Sunday is always difficult as a travel day by bus, so we are fortunate that we do not have too long to wait and make our way to stand 2 of the bus station where we board the 1030 Goldline-Stagecoach South service number 1 that arrives at Camberley (Pembroke Boulevard) at 1108 on Sunday morning.

This following move was from the leg above that was published at 0011....then deleted at 0628

Just enough time to enter the station, find the correct platform and board the 1322 SWT service to London Waterloo that arrives there at 1351 on Sunday afternoon.

Sorry about that, I accidentally typed over my post. No worries.





We then continue our travels in the Capital on the 1504 Arriva London route 34 to Arnos Grove (Tube Station), arriving there at 1524 on Sunday afternoon.

Being Sunday we decide to look around the area, as we have chosen to use the bus rather than the tube for our next journey and we return to stop "T" on Bowes Road where we board the London Bus service 34 that arrives conveniently at Walthamstow Central Bus Station at 1741 on Sunday afternoon.

It is February on a bitterly cold Sunday night where we need to be looking to a more conducive connectial point with the evening drawing in, so we make our way to the tube station and board the 2038 Victoria Line service to London Euston underground station that arrives at 2100 on Sunday evening.
