Its only a little more, £6.50, for a return, or £5.50 for a much longer trip to Guildford.<br />There's also an £8.20 Stagecoach day fare, valid e.g. from Kingston or Surbiton to Midhurst return. The bad news : err, how long it takes (3 hours).<br />And there's a £8.50 'Discovery Day Pass', valid on "most" buses in Hampshire / Sussex / Surrey / Kent, but not TFL buses. But, as far as I can find out, these are mostly local services, not express ones (like National Express coaches), so of little use for us.<br />Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395064086819994526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16756786.post-58461524435802591242017-02-21T10:31:10.326+00:002017-02-21T10:31:10.326+00:00OS have a new online map server.

The ladies of the church are holding "Snowdrop teas" on Sunday afternoons from 2pm to raise funds. The next, and possibly last, is next Sunday February 12. I can confirm there's a big choice of delicious homemade cakes on offer.
