Assuming TFL is running to timetable.  That's a foolish assumption.

Yes, it is.  And you're right.  I worked for a while in Basingstoke.
Sadly the office was nearly 2 miles away from the station, the bus was
very expensive, and infrequent.  I used to walk it, or get a taxi.
Neither was much cop.

These days I'd take a bike on the train, and cycle at each end.
