We seem to have got out at a bit of a nothing station, and the next bus service doesn't arrive until tomorrow morning.

We're forced to wait almost two hours for the 18:46 Chiltern Railways service to Birmingham Snow Hill, arriving there at 19:15 on Monday night.
Could have gone to Leamington Spa at 1739 if you'd fancied it...

From Snow Hill we take the we take the 1928 West Midlands Trains service to The Lakes arriving at 1958 on Monday.

Only a couple of buses a day here and they are long gone. It's over a mile to the nearest pub so we have no choice but to wait until we can flag down the 20:58 West Midlands Trains service to Stratford on Avon where we arrive at 21:23 on Monday evening

Doesn't make much sense to go back where we've already passed through...

I say that, but since it's too late for any bus services, we catch the 21:39 Chiltern Railways service to Leamington Spa, arriving at 22:09 on Monday night.
