[ValleyLines142]

From the bus station we board the 1802 Arriva London service 340 to Harrow (Hindes Road), arriving there at 1841 on Monday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

We walk 10 minutes (0.5 mile) to Harrow Bus Station where at Stop B we board London Sovereign for TfL service X140 at 1901. We alight at Hayes & Harlington railway station (stop E) at 1935 on Monday.

[-Colly405-]

No more buses here today, so we depart on 2P82, GWR's 2048 service towards London. We alight at Reading at 2103 on Monday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We exit the station and take the three minute walk to Friar Street, where we board the 2130 Reading Buses Jet Black service 1 to Theale (The Green), arriving there at 2200 on Monday evening.

 

[-Colly405-]

Our only option here at this time of night is to continue with service 1.
The vehicle we have just alighted from passed The Green (westbound) at 2157, then journeyed around the A4/A340 roundabout to return to The Green (eastbound) where it terminated and we alighted at 2200. It is therefore a fairly safe conclusion that the 2201 journey which commences at this eastbound stop is the same vehicle. Our alternative is to wait 61 minutes for the next journey!

We therefore re-board the same vehicle on Reading Buses Jet Black service 1, departing at 2201. We alight at Calcot, Sainsburys (stop 1) at 2209 on Monday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

A fair conclusion! You can probably see if its the same bus working it on Bus Times.
