BRTimes shows minimum connection times for NR stations, local buses I always assume to be five minutes and coaches depends on the operator.

This time of night doesn't seem to give many buses, so we walk to the rail station to board the 21:04 Great Western Railway service to St Erth, arriving at 21:15 on Tuesday evening.

We then get a nice rest before boarding the 05:57 Great Western Railway service, and asking the conductor to let us off at St Keyne Wishing Well Halt, arriving there at 06:09 on Wednesday morning.

The A17 runs until about 11pm, but that is about it.

We next board the 0725 Great Western Railway service 2L71 to Looe, arriving there at 0742 on Wednesday morning.

We don't have long to wait for the 10:22 Plymouth Citybus service 16 to Kings Tamerton (Marine Academy) where we arrive at 10:42 on Wednesday morning.

Gazumped again - pity - thought a nice potter round the Plymouth area might be good.

Not long to wait for the 15:52 Cross Country service to Guildford where we arrive at 18:51 on Wednesday evening.

I think we posted almost simultaneously - my update versus your new post. Perhaps we should take a vote!

I don't remember the Guildford bit of your message existing...but I don't have any objections so...

Nothing else here, so we wait again for the 17:16...except it doesn't meet our minimum connection time so...

May as well look around for a bit while we wait for the 18:16 Centrebus Midlands service 44 to Market Harborough (outside Railway Station), arriving at 18:33 on Thursday evening.

17:16 is used by the same vehicle, so we could have used that.

We enter the station and board the 19:18 East Midlands Railway service to Sheffield, arriving there at 20:47 on a Thursday.

Some Centrebus duties around Leicester have odd vehicle workings where the driver keeps the bus, so I'd never be too confident of predicting their workings!

We take the 2114 Northern service to Edale arriving at 2145 on Thursday.
