We walk the short distance to Queen Mother Square and board the next "Jurassic Coaster" - FirstBus Service X53 - which departs at 18:31 and takes us to Bridport Coach Station where we arrive at 19:05 on Saturday evening.

I've had a look at the timetable and there doesn't appear to be any later services on a Saturday or early services on a Sunday, so I think our only next available option is the 1030 National Express service 315 to Branksome Station, arriving there at 1225 on Sunday afternoon.

We then board the 12:40 South Western Railway service to Brockenhurst, arriving there at 13:08 on a Sunday.

 

[DerekC]

We then board the 13:29 South Western Railway service to Lymington Pier, arriving at 13:39 on Sunday afternoon.

Just to complete stopping all three stations on the Lymington branch, we then board the 1344 South Western Railway service 1J32 to Lymington Town, arriving there at 1346 on Sunday afternoon.

Bro can you help with the routes? Because next week I am going to visit London.

Welcome to the forum.

There's a section called "Trip Planning & Reports" which would be a much more suitable place to ask for advice about travel around London. If you create a thread asking for advice, there will be lots of users ready to help. Here's a link: https://www.railforums.co.uk/forums/trip-planning-reports.24/ .

Hi George - welcome to the forum - I suggest you post your itinerary in the "Fares Advice and Policy" area and I am sure we will be able to help.

Update - go with @FelixtheCat - he has been doing it longer than me!

We decide that after all we would like to go to the Isle of Wight, so we walk back to Lymington Pier and board the 15:15 Wightlink ferry, arriving at Yarmouth Quay at approximately 15:55 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Esker-pades]

Only 1 bus route in operation on a Sunday. We walk 3 minutes to Yarmouth Bus Station to board the 14:25 Southern Vectis route 7 service to Upper Watchingwell Bridleway, arriving there at 14:38 on a Sunday.

Lymington Town to Lymington Pier is almost a mile away, so unfortunately that would prevent us from going to the Isle of Wight.

This is where we had just come from on my previous post though? Sorry to delay the game, but I was under the impression we avoided returning where we had just come from.

I'd quite like to go to the Isle of Wight.

I can strike that move out as well if you want.

In general please do avoid returning to where you've just come from but in this case we'll allow it. Please continue from here:

We take the short two minute walk to the bus station and board the 1520 Southern Vectis service 7 to Totland (War Memorial on The Broadway) that arrives there at 1540 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[DerekC]

We have time for a cup of tea before catching the 16:50 Southern Vectis service 12 which takes us to Brighstone (Three Bishops) where we alight at 17:27 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1801 Southern Vectis service 12 to Alum Bay (Needles Landmark Attraction) that arrives there at 1836 on Sunday evening.

 

[DerekC]

Hmm - unfortunately we have missed the last bus out from this location - the service 12 we just alighted from must run ECS to depot. And it's nearly two miles walk to the nearest B&B! Luckily we packed our lightweight tent so after a chilly night on the cliff we catch the first Southern Vectis service 7 at 06:40, which takes us to Calbourne, Sun Inn, where we alight at 07:19 on Monday morning in search of breakfast.

To be fair, it's not that I was against going or not what I wanted per se, but I was just checking on the guidelines.
