Void move, it would be pushing it to make that 2 minute connection at a station where the minimum connection time is 15 minutes.

Looking at a return to the waters edge before the day is out, we board the 1845 Stagecoach West Scotland service X36 to Ardrossan (Princess Street) that arrives there at 1924 on Monday evening.

Do you mean Princes Street that runs near Ardrossan Town Station?

If so, we take the 19:30 Scotrail service from Ardrossan Town to Milliken Park, arriving 20:03 Monday

A 2 minute walk takes us to Cochranemill Road where we catch the Colchri Coaches 307 service at 2006 to Johnstone High Street arriving at 2009 Monday evening

My interpretation of the Ardrossan stop is the same as Gnolife's

Feeling a little tired by now, we figure it would be mad to try and rush for a connection so settle for the 21:05 XC Service to Motherwell Arriving at 21:22 Monday night

We make the most of the time before we get turfed off the Caledonian Sleeper, before making a leisurely connection onto the 08:46 London Midland service to Kidsgrove, arriving 11:21 Tuesday

After a fairly quick look round what they have done to Mumps station for Metrolink, we take the 21.12 Metrolink service. As this is a new route that we haven't been on before, we go right through to St Werburgh's Road , arriving there at 21.57 on Tuesday evening.

We decide that being up for the first train of the day doesn't appeal to us, so we instead choose to have an extra hour in bed and take the 06:55 Northern service to Ardwick, arriving 07:43 Wednesday
