Still time for a futher connection, this time on 1H99, the 2230 CrossCountry service to Manchester Piccadilly (which I believe just so happens to be the same unit that has come off the service we've just alighted, 1M83 1825 from Plymouth), arriving there at 0012 in the early hours of Saturday morning.
