The connection to the 1223 looks a bit tight, so we'll wait for the 1244 TFW service to Holyhead which we'll take to Llanfairpwll aka Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch where we arrive at 1250 on Tuesday afternoon.

Probably could have made it - it was six minutes! But not to worry.

Anyway, it looks as if it's only an hourly service or so here, so we continue on the 1358 Transport for Wales service 1I22 to Wolverhampton, arriving there at 1712 on Tuesday afternoon.

Taking the next train out - the 0943 Northern service heading to Lincoln, but we'll alight at Worksop at 1009 on Wednesday morning.

Amending the day following the prompt from @Xenophon PCDGS - well spotted ! (My excuse is I just looked at the last post !)
