Fancying some sleep, we opt for the 22:52 Transport for Wales service 1D19 to Holyhead, arriving at 02:15 Saturday morning (when we’re rudely awaken by an equally sleepy guard!).

There aren't any more services until the following morning now (which by this point is only two hours later), so we board the 0425 Transport for Wales service 1V91 to Pontyclun, taking advantage of the fact the first service runs through to Maesteg, arriving there at 0929 on Saturday morning.

Struggling to find a White Horse on Coychurch Road, but there is a nearby one near the junction of Main Road and Heol-Y-Capel.

Assuming this is the right place, we take the 1029 NAT Buses service 404 to Bridgend, Bus Station arriving there at 1043 on Saturday.
