We then head into the station and board the 1317 Thameslink service "9P35" towards Rainham, Alighting at Slade Green, 1452 on Monday afternoon.
Assuming you mean the 1408 departure from City Thameslink and not 1317 as we didn't arrive until 1349.

We exit Slade Green station and board the 1501 Arriva London service 99 to Barnehurst (Mayplace Road East/Pinnacle Hill), arriving there at 1518 on Monday afternoon.

I'm quite surprised to find out that there are no bus stops within half a mile of here, so our only option is to remain on the rails. We therefore await 2V74, the 2230 Great Northern service from which we alight at Hadfield at 2247 on Monday.

As I'm fairly sure you meant Hatfield (Herts) and not "Hadfield" near Manchester as no trains operate between Oakleigh Park and there, We'll continue from Hatfield

Walking outside to the bus stops, We then board the 2300 Arriva Herts & Essex service 301 alighting at Welwyn Garden City (Bus Station) at 2315 on Monday night.

I even made a point of making sure I typed Hatfield, not Hadfield :) I'll blame autocorrect...

That seems to be it for the buses for the day, and we are a little too far away to walk to the railway station.

We will return the following morning for the 0531 Diamond Bus service 52 to Redditch, Bus Station arriving there at 0621 on Wednesday morning.
