We are struggling a bit for anything other than route 4, so we take the 2003 departure as far as the bus stop adjacent to Rugby, Elliott's Field Retail Park arriving at 2025 on Wednesday

 

[ValleyLines142]

Still struggling to get away from the 4 (as all other buses in the area have dwindled down already), we think it best to head to the town centre as we next board the 2038 Stagecoach Warwickshire service 4 to Rugby (Abbey Street), arriving there at 2044 on Wednesday evening where I'm hoping we can use another service from here!

 

[Andy Pacer]

From here we can take the 2126 Stagecoach Midlands service D1 to Crick, Dockham Way arriving at 2155 on Wednesday.
