[Xenophon PCDGS]

Taking the overnight travel ruling to heart but wanting an early start, we next board the 0528 First West of England service 376 to Chewton Mendip (High Street) that arrives there at 0545 on Friday morning.

 

[RDP]

We appear to only have the 172 and 376 available here so we next take the 05.57 First WoE service 376 alighting at Bristol Temple Meads Station at 06.50 on Friday.

[RDP]

Oh dear! Service 10 is off peak only and not at weekends with no other routes anywhere near and that was the last bus leaving us stranded until the 10.09 service on Monday which gets us to Weston super Mare Interchange at 10.30.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We don't often get stranded on this quiz from the middle of Friday afternoon to mid-morning on the following Monday, especially when a relatively new bus service has commenced. Hutton must be a place with a high car ownership...or very healthy walkers.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next take the 11.37 First WoE service X1 to Bristol Bus Station arriving at 12.11 on Monday.

We arrived at Cleeve at 1136, so it is not possible (according to the 5 minute connection ruling) to catch a connection at 1137.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We arrived at Cleeve at 1136, so it is not possible (according to the 5 minute connection ruling) to catch a connection at 1137.

That's okay, it was clearly a misread by the look of things. We can get the 1153 arriving at 1227.

We next take the 11.37 First WoE service X1 to Bristol Bus Station arriving at 12.11 on Monday.
