That was the last bus heading towards Daventry and Northampton, so we have no choice other than to board the 1914 Stagecoach Midlands service D2 back towards Rugby (North Street), arriving there at 1939 on Thursday evening.

Rather than boarding our 6th D1/D2 journey, we stay here overnight, as it is past 2300. We board the 0600 Stagecoach Midlands service 96 and alight at Northampton (New Duston, adj. Lodge Way) at 0646 on Friday morning.
