What goes wrong on this line
Line 205 is weekdays only, and two of its four outbound columns are short workings that start at Várzea (Estrada Regional) at 11:30 and 18:40, not in Ponta Delgada [source]. The full trips leave Forte de São Brás at 08:25 and 18:50; the returns from Sete Cidades (Lagoas) are 07:00, 09:30 and a 12:00 that ends at Várzea [source]. There is no 205 after midday out of the village; the afternoon return is the 17:15 line 206 shuttle to the Mosteiros junction [source].
