We decide to take a long trip across London by bus, because we want to see some of the sights of the city. So we board the 16:32 Abellio London service 68 to West Norwood, West Norwood Station (Stop T), arriving at 17:36 on Tuesday evening.

Does the fact we used Euston station mean we must wait 15 minutes for any connection? If so, then I will modify those times to 16:44 and 17:48 respectively.

I'm afraid the X68 is set-down only after Central London.

There's a 468 at 17:29 which takes us to the Whitgift Centre (very close to West Croydon) arriving at 18:08. We can then walk to George Street to pick up the tram.
Somebody ought to tell the journey planners that then!
