Unsure whether the return use of this service with its turn-round time is valid..:cry:

We spend the night watching the river flow by and deciding to use the first available Sunday mode of transport, we walk to the bus stop on Castle Hill and eventually we board the 0420 First Berkshire and The Thames Valley service 77 to Brands Hill (Sutton Lane) that arrives there at 0444 on Sunday morning.

Being here at this time on a Sunday evening seemed worrying, until we realise that there is now a late Sunday bus now timetabled to ensure that we can continue with our onward journey, so resigning ourselves for a long wait, we eventually board the 2230 First Leicester service 54 to Spencefield (Walshe Road) that arrive there at 2320 on Sunday evening.
