Then take the 18.10 First 29A to Wales, arriving at 18.58 Weds.

By the way Dan, you forgot to supply the service number or equivalent, which in your case would be Yellow.

15 minutes on the bitterly cold platforms of Barnetby is 14 minutes too long, so we gratefully fall into the warmth of the 2142 EMT to Lincoln, arriving 2215 Wednesday evening.

Bugger. Not much else we can do :P so let's find a hotel (if possible in Hucknall!) and in the morning jump on 2D00, the 0639 East Midlands Trains service to Nottingham, which arrives at 0650 on Thursday morning.

You mean Thursday morning (not sure the train takes 24h11 to do Hucknall to Nottingham).

Take the Centrebus 19 to Melton Mowbray (Scalford Road), arriving at 08.09 Thursday.

Sorry, it is. It's because we arrived past midnight on the tram, so I thought it was the next day when in all fact it was the same day! :P hehe!

I've turned into such a pleb to society on here! I shall edit now.


We then board 1N43, the 0833 CrossCountry service to Birmingham New Street, arriving there at 0938 on Thursday??

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
We then take the 10:27 (Friday morning) to Fishguard, arriving 13:26 (Friday Afternoon)

What was this method of transport ?

We decide to see all the attractions that a ferry port has to offer and take our time over a very full meal then we decide to use train over bus for the next part of our journey and we board the 1900 ATW shuttle service to Clarbeston Road that arrives at 1921 on Friday evening.
