We cross the road to the Baltimore Close stop to catch the 06:14 NAT service to Cardiff, opposite Queen Street station, arriving there at 06:42 on Thursday morning

(edited slightly because I didn’t realise this service stops across the road and I made us walk unnecessarily. The service itself hasn’t changed)

We enter Queen Street station and board the 0701 Transport for Wales service 2V01 to Fairwater, arriving there at 0715 on Thursday morning.
