With only the 10 being available here, we next board the 1901 Stagecoach West service 10 to Cheltenham (University of Gloucestershire/Park Campus), arriving there at 2003 on Monday.

Edit: later service due to incorrect timings on Post #47057.

We next board the 1730 1745 Stagecoach West service 10 to Podsmead (the bus stop near Milton Avenue on Podsmead Road) that arrives ther at 1825 1841 on Monday.
Just realised you've picked a service one minute after our arrival, so we'll have to edit timings. If we go with the following service, at 1745, we'll arrive at 1841, then my move from there to Cheltenham can be on the 1901 arriving there at 2003.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England

I really do have to pass on my most sincerest apoologies to all concerned. These new prescribed eye drops seem to take some getting used to with the result that I took a 1729 arrival posting that I responded to for the incorrect time of 1720.

Thought for the day....If Doctor Foster went to Gloucester in 2024, would he be forever travelling on the number 2 and 10 buses?

No problem, I've managed to push them both back a bit so all is well now :)

We remain at Cheltenham (University of Gloucestershire/Park Campus), at 2003 on Monday.

Confusingly the Park Campus stops are served by the N, the 10 and the N10 :s, and there are a significant number of other routes within the statutory 0.5 mile walk.

However, the only route operating at this time on a Monday is the Cheltenham & Gloucester Omnibus (t/a Stagecoach West) 10, on which we must now take our fourth consecutive journey, departing at 2019. We alight at Gloucester, Station Rd (stop Q) at 2050 on Monday.

I like to know the legal name as well as the trading name where they are different... 8-)

Fancying some fun, our only option here at this time of night is to stay with this route. We therefore walk (0.5 mile / 12 mins) to the Stanmoor stop on Drivemoor, where we board the next journey on Stagecoach West service 2 at 2246. We alight at Upton St Leonards (Post Office) at 2250 on Monday.

I do believe that this is a legal move???!!!

I believe so! Don't see anything wrong with it!

However, that is now it for the rest of the night, so we return in the morning for the 0603 Stagecoach West service 2 to Gloucester (Chequers Chippy), arriving there at 0615 on Tuesday.

Fab; just because we ended up at the same place after two consecutive moves :D

Escaping Gloucetser, it's a 0.5 mile (11 min) walk to St Aldate Church where we await the 0745 journey on Stagecoach West service C65. We alight at Cirencester (Waitrose) at 0838 on Tuesday.
