You chose to take us to Higham where there are no other options!

That's usually a recurring theme with Paul :lol:

We then take the 1115 Arriva Midlands service 66 to Hinckley, Rail Station arriving there at 1147 on Friday morning.

We enter the station and board the 1237 CrossCountry service 1P14 to Birmingham New Street, arriving there at 1314 on Friday afternoon.

Missed some good opportunities for some Cheltenham and Cardiff bus hops.

Not a lot going on in the way of bus services here, so we continue on the 1148 Trent Barton Villager service V3 to Burton-upon-Trent (High Street), arriving there at 1155 on Saturday morning.

A few points:

1) The operator needs to be specified.
2) There is no 1155 service on a Saturday
3) You haven't specified where we've boarded the bus.
4) It's only a nine minute 0.4 mile walk from the Shrewsburys Arms to the railway station anyway.

So, we could technically walk to the station and post a move from there.
