Click to expand...

Firstly though, Varteg Road is a very long road with about six or seven bus stops on it (Varteg Hill Terminus, Gladstone Terrace, Salisbury Terrace, Mountain Gate, Cemetery and Curwood). Which one have we alighted at?

Also, the returning on the 2220 service is probably the reverse working of the service you've taken us on from Pontypool, so I imagine there is a guaranteed connection.

Thank you for that Paul :)

Realising I am doubling-back on myself but merely trying to make use of all available services, we then board the 2320 Stagecoach South Wales Gold service X24 back to Cwmbran (Bus Station), arriving there at 2330 on Wednesday evening.
