No other routes penetrate this far into the Brooklands setup on weekdays, so we await the 1239 Falcon Buses service 436 to Byfleet (The Plough) at 1247.

Walking 5 mins up to Byfleet & New Haw station, we then board the 1310 SouthWesternRailway service to London Waterloo, alighting at Earlsfield for 1338 on Tuesday afternoon.



As this would technically line up with today, the service would have been operated by 455707 and 455727 according to RTT.

We take the six minute walk to Liverpool Street station, where we board the 1504 Elizabeth Line service 9U15 to Custom House, arriving there at 1513 on Tuesday afternoon.

Is this our first time on the newly opened section of the Lizzo Line?

Indeed, I specifically headed to Moorgate to set the move up nicely so we could cross the boundary into new territory haha


We then board the 0639 Stagecoach West service C to Cheltenham, High Street arriving at 0648 on Wednesday morning.

We walk around the corner to Clarence Street (the bus stop outside Superdry), and board the 0700 Stagecoach West service E to Woodmancote (Potters Field Road)*, arriving there at 0727 on Wednesday morning.

* for timetabling purposes, timetables say buses terminate at The Swallow in Bishops Cleeve, but they do a loop around Woodmancote before returning south (so in other words, the latter half of that journey is actually the southbound working towards Hatherley). It is a through service and its the same bus operating it (and journey planners will show a direct bus).

We take 3 minutes to walk the 0.2 miles to the Newsagent stop on Station Rd. There, we board Marchants Coaches service M18 at 0800, alighting at Alderton, War Memorial at 0825 on Tuesday.

NOTE: BusTimes does not say that this school bus is a closed service, so I am assuming that means it is open to the general public

Not wanting to use the bus stop in the Cotswold Academy school grounds for obvious reasons, we walk 11 minutes (0.5 mile) to the Melville Estate stop on Station Road, from where we catch the 1530 Pulhams Coaches service A. We alight at Shipton-under-Wychwood, High St at 1554 on Tuesday.

NOTE: BusTimes does not say that this school bus is a closed service, so I am assuming that means it is open to the general public
