Emerging from the tube station, we then board the 0000 Metroline service H12 to South Harrow (Bus Station), arriving there at 0035 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Quite rare to see a timetabled public transport service to depart at 0000; usually they depart at 2359 or 0001 to avoid confusion!

The "quiz day of the week" is Thursday morning

The "quiz day of the week" is Thursday morning

Apologies, I even looked at your last post about noting it being Wednesday but I assumed your service arrived after midnight!

We take the two minute walk the to bus stop on Northolt Road (near South Harrow train station) and board the 0040 Metroline service 140 to Harrow Weald (stop WS on Long Elmes) that arrives there at 0109 on Thursday morning.

I couldn't find a bus stop with the code W5. Was it WS instead?

We then board the 0121 London United service N18 to Stonebridge Park station, arriving there at 0148 in the early hours of (what I hope is) Thursday morning.

You can't use Eurostar services for domestic journeys in the UK, so I am unsure as to why it says set down only. The Javelins are for domestic journeys to Ashford.

 

[A Challenge]

Not set down only, its showing as both!

The Eurostars are pick up only at Ebbsfleet and Ashford as shown here (the service in question):

If only I could work out how to take a screenshot from my phone I could show that it is displaying as pick up and set down, even on that link by fishquinn?
