A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
That 2333 arrival time allows us "imaginary" travellers time-wise to take advantage of the overnight travel relaxation rule and next board the 0500 First West of England Citylines service 73 to Bishopston (the bus stop near nevil road on Gloucester Road) that arrives there at 0533 on Tuesday morning.

Still stuck with the 4/X4 here, and we're just too far away from Hawkedon Way for the 21, so we take the nine minute/0.4 mile walk to Earley station, where we board the 2014 South Western Railway service 2C68 to Feltham, arriving there at 2104 on Tuesday evening.
