Newport Square.....rather a somewhat cryptic destination with the settlement name not being shown, even for the service 412.....:roll:
The full address of that last stop, according to the timetable at the stated arrival time of 1512 is.....
Castle Hotel, Bridge Street, Newport.....this is the settlement of Newport that is not too far removed from Cardigan.
Yes, full location as shown in the timetable should be posted.
That was the full location as shown in the timetable - plus a Welsh translation

Not really finding much to see in this small settlement, we decide to backtrack our route until we find somewhere with more onward options and we are guided in this by a local who says that a large hospital which services much of the surrounding area has quite a few routes to and from it, so we return to the Castle Hotel on Bridge Street, where we board the 1524 Richards Bros service 412 to Withybush Hospital, Fishguard Road, Withybush that arrives there at 1618 on Monday afternoon.

We are approaching the coast for our next onward journey, so after having a light meal, we board the Silcox service 351 to Tenby (South Parade) that arrives at 1850 on Monday evening.

We find a good place to have an evening meal and decide that a rail journey is the best option at this time of the day, so suitably refreshed, we return to the railway station where we board the 2223 ATW service to Carmarthen that arrives there at 2339 on Monday night.

We are nothing but persistent in our belief that we will see much of this part of south-west Wales, as we have done so far recently and as it is far too late to attempt to book in anywhere for the night that is near to this newly reopened railway station, so we make ourselves as comfortable as we can then as dawn breaks, we stretch our legs for a walk and soon we find an establishment catering for the ferry traffic drivers where we enjoy a full Welsh breakfast before making our way to the bus stop to board the 0745 Richards Bros service 412 that arrives at Cardigan (Finches Square/St Mary Street) at 0826 on Tuesday morning.

Time affords us the opportunity to take an early leisurely mid-day meal, then we return from whence we came, to board the 1327 Mid Wales service 588 to Aberystwyth bus station that arrives there at 1359 on Tuesday afternoon.
Just imagine, there was once a direct rail route to Aberystwyth from south-west Wales, as regular contributors on the Closed Stations Journey quiz have established and used as a route on one of the legs, in the past.

We establish that a trip on the Vale of Rheidol is not practical today (just one minute to catch the only afternoon train) so we explore Aberystwyth for a while and than catch the 1530 ATW train to Wellington, Shropshire, arriving at 1744, Tuesday afternoon

We decide to see a recently re-opened railway station that has been the subject of so much discussion, as we are on this same line, so we board the 1801 LM service to Cosford that arrives there at 1818 on Tuesday afternoon.

We must now change our mode of travel to rail, with the bus service paucity at this time of the day, so we make our way to the railway station , just in time to board the 1959 ATW service to Chester (ex Birmingham International) that arrives there at 2119 on Tuesday evening.

Just over 10 minutes is all that we have to wait at this bus stop, until we board the 2157 G H A service 11A to Holywell (Coleshill Street) that arrives there at 2239 on Tuesday night.

We hear there is a train still available to make an onward journey, so we take the short walk to the railway station and make ourselves comfortable for the next hour and a half until we board the 0112 ATW service to Holyhead that arrives there at 0215 on Wednesday morning.
