Where in Weymouth, you should include area and stop name.

As can be seen in this screenshot, the National Express website only shows Weymouth, with no info as to stop name or location...

I can't seem to find the aforementioned journey to Bridport. Can you confirm the journey planner used please? Traveline SW does show a 20:26 X51 departure from Poundbury, arriving at Bridport Coach Station at 20:51.

It does appear to be that one. I'm sure I saw an 1927 though!

We've all done it...I did on one of the other quizzes earlier.

I believe we are continuing from here.

Having seemingly run out of options for further onward travel on the Wednesday evening, when we arrived in Bridport, we continue the following day by boarding the 06:42 First in Wessex Dorset & South Somerset X51 service. We alight at Axminster Railway Station, arriving 07:30 on Thursday morning.

Avoiding the temptation of just returning back and forth on Thameslink all night, we instead take the nine minute walk to Bedford bus station, where we board the 0435 Stagecoach Bedford service X5 to Oxford (Gloucester Green Bus Station), arriving there at 0650 on Friday morning.
