I did see this bus, but I was a little reluctant to take it as it drastically limits our options.

It looks as if the same bus then forms the 2250 Arriva Cymru service 4A, so all we can do is take it back to Bangor (Railway Station), arriving there at 2333 on Sunday evening.

Continuing the loop the loop, and in the interests of keeping us moving in these small hours we enter the station and retrace our steps, this time on the 0018 Transport for Wales service to Holyhead arriving at 0047 in the early hours of Monday morning.

A semi-rural part of north-west England
Leaving aside the railway station as an ongoing option, being determined to visit the north of the island when day breaks, we pass away the night and at the bus stop outside, we next board the 0756 Lewis y Lan service 61 to Bull Bay (the bus stop before Lon Tarw on Rutland Road) that arrives there at 0843 on Monday morning.

Google has this as a 0.6 mile walk, is it quoted as less elsewhere?
It's ever so slightly more than the usual maximum half mile limit, but I've allowed three-quarters of an hour for the amble from the bus station to the railway station, and it's then a three+ hour rest on the TfW train headed for Hereford and South Wales. Moves us on from Bangor!

To be fair, going from the bus stop outside the station from the bus station is 11 minutes/0.5 miles anyway.

Make our way over to Bangor railway station, in good time to catch the 1500 TfW train service to Hereford, arriving 1813 (Monday).
Glad to have left Anglesey/North Wales, we next board the 1848 West Midlands Railway service 1M78 to Droitwich Spa, arriving there at 1937 on Monday evening.

Unfortunately this bus arrives just in time to see the last X5 to Lymm departing leaving us with no option but to take the next 313 at 22.24 alighting at Shaw Heath, St. Thomas' Hospital at 23.00 on Tuesday.
