We are just, by the skin of our teeth, within the ten minute/0.5 mile walking boundary from the railway station, otherwise we would have been stuck at Etchingham for the remainder of the weekend because of where we were deposited, so we enter and board the 1813 Southeastern service 1H66 to Orpington, arriving there at 1904 on Saturday evening.

Think it's the X13 that serves Coleshill. It runs between Birmingham and Chelmsley Wood.

We exit the station and take the five minute walk to the bus station, where we board the 1725 Stagecoach Midlands service 148 to Longford (The Longford Engine), arriving there at 1745 on Sunday afternoon.
