Ooh, hadn't thought of that - I was expecting a move on the 74 towards Newport!!!

Let's depart on 2B15, GWR's 2000 service to Swindon. We alight at Stroud at 2033 on Sunday.

Being a Cardiff boy but going to uni in Bristol and now living in Gloucestershire I'm very familiar with it all! I'm also not predictable, I'm full of surprises!!

Stroud unfortunately has a rather pathetically early finish on local buses on a Sunday, as I found out on the session last week, so we stick to the rails. To avoid doubling back towards Gloucester/Cheltenham, we instead carry on as we board the 2130 Great Western Railway service 2B16 to Swindon, arriving there at 2158 on Sunday evening.

Taking advantage of the overnight dispensation we depart here heading west at 0501 on the Elizabeth Line. This being one of the handful of journeys that resulted in the "limited service" line diagram onboard the trains, we alight at London Liverpool St main station at 0527 on Monday.

I feel this might be the first time we've used LST main station for Lizzy since they started running through...?
