Is that the Orchard Gardens stop in Alphington or St Thomas? I think that I have confused myself and as such, will not make a posting that is obviously going to be incorrect, as this will cause problems for other thread contributors.

No it's just before St Thomas, on Dunsford Road, at the intersection of Surbiton Crescent.

Alphington is just under 2 miles south east of there.

We walk round the corner to the Surbiton Cres stop on Bowhay Lane (3 min / 0.1 mile), where we await Stagecoach South West service P at 1738.
We alight at Stoke Hill, Stoke Arms at 1758 on Friday.

This may well be my last move until after Christmas, so "Merry Christmas" to all players...

Surprisingly, for a relatively large seaside town, we have limited options here. Basically either go up to Barnham on the train we've just got off, or a bus. We aim for the latter as we exit the station to the bus stop outside and board the 2301 Stagecoach South Coastliner service 700 to Chichester (Bus Station), arriving there at 2321 on Saturday evening.
