Too late by the look of it.

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.
Technically wasn't as I did post it, but Internet cut out!

In that case, we are given a second opportunity to head to Pompey as we next board the 1736 South Western Railway service 1P51 to Portsmouth Harbour, arriving there at 1807 on Friday evening.

I presume that should read Sholing.
I'm such a silly old sausage!!!! That's the first time I've done that on this game!!!

It should indeed be Sholing. My apologies, post duly amended - clearly I shouldn't have had a whole bottle of wine!!

Indeed. I checked Sundays, then it reset to weekdays!

With the first bus out of Blackheath on a Sunday being at 0637, this now needs a replacement route, so we walk instead to Blackheath Market where we board NXWM service X8 at 0738. We alight at Dudley (Evolve Campus, stop DY4) at 0755 on Sunday.
