There was an earlier Trustybus 351 at 1636 on Saturdays - presumably Ye Olde Red Lion was a good pub!
We continue from St Margaret's on the next London-bound AGA train leaving at 1817 and arriving at Tottenham Hale at 1844 Saturday evening.

The 1636 doesn't run at the moment - it starts in September when it looks as though the Saturday afternoon service is being reduced
We take the 1850 Victoria Line tube to Vauxhall, arriving at 1913 Saturday evening

We then board the 2026 South West Trains service 2J66 to Wimbledon, arriving there at 2043 on Saturday evening.
All bus services in Thames Ditton finish at 7pm, which, for a village on the outskirts of the capital, is most pathetic.
