Not a lot of happenings here with all buses finished for the day, so we return on the 1933 Great Western Railway service 2G86 to Devonport, arriving there at 2014 on Friday.

It seems there are no more evening services here so we will have to wait overnight and return the following morning. Unfortunately Sunday options still seem limited so we take the 0905 Stagecoach South West service 6 to Holsworthy, HATS Theatre (rather than going straight back to Okehampton) arriving there at 0925 on Sunday morning.

Options are even more limited here, so, torn between returning to Bude or Okehampton, we opt for the latter solely on the basis that it has an hourly rail service on Sunday as well as buses so we wait for the 1325 Stagecoach South West service 6 to Okehampton Railway Station, arriving there at 1405 on Sunday.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
Since we are at the terminal point of that last bus journey and becoming rather disenchanted with weekend amended rail timetables, we decide to stay with omnibus travel and next board the 2048 Stagecoach South West service P to St Thomas (Old Vicarage Road) that arrives there at 2122 on Sunday.

Pipped at the post I'm afraid.

Assuming we're here, we note that we are at the terminal of this service and return on the 2218 Stagecoach South West service 1A to Whipton (Honeylands Children Centre), arriving there at 2302 on Sunday.
