Due to the infrequent bus services in this part of Wales and being out of range of the railway station we have a bit of a wait for the 12.20 Lloyds Coaches service 3B to Porthmadog, Park Stand C on Stryd Fawr/High Street arriving at 12.49 on Saturday.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
There was no need to walk anywhere as there was a bus leaving 32 minutes earlier from the same bus stop....

1330 Gwynfor Coaches service S4 to Beddgelert Stop B on the A498 that arrived there at 1355, from where a service S3 would continue for the following contestant posting.

It appears that the only bus service in Ramsgate of a Sunday evening is Stagecoach South East's "Loop". Resisting the temptation to head to Margate's hospital, where I took us just a few days ago last time we were in Ramsgate, we board the 2141 departure, and decide to alight at Westwood Cross Shopping Centre (stop B) at 2151 on Sunday.

I used what RTT show for the Sunday timetabling in their website : a website that was recommended to me by other contributors to this thread quite some time ago.
Does it have STP next to the service? If so, that's a short notice alteration (i.e. because of engineering works).

My usual reminder that it’s a good idea to trust other posters - we don’t need to make a point of double checking previous moves. Let’s play on please.

Wrong London terminus. Should read Charing Cross arr. 19.07.

Allowing for the minimum connection times that apply at this large station, we next board the 1927 Southeastern service to Ramsgate that arrives there at 2136 on Sunday evening.
There is a 19.26 Charing Cross-Ramsgate arriving at 21.38.

It appears that the only bus service in Ramsgate of a Sunday evening is Stagecoach South East's "Loop". Resisting the temptation to head to Margate's hospital, where I took us just a few days ago last time we were in Ramsgate, we board the 2141 departure, and decide to alight at Westwood Cross Shopping Centre (stop B) at 2151 on Sunday.
To allow minimum connection time this should be amended to the 22.11 departure arriving at 22.21

Would suggest the above rather than strike everything through.
