That appears to be it for the evening, and I cannot find many services that run early on a Sunday morning, so we stop off overnight and take the eleven minute/0.5 mile walk to the railway station, where we board the 0919 CrossCountry service 1S37 to Leeds, arriving there at 1100 on Sunday morning.

Being mindful of the ten minute minimum connection time that applies at this large station, we board the 1116 Northern service to Appleby that arrives at 1306 on Sunday afternoon.

There being a distinct lack of Sunday bus services around these parts, after a pint and lunch in the Midland Hotel it's back to the station for the 14:26 Northern train service to Carlisle where we arrive at 15:11 on Sunday afternoon.

Taking into account the fifteen minute minimum connection time here at Glasgow Central, we then exit the station to the bus stops on Hope Street, where we board the 1729 First Glasgow SimpliCITY service 38 to Easterhouse (Glasgow Fort Shopping Centre), arriving there at 1806 on Sunday evening.

From what I remembered about Easterhouse many years ago when I last went there, these were not fond memories....
We next board the 1814 First Glasgow service 46 to Castlemilk (the bus stop opposite Viewgreen Court on Ardencraig Road) that arrives there at 1937 on Sunday evening.

The departure time from Glasgow Fort is 1820 on that service and also the arrival stop is Viewglen Court, but it doesn't make a difference to the timings of the post.
Anyway, we then board the 2001 First Glasgow SimpliCITY service 34A to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, arriving there at 2042 on Sunday evening.

Still time to enjoy the delights of a late-night Sunday night service, so we next board the 2308 ScotRail service to Hillfoot that arrives at 2327 on Sunday evening.

That's the end of Sunday service. We stay overnight and return to the nearby bus stop (Station opp) to board the 06:57 First Scotland East route X10 service to Balfron, Clinic, arriving there at 07:32 on a Monday.

There are some schooldays-only services here, but the best plan seems to be to catch the next First Scotland East X10 service at 07:40* which will take us to Stirling Bus Station (Stance 11) where we arrive at 08:25 on Monday.
* there is a split in the service here at this time, so it isn't a case of reboarding the same bus. Hope that's OK.

Yeah, my sources showed it as an entirely different service. If not, I would have taken us further. All good!
