Well we are just too far to walk up to Newport Road and get the 5, so all we can do here is take the six minute walk to the bus stop at the end of Stevenson Drive and board the 1246 Select Bus Services service 9 to Stafford (Guildhall Shopping Centre), arriving there at 1258 on Wednesday afternoon.

Again, due to the nature of this bus service and the fact that that was the last departure of the day (what use is that to anyone?!), we return on the 1429 Chaserider service 841 to Stafford, County Hospital, arriving there at 1500 on Wednesday.
