A short bus ride at this very late hour beckons and we board the 0029 London Bus service 176 to Lambeth (Tenison Way) that arrives there at 0039 on Monday morning.

Are you sure you mean Lambeth? The only Tenison Way I can find is at Waterloo Station. And yes there's a 176 arrival at 0039.



On the assumption that is so, we make our way to Waterloo East for the 0050 departure to Tunbridge Wells, arriving at 0204, Tuesday morning

If not, further instructions awaited

You trust everything "London" information oriented to be correct in direction naming, but evidentially not so....:roll:

Yes indeed. Waterloo station was correct.

We resign ourselves to wait for the next onward service, rather than to journey any futher at such an unearthly hour, eventually boarding the 0618 Southeastern service to Hastings that arrives there at 0707 on Tuesday morning.

After that earlier overnight long wait, before the previous journey, we suddenly feel the need for a good cooked breakfast, before continuing further, so we avail ourself of such a repast, then spend some time exploring before returning to the railway station where we board the 0959 Southern service to Brighton that arrives there at 1120 on Tuesday morning.

Don't forget to name the "quiz day" in your answers, please, as it is of assistance to people making following postings.

Time to avail ourselves of a narrow gauge light railway ride, but first we visit "Christine's" buffet bar next to the signal box for a plated crab salad made with locally-caught crabs, then it is time to board the 1330 Wells and Walsingham Light Railway service to Walsingham that arrives there at 1400 on Wednesday afternoon.

It is not often that we have made two rides on a narrow-gauge railway and visited a place of pilgrimage in such a short period of time, so suitably refreshed in matters railwayana and religion, we return to The Buttlands where as it very fortunate, we have arrived in time to board the 1635 Norfolk Green Coaches Coastliner service CH3 to Cromer that arrives there at 1734 on Wednesday afternoon.

The time means that it is time to seek overnight accommodation in this rather pleasant Victorian seaside resort that once was the railway terminus of a branch line that had a station used once by the royal family when visiting one of their holiday residences and after a most refreshing sleep and the usual hearty breakfast, we make our way to the bus station to board the 0820 Norfolk Green Coastliner service CH2 to Brancaster Staithe (opposite to the "Jolly Sailor") that arrives there at 0840 on Thursday morning.
