Rules
  • You may walk up to about half a mile when changing modes to a stop in the vicinity, if you wish.
Whilst it would have been a welcomed way of getting away from the Lothian network, unfortunately walks are only permitted up to half a mile in distance.

Well, this stop is quite isolated and served only by the 27, but we can *just* walk to the Clubhouse stop of the 29 (but not the other stops at Silverknowes across the roundabout at they are 0.6 miles away!!!) where we await the morning services. So, from the Clubhouse we take the 0515 Lothian Buses service 29, alighting in Edinburgh at 0537 on Friday morning on Princes St, stop PH by the Scott Monument.

We saunter to the bus stops immediately outside the station and await the 1354 service 500, operated by Arriva Herts & Essex. We then alight from this at Kings Langley, nr Home Park Industrial Estate, at 1422 on Friday.

Edited to remove the evidence of my stupidity :)

Two queries: 1419 arriving at 1736?!

Also, the 501 only appears to run on a Sunday? Today is a Bank Holiday, so if you're using today as a planner it'll show Sunday services?

I can, however, see a 500 service departing Hemel Hempstead at 1354 and arriving at Home Park Ind Est at 1422?
