A change of both direction and TOC sees us next board the 1939 ATW service to Cardiff Central that arrives at 2304 on Thursday evening.

 

[Trainfan344]

A short wait and change of TOC's sees us board the 2327 First great western service to Bristol Temple Meads arriving there at 0032 Friday Morning

Rather than spend a few hours shuttling about on the airport bus, we return to South Wales on the FGW 0137 departure, getting off at Newport at 0211 Friday morning

 

[Trainfan344]

A cold couple of hours before we board the 0435 ATW service to Crewe arriving there at 0724 Friday morning

 

[dzug2]

We decide to head east on the 0807 EMT departure, which we leave at Tutbury and Hatton at 0907 on Friday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Continuing onwards to a much larger railway station, we next board the 1007 EMT service to Derby that arrives at 1026 on Friday morning.

We long for scotland once more and so we board the 1044 Cross Country service to Glasgow Central arriving there at 1612 Friday Afternoon

Wishing to obtain a view of Great Cumbrae island, we next board the 1630 First ScotRail service to Largs that arrives at 1727 on Friday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

We are lucky that the train takes 6 minutes before departing meaning we can take the 1733 First Scotrail service to Paisley Gilmore Street arriving there at 1824 Friday Evening

I know the Scots can be frugal with their fuel allocations, but a six-day journey starting at Largs at 1733 on Friday that does not arrive in the Paisley area until 1824 on Thursday is exceedingly something really out of the ordinary.....hock:

Indeed, I have edited the post now, everything else was correct.
