Too late by the look of it.
Crossing West St to bus stop C1 we depart on Stagecoach South service 54 at 1254, alighting at South Harting (White Hart) at 1342 on Friday.
Not wishing to back track we are faced with a long wait for the next (and last) 54 at 16.47 arriving at Petersfield Station at 17.10 on Friday.
