I did the central section on Wednesday last week, on a work trip. I'm usually in London on a Tuesday so was gutted that it was Wednesday last week... :(

It takes us 5 minutes to walk the 0.2 miles to the Oxfam stop on Wood St, from where we await the 1640 Stagecoach Midlands service 50. We alight at Shipston-upon-Stour Hospital at 1707 on Friday.

Assuming you mean Andover and not Amesbury, as the latter doesn't have a bus station?
