Ok so it is possible bit not at the time stated. I was using the actual timetable which would not have shown departures after midnight.

In that case then there is a service at 0005 arriving at 0040. Google Maps did pick up a service at 2350 I'm sure! Unless that was a Friday or Saturday maybe.

Post corrected.

Worcester is another place with an embarrassingly early finish on its buses, for a city of its size, so we hop back on board the train we've just alighted and head towards the second city of the UK on the 2011 West Midlands Railway service 2S23 to Langley Green, arriving there at 2102 on Tuesday evening.

Can I ask if the above extract of the rules is still valid, when it is part of an onward journey and not one that has terminated a service.

I am unsure of the wording used in posting # 37,727.
That train terminated at Worcester Foregate Street and returned towards Birmingham so valid although personally I would have boarded another train to a different destination rather than back track.

It's not part of an onward journey, as @RDP has stated. The timetable shows this.
Fancying a ride on the Parry People Mover we take the four minute walk to Stourbridge Town Station and take the 22.50 WMT (Pre Metro Operations) service to Stourbridge Junction arriving at 22.53 on Tuesday.
We exit the station and board the 2259 National Express West Midlands service 7 to Wollaston Farm (Wollaston Junction), arriving there at 2315 on Tuesday evening.

With nothing much in the way of onward connections and not wishing to back track we have a rather long wait at the adjacent railway station for the 19.41 TfW service to Swansea arriving at 22.05 on Wednesday.
