Although there are night buses available they only take us back to Gloucester so we take advantage of the overnight rule and return for the 06.42 Stagecoach West service 51 to Swindon Bus Station arriving at 0845 on Friday.

I was just about to post a move on the bus to Wimborne Minster! Never mind....

Well that's it for the rest of the night (probably one or two buses running but not really worth it), so we return in the morning for the 0542 South Western Railway service 1W92 to Hamworthy, arriving there at 0618 on Saturday morning.

The norm from here at the Marina usually involves taking the nine minute walk up to Marine Gate and getting the 12X to Eastbourne, and then subsequently drifting onwards to Kent for days, so we instead head the other direction from Marine Gate and board the 2021 Brighton & Hove service 27 to Westdene (Tongdean Lane West), arriving there at 2046 on Saturday evening.
