With no onward connections whatsoever, We wait the two and a half hours before boarding the 1837 Eurotaxis service 672 alighting at Blagdon (Seymour Arms) at 1849 on Thursday evening.


(There are no onward connections until the morning from Blagdon, and we couldn't have doubled back on ourselves at West Harptree as there were no more services on any route for the rest of the evening, So I had no other option but to take this move)

Next we take the 1300 Mendip Community Transport service 67, alighting at Wookey Hole, Car Park (which BusTimes seems to think is in Lower Milton, not Wookey Hole!) at 1311 on Friday.

To be fair you probably could have made the 13:55 as its the same bus forming that service.

Anyway, we next board the 1621 First West of England Mendip Explorer service 126 to Weston-super-Mare (Marine Parade), arriving there at 1714 on Friday afternoon.

We walk the 6 minutes to the Chapel Rd stop and, surprising the driver by re-boarding the bus we left at Raglands, we just catch the 2246 Stagecoach South West service A. We alight at Exeter (Sidwell St, stop 21) at 2259 on Saturday.

Avoiding the need to just ride back and forth the city centre on Exeter's limited night services, we next take the three minute walk to stop 31 on Sidwell Street, and there board the 0200 National Express service 406 to Earls Court (West Cromwell Road/Tesco), arriving there at 0640 on Sunday morning.
