The Transport Game

[Buttsy]

Remember to show the "quiz day" at the end of any postings....


We decide to stay with rail and head off south and we board the 1516 XC service to Winchester that arrives there at 1624 on Wednesday afternoon.

Just to make it very clear, the above was the last move.

 

[dzug2]

We catch Stagecoach bus 68 from the Railway Station Bridge at 1649 and travel on it to Stockbridge Town Hall, arriving at 1723 Wednesday afternoon

Ever had the feeling that buses to rural retreats finish too soon...:roll:....so being unable to return on the same bus we arrived on, it is time to seek hotel accommodation first, then to explore this area of Hampshire later on, after partaking of an excellent meal, after which we decide to have an early night and awake in good time to return to the bus stop where we can board the 0709 Stagecoach in Hampshire service 68 to Littleton (Littleton Church) that arrives there at 0732 on Thursday morning.

 

[dzug2]

Not a lot happening in Littleton at that time in the morning and we are at the opposite end of the village to the stores where a snack might have been obtainable, so we perforce wait for the next 68 bus at 0805 and return to Winchester Railway Station Bridge, arrivig at 0820 Thursday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time to make a short rail journey so we enter the railway station and board the 0837 SWT service to Southampton Central that arrives there at 0859 on Thursday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We continue by rail on the 0933 Southern stopping service to Brighton arriving at 1118 on Thursday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A good long omnibus ride is now called for, so walk from the railway station to Churchill Square and board the 1204 Stagecoach South Coastliner 700 service to Bognor Regis (High Street) that arrives there at 1420 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We make our way to the station for the 1456 Southern service to Billingshurst arriving at 1529 Thursday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time for an omnibus journey for a short excursion (after taking afternoon tea) and we return to the bus stop at the railway station where we board the 1612 Compass Travel service 100 to Pulborough (Red Lion) that arrives there at 1626 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We spend a short while exploring the town before taking Stagecoach South's 1 service at 1702 to Worthing Town Hall, arriving at 1755 Thursday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Worthing is quite a pleasant place and one that offers reasonable food establishments that we have a selection to choose from to take a light meal and suitably refreshed in body and mind, we board the 1851 Stagecoach South Coastliner 700 service to Chichester bus station that arrives there at 2017 on Thursday evening.

 

[dzug2]

Tis but a short walk to the rail station where we catch the 2107 Southern service to Redhill arriving at 2218 on Thursday evening.

From there we'll await the 2233 First Great Western service to Reading arriving there 0001 on a Friday morning.

 

[Rich McLean]

We are getting in tired, and just remembered we have a berth booked on the Night Rivera.

So we await the 0037 FGW Sleeper Service to Truro, arriving at 0704 Friday Morning

 

[dzug2]

Falmouth Town is our next destination, on the 0714 FGW departure, arriving at 0736 Friday morning

 

[Buttsy]

After breakfast and a look round the National Maritime Museum once it opens, we go outside to the bus stop and catch the 11:32 First bus service 41 to Pool, alighting opposite Cornwall College at 12:36 on Friday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time to explore the area for a short while before deciding to visit the Atlantic Coast side of the county so we board the 1328 First in Devon and Cornwall service 14 to Carbis Bay (Longstone Cross) that arrives there at 1416 on Friday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We continue by bus - Western Greyhound 547 this time - at 1435, tavelling to Hayle, Copperhouse Coop, arriving at 1447 on Friday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A change of omnibus operator sees us board the 1453 First in Devon and Cornwall service 14 to Chacewater (opposite the Kings Head) that arrives there at 1548 on Friday afternoon.

 

[dzug2]

We stay with First and continue on service 40 at 1556 to Redruth Station, arriving at 1622 Friday afternoon

 

[Rich McLean]

At redruth, its time to take a trip across the Tamar. So jump onboard the 1628 First Great Western Service to Plymouth, arriving at 18:00 on the dot, Friday Evening

 

[dzug2]

We have plenty of time to connect into the 1825 XC departure, on which we travel rapidly north east to Cheltenham Spa, arriving at 2115 Friday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time to have a hot drink and to find somewhere to freshen up before boarding the 2215 XC service to Birmingham New Street that arrives there at 2336 on Friday night.

 

[Rich McLean]

After an hour in the station, time to move on to my old Friday night stomping ground, as we catch the 00:35 London Midland Service to Wolverhampton, arriving at 01:03 on Saturday Morning.

 

[CallySleeper]

Friday night in Wolverhampton, beautiful... a sleepless night then onto 1D80, the 05:48 (Saturday) Virgin Voyager to Holyhead Caergybi.

 

[dzug2]

Deleted - taken to Holyhead while checking times for the opposite direction.

Do we have an arrival time in Mona's fair isle?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Not yet...I was just ready for a trip on the number 4 omnibus in Holyhead ...

 

[Rich McLean]

[CallySleeper]

The 05:48 arrives in Holyhead at 08:23 Saturday Morning

Sorry!

 

[dzug2]

Well I was trying to head east, so here's another possibly vain attempt at that - the 0920 ATW service to Birmingham International arriving at 1350 Saturday afternoon
