Next we take the 1310 Centrebus service 8 to Wymeswold, Rectory Place arriving there at 1411 on Thursday.

**It isnt shown as a through service on Timetables but the buses generally do work through. I believe its split for operational convenience as some of the halves are duplicated for college movements at certain times of the day. There is a 7 minute layover in Melton even if the passengers do have to change buses, but I dont think it should be seen as two seperate moves**

I used the time for Bedford, time corrected to 1423, which is what I see on RTT. Shouldn't make any difference, the next move is still valid.
