Accepting that we've been in Gloucester for a while on and off, so it would be good to get away, and using the "no more than 2 hours..." ruling, we can still walk for 4 mins (0.2 mile) to the Friar Tuck bus stop on Bristol Road but wait for the 0947 Stagecoach West service 64 to Ebley, Frome Gardens arriving there at 1021 on Sunday.

Tried to get us near to the railway station!

We will wait a while to try and go somewhere we haven't been for a while, and avoid options of London, Reading or South Wales, and take the 1325 Great Western Railway service to Worle arriving at 1426 on Sunday

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
The sentry on duty looks in askance at us and we have an uncomfortable time answering some searching questions until we clear off and find somewhere to wait until the next bus is due, which is the 0558 Stagecoach South West service 21 to Westward Ho! (Swanswood Gardens) that arrives there at 0703 on Monday morning.

Just in case you are wondering why Little Dock Lane is nowhere near a Dock, 'Dock' was the old name for Devonport, and this was a lane that eventually ended up there in the days of the Three Towns (Sutton, Devonport and Stonehouse) that ultimately made up Plymouth.

Services are starting to dwindle down now, and we already have a wait now as the service in the other direction hasn't long just left so we aim to head somewhere where plenty of onward connections are available as we board the 2334 Stagecoach South West Gold service 57 to Topsham (Railway Station), arriving there at 2345 on Monday evening.
