Leaving the station, we take the nine minute walk to Jewry Street where we board the 2252 Bluestar service 1 to Southampton (Giddy Bridge), arriving there at 2329 on Monday.
We walk the 8 minutes (0.3 miles) to the Civic Centre and get the 2342 Bluestar service 18 to Bitterne (Midanbury Lane), arriving at 2350 Monday evening.
Time for an overnight break. We then take the six minute (0.3 mile) walk to the railway station for the 06.32 SWR service 2E05 alighting at Fareham at 06.57 on Tuesday.
We depart at 1000 on First Portsmouth, Fareham & Gosport service 21, from which we alight (after a trip around the loop) at Woodcot (HMS Collingwood) at 1028 on Tuesday morning. Apologies if that means we have to take another journey on the 21, but I couldn't pass by here without stopping.
Just a pity that it isn't route 405
Been wondering how long it would take me to get here ...
With a 90 minute wait until the next 21 we instead take the ten minute (0.5 mile) walk to the Meadow Walk bus stop for the 10.49 First Portsmouth service 9A to Fareham Bus Station arriving at 11.01 on Tuesday.
Sadly out in the sticks here that's actually it for the night, so in the morning we return for the 0711 Stagecoach West service 351 to Kingsholm (Denmark Road), arriving there at 0739 on Wednesday.
We walk the 7 minutes (0.3 miles) to Francis Close Hall and get the 10:11 Stagecoach West service D to Cheltenham Spa Rail Stn, arriving at 1017 Wednesday morning.
We walk the 4 minutes (0.1 miles) to the Bus Station and get the 1330 Stagecoach South West service 120 to Kingswear (Banjo), arriving at 1352 Wednesday afternoon
We take the three minute (0.2 mile) walk to the Lower Ferry terminal for the 14.10 River Link service to Dartmouth, North Embankment Ferry Terminal arriving at 14.15 on Wednesday.
We next board the 1555 Tally Ho! service 164 to Totnes (the bus stop opposite the Royal Seven Stars Hotel on Coronation Road) that arrives there at 1630 on Wednesday,
Mindful of the 10 minute minimum time connection that applies at this large station, we next board the 2222 Northern service to Adwick that arrives there at 2256 on Wednesday.
Three moves I've spent ages planning, then get pipped at the last minute. Both Outwood and Swindon now....
From dirty Donny as my friend from there calls it, we next board the 0741 TransPennine Express service 1B67 to Birchwood, arriving there at 0924 on Thursday.
