We take 8 minutes to walk the 0.4 mile to the shopping centre known as Birmingham New Street station, from where we board 1V56, Cross Country's 1412 service, from which we alight at Totnes at 1718 on Friday.
We exit the station and take the seven minute walk to King Edward VI School, where we board the 1744 Stagecoach South West Gold service to Paignton (Bus Station), arriving there at 1816 on Friday evening.
From the bus stop outside the station on Pinhoe Road, we wait for the 0036 Stagecoach South West service I to Countess Weir (Shops), arriving there at 0056 in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Rather than batting to and fro on the I and J all night, we take advantage of the overngiht rule and walk to Countess Weir Roundabout where we board the 0611 Stagecoach South West service 57. We alight at Exmouth (Greggs) at 0628 on Saturday.
Don't really know where to go here other than to places we've been to already, so we take the four minute walk to the railway station and board the 0655 Great Western Railway service 2T07 to Torquay, arriving there at 0823 on Saturday morning.
In good time for one of the few trains each day that is not part of the Devon Metro, we await 1A77, GWR's 0901 service towards London, which we take to Pewsey, arriving at 1106 on Saturday.
We take the eleven minute/0.5 mile walk to Blue Boar Row and board the 1545 morebus service X3 to Bournemouth (Westover Road), arriving there at 1708 on Saturday afternoon.
That's actually thwarted us for the night now as there are no other buses, so in the morning we return for the 0928 morebus service X1 to Christchurch (Town Centre), arriving there at 1024 on Sunday morning.
We take advantage of the overnight rule and return in the morning for 2L43, Transport for Wales's 0609 service towards Maesteg, from which we alight at Sarn at 0736 on Monday.
Next, we walk(5 mins|0.3 miles) to Sarn,Post Office where we wait for the 0813 First South & West Wales 74 to Blackmill,Post Office where we arrive at 0823 on Monday morning.
We take 7 minutes to walk the 0.3 miles to the Isfryn Industrial Estate stop to await Stagecoach South Wales service 172 at 0913, which appears not to stop at the Post Office! We alight at Tonypandy (Bus Station) at 0947 on Monday.
