Sadly the only bus that serves Hampton stops at about 6pm, so we remain on the rails. We board the 2342 London North Western Railway service 2Y77 to Stechford, arriving there at 2355 on Saturday evening.

And that's also the only bus here (except for the 25 but even then that only connects with the 1 elsewhere). We instead board the 1735 Vectare service 25 to Peterborough (Rivergate - Northbound), arriving there at 1741 on Sunday afternoon where hopefully better connections are available.
