Apologies, it's usually me it happens to! Also, with the last 35 moves being in bonny Scotland, and having visited Glasgow in particular twice, I thought it wise to move elsewhere.

We exit the station to the light rail stop outside the station, where we board the 1119 West Midlands Metro service to Dudley Street Guns Village, arriving there at 1141 on Wednesday.

2E30 actually goes to Carmarthen (engineering work permitting).

We next take the 22.22 TfW service 2B88 alighting at Swansea at 23.29 on Tuesday.

Ah, I was looking at the 26th Feb, and it was showing it as WTT on RTT, I did think it a strange place to terminate though

We next take the 22.22 TfW service 2B88 alighting at Swansea at 23.29 on Tuesday.
The next morning we get the 0516 Transport for Wales service 2M04 to Llandovery, arriving at 0640 Wednesday morning.
