We exit the station and cross over to the Erith Town Centre/Cross Street bus stop (which, hilariously, is actually on Bexley Road), where we board the 0055 London Central service N89 (the longest London night bus route at almost 21 miles!) to Blackheath (Shooters Hill Road/Kidbrooke Park Road), arriving there at 0128 on Thursday morning.

How do you find out the route numbers of trains? I know they showed on bustimes for a while.

Real Time Trains

 

[-Colly405-]

We walk (9 min / 0.5 mile) to the Charlton Blackheath, Royal Standard stop BD on Charlton Rd where we board Stagecoach London service N53 at 0143. We alight at Westminster Station / Parliament Square, Stop C at 0212 on Thursday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Night tubes only run Friday and Saturday mornings as far as I can tell, so we remain with road transport as we board the 0221 London General service N87 to Kingston (Tiffin Boys School), arriving there at 0311 on Thursday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 0327 London General service N87 to Charing Cross station/Trafalgar Square (stop E) that arrives at 0427 on Thursday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

Crossing Strand to bus stop K we board London General service N11 at 0437, alighting at Acton Town station, stop R at 0528 on Thursday.

 

[Vexed]

We enter the station and board Transport for London's 0530 District Line service to Paddington, arriving at 0555 on Thursday.

Or not, there's a five minute minimum connection time. Instead I suggest the TfL's 0543 Circle line service to Paddington, arriving at 0607 on Thursday but if someone else would like to make another move that's fine.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Leaving the capital behind (think it is long overdue!), we enter the mainline station and board the 0628 Great Western Railway service 1G03 to Stonehouse, arriving there at 0802 on Thursday morning.

 

[Vexed]

We take a four minute walk to the Stonehouse (Elgin Mall) bus stop and board the 0818 Stagecoach West service 64 to Dursley (Sainsbury's), arriving at 0845 on Thursday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

Happy to be in Gloucestershire, but it isn't often that we get to waddle around in actual central London...!

We are almost in real time

We walk (4 min / 0.2 mile) to the Elgin Mall stop on Bath Rd (which doesn't appear to actually be near a Mall) where at 0818 we board Stagecoach West service 65 (assuming that the vehicle hasn't been nicked for the Cheltenham Festival!!!). We alight at Dursley (Sainsburys) at 0845 on Thursday.

Lol
Pipped on exactly the same journey !!!

 

[-Colly405-]

Deciding against a further train journey, and noting that the town centre is about a mile away, we take the only possible bus by walking (8 min / 0.4 mile) to the Cemetery bus stop on Church Rd. There we take in the sights for a good while, while we await the 1851 Newport Bus service 72, from which we alight at Chepstow Bus Station at 1915 on Thursday.

[Vexed]

Confusingly on bustimes.org and Google Maps that stop seems to be called Parc Taw (near New Cut Road)! The timings on there match up exactly with First's website, which calls it The Strand (Morfa Rd Jnc).

We take an eight minute / 0.4 mile (very indirect, or at least the route Google Maps suggests) to Swansea rail station and board the 0008 Transport for Wales service to Carmarthen, arriving at 0102 on early Friday morning.
