A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
As there is only four minutes time before the next bus is due, we wait until the next available service in accordance with the rules arrives, which is the 2144 Reading Buses the leopard service 3 to Reading (the bus stop adjacent to Thames Tower on Station Road) that arrives there at 2214 on Friday evening.
