We take the six minute walk to Crowngate bus station, and, being mindful of the fact that services will start to dwindle down soon, board the 1945 First Worcestershire service 35 to Blackpole (Winchcombe Drive), arriving there at 2000 on Monday.

It does seem a bit of a cop out to stop off for the night here, given that Paddington has a multi-modal 24/7 service, however we don't wish to remain in the London area again so we return for the 0523 Great Western Railway service 1C00 to Filton Abbey Wood, arriving there at 0714 on Tuesday.

And the rest!! 13 minutes/0.6 miles to the northbound slip road. Subject to debate that, especially as the 43 was available from the police station, but alas we move on.

We next board the 1505 Stagecoach East Scotland service 99 to Leuchars (Railway Station), arriving there at 1516 on Wednesday.
