We leave the railway station and walk to the adjacent bus/coach stop where we next board the 0746 First Kernow service U2 to Falmouth (The Moor) that arrives there at 0832 on Saturday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We take the two minute walk to Argos on Berkeley Vale, where we board the 0905 Megabus service M6 to Bristol (Cabot Circus/Stop S4), arriving there at 1545 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[DerekC]

We have time for a quick cup of tea before boarding the 16:10 First Bristol service 376 which takes us to Glastonbury Town Hall where we arrive at 17:38 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1751 First Bristol Mendip Explorer service 376 to Farrington Gurney (Ham Lane/Bristol Road) that arrives there at 1831 on Saturday evening.

 

[DerekC]

Having failed to make the 18:33 service, we sneak into the Farrington Inn for a quick pint before returning for the 19:27 First Bristol service 172 to Radstock Victoria Hall where we arrive at 19:52 on Saturday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2005 First Bristol service 173 to Midsomer Norton (Town Hall) that arrives there at 2014 on Saturday evening.

 

[DerekC]

We only have few minutes to wait for the 20:23 First Bristol service 172 to Bath Bus Station where we arrive at 20:58 on Saturday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2110 First Bristol service D2 to Frome (The Memorial Theatre Complex on Christchurch Road West) that arrives there at 2149 on Saturday evening.

 

[DerekC]

This appearing to be the only bus still running, we walk 150 yards to the Market Place to catch the 22:05 First Bristol D2 service to Norton St Philip, George Inn where we arrive at 22:26 on Saturday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Still time to catch another service, so we next board the 2327 First Bristol service D2 to Rode Hill (Memorial Hall on High Street) that arrives there at 2332 on Saturday evening.

 

[DerekC]

If I am reading the timetables right there are no Sunday buses at all to Rode, even the D2 not including the village on any of its services. My suggestion is, therefore, that we walk half a mile to the Bell Inn, have a day off, and from there catch the 07:32 Fromebus service X69 to Bradford on Avon Town Bridge where we arrive at 07:46 on Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 0811 First Bristol service D1 to Steeple Langford (Bell Inn on Salisbury Road) that arrives there at 0939 on Monday morning.

 

[DerekC]

We don't have much choice but to catch the 10:56 First Bristol service D1 to Codford St Mary Cherry Orchard where we arrive at 11:04 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

There is also limited choice here too, so we wait for the 1304 First West of England Discover service D1 to Bath (Laura Place), arriving there at 1455 on Monday afternoon.

 

[DerekC]

We walk 400 yards across the Pulteney Bridge to Bath Guildhall and board the 15:34 First Bristol service X31 to Chippenham Bus Station where we arrive at 16:42 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1705 Coachstyle service 92 to Malmesbury (High Street) that arrives there at 1758 on Monday afternoon.

 

[DerekC]

There seems to be a curfew on buses leaving Malmesbury after 18:00. There are three (I think) that depart at that time, but sine that infringes the 5-minute rule the only option is to walk 600 yards to the Health Centre in time for the 22:07 National Express service 401 to Bristol Bus Station where we arrive at 22:50 on Monday evening.

Note: if somebody can find a service departing within the 2-hour window after 17:58 I will strike through this entry.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We take the seven minute walk to the bus stop opposite Cabot Circus, where we board the 2310 Bristol Community Transport (on contract to First West of England) MetroBus service m1 to University of the West of England, Frenchay Campus, arriving there at 2323 on Monday evening.

 

[DerekC]

We walk to Stop A1 and board the 23:44 First Bristol service 19 to Kingswood Kings Chase Centre where we arrive at 00:04 on Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0012 First West of England service 42 to Lawrence Hill (Croydon Street), arriving there at 0025 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Esker-pades]

We take the 4 minute walk to Lawrence Hill station, take an overnight stop, and board the 06:03 Great Western Railway service to Bristol Parkway, arriving there at 06:19 on a Tuesday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We take the 4 minute walk to Lawrence Hill station, take an overnight stop, and board the 05:49 Great Western Railway service to Bristol Parkway, arriving there at 06:02 on a Tuesday.

This is from the new timetable from Sunday. At present, it's the 0603 from Lawrence Hill which gets into Bristol Parkway for 0616.

We'll still catch a following service that operates after both services anyway, just to give clearance, so we then board the 0651 First West of England South Glos Lynx service Y6 to Southmead Hospital, arriving there at 0719 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Esker-pades]

Sorry. I wasn't quite sure given that there are no more Tuesdays between now and the introduction of the new timetable. My post has been amended.

 

[DerekC]

We then board the 0651 First West of England South Glos Lynx service Y6 to Southmead Hospital, arriving there at 0719 on Tuesday morning.

We board the 07:55 Stagecoach Gloucester service 508 to Westbury on Trym - Westbury Village, where we arrive at 08:23 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 0834 First Bristol service 1 to Cribbs Causeway (Bus Station) that arrives there at 0857 on Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0905 First West of England service 75 to Filton (Gypsy Patch Lane), arriving there at 0918 on Tuesday morning.

 

[DerekC]

We wait for the 09:38 First Bristol service T2 to Thornbury Health Centre where we arrive at 10:15 on Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1037 First West of England South Glos Lynx service T1 to Bradley Stoke (Willow Brook), arriving there at 1100 on Tuesday morning.

 

[DerekC]

We walk the 400 yards to Manor Farm Roundabout and catch the 11:17 First Bristol service 73 which takes us to Stoke Gifford - Bristol Parkway Station where we arrive at 11:34 on Tuesday morning.

 

[A Challenge]

We then get the 11:44 CroosCountry service 1S45 to Montrose, arriving at 20:05 Tuesday evening.
