That seems to be a STP schedule, there is a suitable alternative at 1518 (2K02) arriving at 1536.
Didn't show as a STP schedule however it doesn't make much difference to connecting timings. :)
Next we take the 1548 Great Northern service to Watton at Stone arriving at 1637 on Wednesday.
We exit the station and take the eight minute walk to The Bull, where we board the 1723 Centrebus South service 390 to Hertford North (Railway Station), arriving there at 1734 on Wednesday afternoon.
