Buses around by the railway station appear to be limited, and we're just too far away from the town centre where there are more buses, so instead we wait for the 0658 East Midlands Railway service 1F02 to Long Eaton, arriving there at 0733 on Wednesday morning.

No problem, it's an easy mistake to make and can sometimes go unnoticed.

A bit of a longer wait here, but I'd really like to try a new service which officially starts today (but doesn't actually run on a Sunday) and take the 1212 Robert's Tours service 125 to Breedon on the Hill, Cross Street arriving there at 1338 on Wednesday.

That sounds like one of those obscure Welsh settlements where we are stranded at occasionally on this thread...:)

I was rushing!! I was in work :lol:

To avoid having to wait a while for the next service elsewhere, we briefly head back the same way we came, as we board the 1408 Robert's Travel service 155 to Anstey (Latimer Street), arriving there at 1520 on Wednesday afternoon.
