The Transport Game

WAIT, Dzug2 Edited his post, instead of posting a new reply.

That's fine. It's still a valid move, just leaving to go to the same destination.

TP

 

[Trainfan344]

No, I posted my move from Ipswich at 17:38, Dzug2 edited his post at 17:39.

There's no requirement to do that in this game. This isn't "the next station is."

 

[Trainfan344]

Yes, but I had already posted a new move which now classes with his move, so what are we to do now.

 

[transportphoto]

His initial posting (now slashed through) was there prior to yours, he has simply brought forward the travel time as another method came to his attention. Lets continue?

We were at Stansted Airport (Bus Station) where we took the 0440 EasyBus.co.uk service to Central London, near Baker Street Underground, arriving there 0540 Sunday Morning.

 

[Zoe]

Yes, but I had already posted a new move which now classes with his move, so what are we to do now.

His original move was posted first in response to Paul's. No HOLD was called on this and his post was the edited, making it valid.

Actually, It was meant to follow on from me, as the 133 is from Colchester railway station, not ipswich.

I bring your attention to this website: http://www.stanstedairport.com/transport-and-directions/buses-and-coaches

Local buses:Airport by Bus 133: Colchester Bus Station, Colchester North Station, Marks Tey, and Braintree Bus Park, Felsted, Dunmow and Takeley

so this couldn't have been a response to Pauls posting.

A difficult one - my 1739 edit was just formatting the National Express journey to Stansted correctly - I'd already put it there a minute or so previously

Don't mind where we are - though I'd be a bit miffed to have been overtaken twice.....

My 133 journey was pipped at the post by Paul.

So I edited it to try again from Ipswich, following on from his posting

 

[Trainfan344]

And I would be a bit miffed to be overtaken by someone editing.

 

[Zoe]

HOLDING while I clarfity this.

Shall we just continue from Baker Street?

Previously in the event of an incorrect post, a HOLD has been called and the original poster given the opportunity to edit. I believe this is the best course of action here and dzug has taken the opportunity to edit the post making his move valid and so the post by Trainfan is void.

Shall we just continue from Baker Street?

As per my post above, this is indeed where we will RESUME from. Tranfan's post is void.

 

[Trainfan344]

Can your adjudication be written into the rules for clarification in the future?

 

[transportphoto]

So to clarify, we're at Baker Street at 0540 Sunday morning having alighted the Easy Bus service from Stansted.

 

[Trainfan344]

We then board the 05:53 Stagecoach London 205 Service to Eldon Street/ Liverpool Street arriving there at 06:15 Sunday Morning

 

[Zoe]

Can your adjudication be written into the rules for clarification in the future?

Yes, I will do so. If you see something that you don't believe to be correct, please call HOLD HOLD HOLD to force a game hold and resulting discussion/adjudication and so prevent more posts getting declared void as a result of any adjudication. The game can only be resumed from a HOLD after I make an adjudication or if the person that called the HOLD removes it, having reached agreement on the issue the concerned them.

I have now clarified this in the rules.

 

[dzug2]

removed - been overtaken.

Hold not requested

I last posted on this thread at 1732 today on posting # 4047 and have only just returned to it now.

I am somewhat perplexed to find what has occurred in my absence from the thread since my last posting.

 

[Zoe]

Taking note of the minimum interchange time of 15 minutes here, we next board the 0630 Greater Anglia service to Romford arriving at 0656 on Sunday.

 

[Trainfan344]

Noting the next part of our journey will be made by Rail Replacement bus which departs at 07:00, so due to the minimum interchange time, we wait and board the 07:30 rail replacement bus arriving in Shenfield arriving there at 08:09 Sunday Morning

Head out to Bus Stop Z (Romford station) for the 0710 296 service to Ronden Street arriving there at 0739 Sunday morning.

Edit to clarify - Ronden Street being the one in the Borough of Islington, N7.

As per the rules, Trainfan has 1 hour to make a new submission. I'm going to be away for a bit so the game will RESUME upon a correct post by Trainfan or if no correct submission is made within 1 hour then consider the game resumed and Open floor.

A hold hadn't been called when I posted, infact I hadn't seen the postings I see you called hold at 1931, 3 mins after my posting. Trainfan, it's up to you!

Yes, sorry. This was simply a case of me forgetting to put the words HOLD HOLD HOLD in the post.

May I make one solitary exception to my now self-imposed exile from adjudication on this thread to make one final point which will be useful for contestants making following postings to a previous one...
When stating any arrival point by bus or coach in postings, the area as well as the road/street MUST be stated in postings in future.

 

[transportphoto]

I'm happy to let Trainfan to continue, at 2022, unless posting has been made by said user, we shall default to my posting which is:

According to the latest timetable, it is timetabled for a rail replacement bus, I have attached a copy of the timetable.

There was a spate of near simultaneous postings which led to confusion
