We cross to Bitterne Manor Cobbett Road (the eastbound equivalent stop) and board the Xelabus X10 service at 15:24, which takes us to Bishops Waltham, The Square, where we arrive at 15:53 on Monday afternoon.
Just a quick note to remember to leave 5 minutes for connections in the future (this move only left 4 mins). As the game has continued though there's no point in going back so continue as normal from here :smile:

We walk to Stop H to catch London Bus 205 which runs every 10-12 minutes at this time of day, so let's assume a 12 minute wait (plus 5 minutes for the connection) - in which case we board at 21:29 on our journey to Shoreditch High Street Station, where we alight at approximately 22:11.
There is a 15 minute minimum connection at Paddington. It is possible to find bus timetables for specific routes. The 205 is here:
http://www.londonbusroutes.net/times/205N205.htm

Thus, the actual departure time is 21:30 (21:25 from Cleveland Terrace), and the arrival is 22:12 on a Monday.

Thanks for the information - and I hadn't appreciated that the minimum connection time applied to train to bus transfers as well. Appropriate adjustment made to post #22928.

We then exit the station and board the 1306 Stagecoach London service 145 to Leytonstone Station, arriving there at 1402 on Tuesday afternoon.
