We exit the station and board the 1007 Stagecoach London service 122 to Lee (Dacre Park), arriving there at 1028 on Wednesday morning.

I did do a journey on the Emirates Cable Car on here a few weeks back.

Darce Park is apparently spelt Dacre Park. Quite an unusual spelling...at least it is one when it doesn't have an apostrophe.

We walk the 11 minutes (0.5 miles) down Dacre Park to Blackheath Hospital to board the 10:47 Stagecoach London service 54 to Elmers End (Elmers End Station), arriving for 11:33 on Wednesday morning.

We cross to the other side of the main line and wait for the 16:28 South Western Railway service to Boxhill and Westhumble where we arrive at 16:56 on Wednesday afternoon.


Sorry - I do seem to have picked the only Wednesday where this service is going to run! On three successive Wednesdays the 16:28 is going to Epsom, Dorking and Guildford via Epsom.

I think that's fairly safe!


Just a bit too late!

We take the 7 minute 0.3 mile walk to Mitcham Library on Downe Rd and take the 1907 National Express Service A3 to Stockwell Station (South Lambeth Road) arriving there at 1928 on Wednesday.
I hope this is valid, I know National Express are suspending services from tonight but thought it would be good to sneak one in (and a way of documenting their suspension).

Whilst completely unrealistic, it looks valid but I'm surprised such a journey is possible; I'd have thought outer London suburbs would have been pick up only on the way to Gatwick and set down only on the way back. Why anyone would pay £4.40 to make that journey I do not know!

We then board the 1942 London General service 88 to Parliament Hill (Parliament Hill Fields), arriving there at 2040 on Wednesday evening.

Was literally JUST going post the same move! Spooky!

From the bus stop outside the north entrance to the station on Wyndham Place we next board the 1259 Bluestar service 7 to Shirley (Church Street), arriving there at 1308 on Thursday afternoon.

Went to Southampton for the first time just before lockdown, very interesting bus services!
