Where we then wait until 0912, and take the next Southern Service to East Croydon from platform 2. (2O29 0912 Milton Keynes Central to East Croydon ), arriving at East Croydon at 10:48 on P5.

(notes - took the first Southern service on purpose to be different :) )

How did we end up going from Elstree to St Albans via St Helier? :lol: think it only takes about ten minutes to get between the two!

Well buses around St Albans in the evening aren't the best during COVID-19, so we'll have to wait for the 2201 Thameslink service 9T69 to Brighton, arriving there at 2347 on Wednesday evening.

Although according to Real Time Trains it is the same train (2347, 2354 departure), but can't always play it by ear!
I agree. I'm against making assumptions of vehicle allocation whether it be buses or trains as there is no reason why a vehicle change wouldn't take place (although probably not at that time of night!)

Very true.

We take the 0543 Southern service to Haywards Heath arriving at 0611 on Thursday morning.

I won't be that person that takes us to London or Bedford. Instead, we exit the station to the bus stop on Perrymount Road and board the 0616 Metrobus service 271 to Royal Sussex County Hospital (on Eastern Road), arriving there at 0715 on Thursday morning.

Fortunately we have no reason to visit the hospital, so we grab some breakfast whilst we wait for the 08:09 The Big Lemon service 47 to Saltdean, Longridge Avenue Coop, arriving at 08:22 Thursday morning.

We next board the 0828 Brighton and Hove service 27 to Seven Dials (Dyke Road/BHASVIC*), arriving there at 0851 on Thursday morning.

*BHASVIC is the abbreviation for Brighton, Hove & Sussex Sixth Form College.

I'm struggling a bit for inspiration here so we walk the 0.3 miles to Seven Dials itself where we board the 09:11 Brighton & Hover service 7 to Hove, George Street, arriving at 09:19 Thursday morning.

That has to win a contest for most bizarre abbreviaton, took me some time to work out how they'd got to it :lol:
