Taking advantage of the overnight travel relaxation rule, we next board the 0547 Transport for Wales service to Bucknell that arrives there at 0857 on Friday morning.

I once remember a 740 bus service running from there to Ludlow, but not sure if it runs these days.

It does, thankfully. And a relief as Bucknell doesn't have a frequent service, with the only other option being to double back towards Swansea on the 0939 service or wait three and a half hours for the next service to Shrewsbury.

Leaving the station, we next board the 0953 Minsterley service 740 to Ludlow (Assembly Rooms), arriving there at 1040 on Friday morning.

With only the 375 available at this time of night we wait for the next bus at 23.42 to Southport, Wellington Street arriving at 23.56 on Friday.

With that being it for the rest of the evening, and us being too far away from the station, we return in the morning for the 0555 Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire service X2 to Bootle (Croxteth Road), arriving there at 0642 on Saturday morning.
