To avoid taking the sleeper to London, we instead take the ten minute walk to the coach station, where we board the 2300 Stagecoach South West Falcon service to Bristol Airport, arriving there at 0143 in the early hours of Monday morning.

 

[Rich McLean]

We have a little time to wait and grab a coffee, before boarding the First West of England Service A2 to Bristol City Centre Lewins Mead (Stop B1), arriving at 0302 on Monday Morning

 

[DerekC]

We wait for the 04:52 First Bristol, Bath & West service Y1 to Chipping Sodbury (Wickwar Road) where we arrive at 05:35 on Monday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Attempting to use another bus service than the Y1 that we arrived on yet again, we take the two minute walk to The Clock and there board the 0623 Stagecoach West service 620 to Lansdown (Sion Road) that arrives there at 0714 on Monday morning.

Not quite understanding the yet again reference? We've used the Y1 once? Apologies in advance if I've confused myself somewhere

We next board the 0720 First West of England service 31 to Bath (Milsom Street), arriving there at 0724 on Monday morning (which my housemate may well be driving this morning as he left the house quite early!)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Anticipating the pleasure of a nice long bus ride, we next take the five minute walk to the Guildhall, where we board the 0736 First West of England service D1 to Steeple Langford (Bell Inn on Castle Street) that arrives there at 0939 on Monday morning.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We seem to have a while to wait until the 1141 First Bristol, Bath & The West service D1 to Salisbury, Canadian Avenue arriving at 1202 on Monday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We are just too far from the railway station so we board the 1239 First West of England Discover service D1 to Trowbridge (Newland Place), arriving there at 1400 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1412 From Bus service 67 to North Bradley (Ash Drive on Southwick Road) that arrives there at 1417 on Monday afternoon.

 

[DerekC]

We walk 500 yards to the Rising Sun and there board the 14:40 First Bristol, Bath & West service D1* to Wilton (Fugglestone Roundabout) where we arrive at 15:54 on Monday afternoon.

Sorry it's the D1 again, but it was either that or the 67 again back to Trowbridge.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We next board the 1617 Salisbury Reds service 2 to Devizes (Market Place), arriving there at 1727 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1735 Salisbury Reds service 102 to Upavon (Avon Square on Andover Road) that arrives there at 1808 on Monday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Well we're in a bit of a poor situation here because that was the last bus towards Pewsey, there is a service back to Devizes but then that's where we've just come from.

On the sole basis that the next bus towards Pewsey isn't until 10.10 the following morning, we have no choice other than to return on the 1815 Salisbury Reds service 102 back to Devizes (Cinema & Bingo), arriving there at 1848 on Monday evening where hopefully we can actually go somewhere with better connections!

Now why does the sentiments expressed above remind me of what was said in posting # 25168 not so very long ago....

Still being interested in setting journeys that make contributors think a little more deeply, we take the one minute walk to The Pelican and there board the 1905 First West of England service D3 to Atworth (Post Office Lane) that arrives there at 1941 on Monday evening,

 

[DerekC]

Well, I have thought very deeply and the only option I can see (without backtracking) is to catch the next First West of England service D3 at 20:41 which will take us to Batheaston (Stambridge) where we arrive at 20:54 on Monday evening.

 

[A Challenge]

We walk the 11 minutes (0.5 miles) to Westwoods and get the 2110 Faresaver service X31 to Box (Cemetery), arriving 2117 Monday evening.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 2139 First Bristol, Bath & The West service D3 to Atworth, Post Office Lane arriving there at 2156 on Monday.

Reposted below in response to unrest.

We were at that very stop a couple of postings ago.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We were at that very stop a couple of postings ago.

Whilst I don't see an issue with returning somewhere (we haven't gone straight back there after all) I shall change the move to keep the variety there.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 2139 First Bristol, Bath & The West service D3 to Bowerhill, Kingfisher Drive arriving there at 2226 on Monday.

 

[Alex365Dash]

Next bus isn't until tomorrow morning (yes, there's a D3 at 00:16, but at that point we may as well go to sleep), so back in the morning for the 5 minute walk to Barnes Wallis Close, to board the 06:55 Faresaver service X72 to Bath (Bus Station), arriving there for 07:35 on Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

You tell me!

From Dorchester Street, outside the bus station, we board the 0741 First West of England Unibus service U1 to University of Bath (Arrivals Square), arriving there at 0758 on Tuesday morning.

 

[DerekC]

We walk 400 yards to The Avenue and wait for the 08:31 First Bristol, bath & West service 20 to Twerton (Wedgwood Road) where we arrive at 09:29 on Tuesday morning

 

[Alex365Dash]

We wait outside for the 09:37 First Bristol, Bath & the West service 5 to Bath (St James's Parade), arriving there for 10:00 on Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We walk around the corner to the Westgate Buildings, where we board the 1024 First West of England service 3A to Weston (Haviland Park), arriving there at 1042 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1057 First West of England service 3A to Bailbrook (Bailbrook Lane) that arrives there at 1139 on Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Having confirmed during previous identical correspondence in post #22268 that we are actually in Batheaston, we then board the 1146 Faresaver service X31 to Box (The Bassetts), arriving there at 1157 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We're back at Box!

We take the 1217 Faresaver service X31 to Chippenham, Railway Station Approach arriving there at 1258 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Apologies! I did not realise

We next board the 1312 Stagecoach West Gold service 55 to Swindon (Great Western Outlet Village), arriving there at 1425 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Andy Pacer]

No probs, we didn't go straight back there, and I only noticed as it has an unusual name!

Next up is the 1437 Stagecoach West 'Gold' 55 service to Royal Wootton Bassett, High Street arriving at 1458 on Tuesday.
