Had that happen a few times before!

[Andy Pacer]

That looks to be the end of service, and we are just too far away from a couple of night buses that run in the area, so we wait a few hours and then take the 0.5 mile 10 minute walk to Nuthall Road and catch the 0528 Nottingham City Transport service 53 to Clifton, Fabis Drive arriving there at 0548 on Friday morning.

[-Colly405-]

Our only option here is to do a bit of sightseeing around the village and then board the next bus, which is the 1458 Roberts Coaches service 125, but this time we take it all the way to Leicester (St Margaret's Bus Station) where we arrive at 1540 on Friday.

[ValleyLines142]
