Bustimes shows two stops at the end of this route, both Lonsdale Rd (eastbound) [on Lonsdale Rd itself] and the terminus of Lonsdale Rd (Stop K) [on Castlenau], both with the same arrival times. Assuming you mean the terminus...

We depart on London United (for TfL) service 33 at 1052, alighting at Teddington Memorial Hospital (stop M) at 1139 Wednesday

Not wishing to slow the game up but it's probably worth pointing out the following from the guidance in post #2, it's probably fair to say there would have been plenty of alternatives from Waterloo to avoid waiting so long.
For example, it wouldn't be reasonable nor realistic, for someone to post a move which involves waiting at Clapham Junction for an hour and a half; trains pass through here much more frequently... whilst waiting two hours at a station such as Stowmarket would be more realistic as the station doesn't see frequent services.
We wait overnight for the 0558 South Western Railway service to Pinhoe arriving at 0732 on Thursday morning.

Yeah, fair comment. I did think of that rule but still decided to wait :D
We next board the 1200 Buses of Somerset service 21 to Burnham-on-Sea (Sea View Road), arriving there at 1323 on Thursday.
At 1406 we depart on our only real option, First West of England's 20. Passing the delights of Brean, we alight at Uphill (Weston Hospital Grounds) at 1447 on Thursday.
