Sadly we have just passed the only other train that calls at Swineshead station in an afternoon. Unsure whether we can use the CallConnect bus service, as we hadn't pre-booked it, we remain here until Monday morning. There are no suitable bus services at this location and no trains call on a Sunday. We therefore board the 07:57 East Midlands Trains service which conveys us to Aslockton arriving at 09:00 on Monday morning

Edit: Sorry everyone, should be Bedlington now. My autocorrect is most irritating.
