(I find typing double-barrelled names so satisfying; Lee-on-the-Solent, Wells-next-the-Sea, Ascott-under-Wychwood, don't know why! Also love branded routes; Solent Ranger, Calder Connect, Cymru Clipper. Simple pleasures eh!?)

From the nearby railway station we take the 1923 Great Western Railway service to Severn Tunnel Junction arriving there at 2218 on Thursday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I was adamant somebody was going to take us on the 1900 Wightlink ferry to Fishbourne, but check-in closes fifteen minutes before departure.

Well Severn Tunnel Junction is the absolute worst place to be stuck as there is nothing in the vicinity, so instead we'll have to wait almost an hour for the 2315 Transport for Wales service 2G63 to Cardiff Central, arriving there at 2347 on Thursday evening.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We will lay our head for a few hours and return for the 0615 Transport for Wales service to Penrhiwceiber arriving at 0655 on Friday morning.

Friends, apologies but we appear to have stepped back in time? We arrived at Whitchurch at 1327. Can you both re-time your moves please (should still be valid, but need to be re-jigged!).

Apologies, not sure where I got 11.37 from. I've altered mine, we are now at Abergavenny at 17.59 on Friday

 

[ValleyLines142]

Fab.

We take the five minute walk to the bus stop on Station Road and board the 1816 Stagecoach South Wales TrawsCymru service X43 to Brecon (Interchange), arriving there at 1905 on Friday evening.

 

[Andy Pacer]

Onward connections here appear non existent, so I will say we stay overnight until Saturday morning and catch the 0852 Stagecoach South Wales service T4 to Crossway, Sunny Haven Park arriving there at 0940 on Saturday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I'm surprised there were no further movements out of Brecon; I know it's in the middle of nowhere but it does have a population of 8,000. Even for COVID-19 timetables, this seems a very early finish. Anyway, I'm very reluctant at the moment to remain in the Brecon Beacons during an emergency timetable situ, and where we are at the moment has even more of a reduced timetable, so we'll board the 1014 Stagecoach South Wales TrawsCymru service T4 to Cardiff (Law Courts), arriving there at 1300 on Saturday afternoon. The Valleys aren't the greatest at the best of times, let alone during this pandemic!

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 9 minute, 0.5 mile walk to Cathays station and board the 1318 Transport for Wales service to Cwmbach arriving at 1409 on Saturday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Sadly we are too far from all bus stops so we shall have to wait for the 1425 Transport for Wales service 2Y59 to Barry Island, arriving there at 1554 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 1626 Transport for Wales service to Troed-y-Rhiw arriving at 1750 on Saturday.
