2C72 to Wokingham, arriving at 21:25 Saturday evening.

 

[itznonbine]

We Catch the Great Western Railway service at 21:43 all the way to Guildford arriving at 22:18 Saturday Night

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Leaving the railway station, we take the six minute walk to Friary Bus Station and there board the 2235 Arriva Kent & Surrey service 34 to Lightwater (the bus stop opposite the War Memorial on Guildford Road) that arrives there at 2330 on Saturday evening.

 

[A Challenge]

We then get the 09:43 Arriva Kent and Surrey service Max 34 to Knaphill (The Vyne Health Centre), arriving at 09:55 Sunday morning.

 

[bnsf734]

I'm not sure which timetable you are looking at but both the Arriva Max 34 timetable from the Arriva site and onbus.info show the first bus on Sunday from Lightwater to Knaphill (The Vyne Health Centre) as departing at 0943 and arriving at Knaphill at 0955.

Continuing from Knaphill on the Arriva service 91, we depart at 1007 and alight at Woking Railway Station (stop 1) where we arrive at 1027 on Sunday morning.

 

[kevconnor]

Entering the station we decide to take 2A25 South Western Railway service at 1049 as far as Alton where we arrive at 11:31 on Sunday morning.

 

[itznonbine]

We catch the 1315 Stagecoach service all the way to WINCHESTER arriving 1430 at the bus station on the number 64 route Sunday Early Afternoon

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

After a short walk to Winchester station we enjoy a not so short journey on the 1342 XC to Manchester Piccadilly alighting at Stockport 1755 Sunday evening.

 

[kevconnor]

Couple of problem with the last could of moves.

Itznonbine You need to post the time you depart and arrive. A look at the timetable shows a bus at 1315 which arrives at Winchester at 1430, this needs to be made clear in your posts.

TT-ONR-NRN whilst you may not have picked up on the wrong time in the previous post your connection is 0.7 miles away which is greater than the 0.5 miles allowed.

I think this means we should be at Winchester Bus Station at 14:30 on Sunday afternoon.
