A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
There being no service from Westfield Avenue North in the reverse direction and only the service 27 available, plus the lack of area knowledge of Saltdean at such a late hour on a Sunday night coupled with a medical infirmity, it was advisible to wait at the stop we disembarked and next board the 2242 Brighton and Hove Coaster service 27 to Saltdean (Coombe Vale Top) that arrives there at 2243 on Sunday.

Not a lot of choice here so, thinking it wise to head somewhere where plenty of onward connections are available, we continue on the 1959 Stagecoach North Scotland service 64 to Aberdeen (Adelphi), arriving there at 2103 on Monday.
