We next board the 2114 Metrobus Fastway service 100 to Manor Royal (Crawley Business Quarter/Business Quarter Central), arriving there at 2144 on Wednesday.

We are fortunate to have arrived in the time of overnight travel relaxation, so we next board the 0658 Stagecoach South service 17 to Brighton (Stanford Avenue) that arrives there at 0812 on Thursday.
Leaving the station and crossing over to the adjacent bus station, we next board the 1420 Stagecoach South Coastliner service 700 to Mile End (Mile End Road/Charles Dickens Birthplace), arriving there at 1524 on Thursday.
Fabulously one of those scenarios again whereby the train and bus companies do not communicate with each other and the one train departs three minutes after arrival of said bus, so we wait for the 2225 Great Western Railway service 1O94 to Gatwick Airport, arriving there at 2312 on Thursday.
We transfer to the bus station and board the 0730 First Essex Airlink service X30 to Southend-on-Sea (Victoria Station Interchange), arriving there at 0911 on Friday.
