There is a bus at 0955 we could use from West Middlesex to Feltham? It leaves the rear at 0955 but is due to leave the front at 0957.

Anyway I will continue from Feltham on the 1101 Abellio London service 235 to its terminus at Lower Sunbury, Three Fishes, arriving at 1115 on Friday morning.

I did notice it but I wasn't ssure how big the hospital was so I wondered if five minutes would have been enough time, hence using the following services after. Furthermore, I didn't notice there was a front and a rear stop! :lol:

It is confusing, the 110 only serves the stop round the front, but the 117 and 481 both serve both stops, anyway I will continue from Staines on the 1223 Abellio Surrey service 461 to Weybridge, Ship Hotel, arriving at 1312 on Friday afternoon.

Last month for the 451, it is being withdrawn in an overhaul of Surrey bus routes at the end of August.

From the nearby stop at M&S, we then board the 1557 Arriva South East service 436 to Woking (Marlborough Road), arriving there at 1625 on Friday afternoon.

Shame about the 451!

It's too far to walk, so Stagecoach bus 1 takes us at 1848 to Aldershot rail station, where we arrive at 1852 Friday evening

Edit - times corrected after consulting a real timetable rather than google maps

When we arrive, we see there is a service in 5 minutes from the other side of the platform heading to Bristol. However, this is under the minimum interchange time here, so we can't take it.

Instead, we wait a bit longer, before hopping on the 00:17 FGW service to Oxford, where we arrive at 00:54 on the Sunday morning

Don't forget the timetable is all over the place at the moment due to the Bath works. It usually leaves at 0010.

I've checked that service far in the future, and noticed that almost every time the timing is a bit different. 5 minutes earlier to 3 minutes later. The 00:17 was the most-frequent timing as far as I could see.

It being a Saturday night/Sunday morning there's night buses aplenty, or so it seems

We exit the station and make our way to Frideswide Square for the 0101 Stagecoach Oxford NS1 departure to Brize Norton Roundabout, where we arrive at 0144 Sunday morning
