We walk the 2 minutes to Caslte St (stop V) and board Arriva Beds & Bucks blueNred service 1A at 1213. We alight at Chesham Broadway at 1241 on Friday.

Times taken from Carousel buses website - bustimes seems to get confused over the 1 and 1A seemingly being jointly operated.
I think the route brand is blueNred but it is difficult to tell from the website, not a particularly clever brand if a stranger doesn't know what it actually means! Perhaps blue (Arriva) and red (Carousel)?

Our only options look to be the 9 (which has finished for the night) or 10. There is one remaining journey on the 10, which looks to be the same vehicle returning, departing at 2222. We therefore reboard the vehicle on Arriva Herts & Essex service 10, departing at 2222, and alight at Harlow Town railway station at 2239 on Friday.

I hope this is acceptable, if not we are stranded until the next service 10 at 0654 on Saturday.

It's definitely a grey area as i'm sure the driver wouldn't appreciate a passenger getting off and immediately back on again when (s)he arrives and departs at the same time but it's probably sensible to go with it under the circumstances.

We enter the station and catch the 2255 Greater Anglia service to Stansted Airport arriving there at 2314 on Friday.
