I could have put money on that 2337 Manchester to Holyhead coming into play! :D

We next board the 0614 Transport for Wales service 1V91 to Hereford, arriving there at 0900 on Saturday.

Sorry, realised that doesn't run on a Saturday! Bear with.

We next board the 0633 Avanti West Coast service 1K25 to London Euston, arriving there at 0935 on Saturday.
Haha I didn't want to but seemed justifable!

Mindful of the 15 minute minimum connection time here we take the 0954 London Northwestern Railway service to Hemel Hempstead arriving at 1020 on Saturday morning.

Unfortunately that's us stuffed for the night now as we're too far away from the seafront to use the N700 at 0245 so we have no choice but to break for the night here and return for the 0637 Southern service 2S81 to Southwick, arriving there at 0648 on Sunday.

Almost immediately, we hop on the 0948 PR1 Park and Ride service to Portsmouth Harbour Station, arriving at 0958, and a (hopefully) beautiful view over the harbour and (maybe) time for a quick Fish and Chips stop for a mid morning snack.

Well. An interesting predicament here if I remember rightly. There is a long term closure of Ryde Pier Head station but I believe the walk to the Esplanade and bus station is just within the permitted 0.5 mile* boundary, so on that basis we board the 1015 Wightlink Ferry service to Ryde Pier Head, arriving there at 1037 on Sunday.

* Edit - it is indeed, 11 minutes/0.5 miles.

Because we can't be bothered to do that walk, we then get the 1047 Island Line Replacement Bus service 0B00 to Ryde Esplanade, arriving at 1050 Sunday morning.
