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

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

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.

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

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.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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