The Transport Game

[Zoe]

I agree, not intentional, however.

What wasn't intentional?

We then check into a nearby hotel and then the next day we walk to High Street (opposite Boots) and embark on an absolutely WHOPPER of a journey, as we catch the 0623 First Norfolk & Suffolk route X1 to Peterborough (Rail Station), arriving there at 1029 on Tuesday morning.

From Peterborough we board the 1052 Cross Country service to Nuneaton arriving at 12:07 on Tuesday.

There's no valid move from Nuneaton to Lincoln, we are still at Nuneaton at 12:07 on Tuesday.

My move was played from Paul's Posting. I see why now though.

We then board the 12:52 XC service to Stansted Ariport arriving there at 15:40 (amazingly is quicker to go Down to euston and across.) Tuesday Afternoon

Changing TOC, we board the 1600 GA service to Tottenham Hale that arrives at 1633 on Tuesday afternoon.

What wasn't intentional?

For there not seeming to be many options about travelling out of Gorleston, or many other towns we've recently covered in Norfolk, without going back on the same route. It's been interesting though, as I don't think we've covered that area that much on the quiz.

Changing TOC, we board the 1600 GA service to Tottenham Hale that arrives at 1633 on Tuesday afternoon.

We then board the number 41 bus operated by Arriva London at 1651 to Crouch End Broadway, arriving there at 1724 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We now board the 1732 Route End service W7 to Finsbury Park underground station that arrives there at 1744 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

Realising a 1 Minute transfer was never going to be achieved, we board the 18:13 Piccadilly Line service to Heathrow Terminal 4 arriving there at 19:19 Tuesday Evening

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 2000 American Airways flight AA6146 to New York, arriving there at 0340 on Wednesday morning but then you put the clock back five hours to 2240

I joke. Hehehe.

We then board the number X26 bus operated by Quality Line at 1935 to Sutton (Police Station), arriving there exactly an hour later at 2035 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Trainfan344]

^you only did that because you forgot your passport. XD

We make it to the railway station and board the 20:42 FCC service to St Albans arriving there at 22:01 Tuesday Evening

Ha!

We make it to the railway station and board the 20:42 FCC service to St Albans arriving there at 22:01 Tuesday Evening

We then board 2T75, the 2231 First Capital Connect service to Brighton, arriving there at 0019 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We make ourselves as comfortable as possible before we board the 0514 SN service to Swanwick that arrives at 0643 on Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board 2E05, the 0649 South West Trains service to Portsmouth & Southsea, arriving there at 0722 on Wednesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We seek and find somewhere to have a cooked breakfast (with all the trimmings) to sustain us in our never-ending journey, before returning to the railway station, where we board the 0827 FGW service to Filton Abbey Wood that arrives there at 1101 on Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then walk around the corner to the King George VI pub and board the number 74 bus operated by First Bristol (a bus I use regularly) at 1127 to Bradley Stoke (Willowbrook Centre), arriving there at 1151 on Wednesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Just an extremely short bus journey next as we board the 1207 Wessex Connect service 13 to Little Stoke (Bourton Avenue) that arrives there at 1211 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then walk around the corner to the Kingsway Roundabout and board the number 18 bus operated by First Bristol (another bus I use regularly) at 1233 to Emersons Green (Sainsbury's), arriving there at 1312 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Once again, I sense the feeling of high educational deja vu entering into the journeys....

We next board the 1333 First in Bristol, Bath and The West service 49 to Eastville (Robertson Road) that arrives there at 1405 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I love First Bristol! I think their prices are a bloody rip-off, but apart from that, their service is excellent!

We then walk around the corner to the Eastgate Centre and board the number 5 bus, again operated by First Bristol, at 1410 to Downend (The Horseshoe), arriving there at 1433 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

We then board First Bristol service 4 at 16:40 to Bristol (Center, Rupert Street) arriving there at 17:26 Wenesday Afternoon

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board First Bristol service 4 at 16:40 to Bristol (Center, Rupert Street) arriving there at 16:56 Wenesday Afternoon

The 1640 from Downend arrives at the Centre in Rupert Street at 1726, not 1656; I think you may have crossed this with the service beforehand :P

 

[Trainfan344]

Yes, we were on board the 16:40, arriving 17:26 sorry.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Yes, we were on board the 16:40, arriving 17:26 sorry.

No problem!

We then board the number 54 bus, once again operated by First Bristol, at 1733 to Southmead (Arnside Road), arriving there at 1808 on Wednesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Some time to wait before we next board the 1825 First in Bristol, Bath and The West service 54 to Stockwood (The Coots) that arrives there at 1927 on Wednesday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Stockwood isn't the most exotic place to be on a Wednesday (I've been stranded there!), so we then catch the 54 again at 2003 to Blackboy Hill, arriving there at 2041 on Wednesday evening.

Can I clarify a matter please. You show the arrival of this posting as being Blackboy Hill. I am finding a perusal of my large scale map of that area is not revealing such a settlement named as such and even the small hamlets are shown on this map.

Would you have been meaning to show the arrival point as being...

Redland, Black Boy Hill

It would be best if the actual stop names were used rather than common names which people outside of the area may not be familiar with.

We continue by boarding the 2059 First in Bristol, Bath and the West bus route 8 service to Temple Meads arriving at 2123 on Wednesday.

 

[dzug2]

We catch the 2211 FGW service to Cam and Dursley, arriving at 2244 Wednesday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Transport onward options here are now all finished, so we make ourselves as comfortable as possible and awake with the birdsong, walk from the railway station to Draycott Business Park where eventually, after what seems like a lifetime, we board the 0639 Stagecoach in Gloucester service 91 to Gloucester bus station that arrives there at 0721 on Thursday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We stay on the bus station for Veolia's 351 service west of the Severn at 0815 to Tewkesbury opp Boots arriving at 0903 Thursday morning
