Our only option is to revert to LincsBus CallConnect, but to take the Coningsby and Horncastle version this time. Again allowing a non-unreasonable 15 minutes for the vehicle to reach us, we leave at 1650 for the approx. 5 minute journey in to Coningsby where we ask to be dropped off at Coningsby, Interchange Shelter at 1655 on Saturday.

Other than one more rapid demand service, which there is no point taking as we'll only get stuck in the arse end of nowhere, we remain here now until Monday, so we return for the 0620 Brylaine service IC5 to Metheringham (Railway Station), arriving there at 0651 on Monday morning.

I don't even know how to get out of this!

I think all we can do, as I think we're way too far from any other bus stop, is hold out until Tuesday morning and board the 0755 Centrebus service 6 to Grantham (The Kings School), arriving there at 0835 on Tuesday morning.

I’ve noticed a slight mistake in times on this one, causing us to be on two buses at once. I’ve double checked the times and subsequent moves just need pushing back 30 minutes to correct it, meaning we’d be at Nottingham City Hospital, South Entrance at 16:19, if other users are happy with that?
