We walk to the bus station (5 min / 0.2 mile) where we board NXWM service 59 from stand F at 2348. We alight at Wednesfield (Churchway School) at 0000, as early as you can get on Wednesday morning.

I can trace a Chadsway School in Wednesfield, but cannot find a Churchway School there, which worries me in case there is there is quite a distance between these two schools.
