We make the walk to the railway station and then board the 12:15 Greater Anglia service to Ely arriving there at 13:01 Sunday Afternoon

Oh no we don't. The Cross is not the stop serving the railway station. We had this issue a few days ago, it was then clarified that you may only walk to a stop serving the same location. We remain at Wymondham adj Cross at 1143 on Sunday.

 

[Trainfan344]

Hang on, I was under the impression that it was fine, Unless the service you are on serves the next location, for instance, those comming into Lowestoft from Corton on the bus, will leave the bus at the Bus Station and then walk to the Railway Station, however, if you are on a bus which does serve the Railway station then you would leave at the stops serving the railway station. The last problem was the fact that the bus we were on served the station and that if you wanted the station, you would get off there and not at the supermarket.

I updated the rules after that incident to show you may only walk to the stop serving the same location. If the bus in question doesn't serve the location in question (the station in this case) then you can't change modes.

We see from the timetable that we could make a return towards Norwich, but decide to wait for the next bus the opposite way. We board the 12:43 First in Norfolk & Suffolk 13B service and alight at Attleborough (adj Queens Square), where the bus terminates, arriving 13:07 on Sunday afternoon

 

[Trainfan344]

Since we have to have 5 Minutes to change buses here, we miss the next bus by 2 minutes, and so are forced to wait until 14:10 to board the First bus service no 13B to Norwich (Castle Meadow) arriving there at 15:03 Sunday Afternoon.

1520 First in Norfolk and Suffolk 25A to University of East Anglia (Waveney Terrace) arriving there 1539 this Sunday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

Next, we board the 15:46 First in Norfolk and Suffolk 25 to Norwich (Rail Station, Forecourt) arriving there at 16:25 Sunday Afternoon

As I give you the death stare for trying to get us out of Norwich before taking a night's rough sleep in the bus shelter awaiting for Monday morning's 0536 Norwich Early Morning Circular to First Bus' Lansdowne Road Depot arriving there at 0600 Monday Morning.

Edit to prevent hold : This move is permitted as it is the first available direct service to the destination, the service operates once a day Monday - Saturday.

 

[Trainfan344]

I shall remember this then is this is a valid move, for example when we are at Euston railway station at 07:00 Saturday Morning, I will wait for the sleeper service the following day.

It is perfectly acceptable as long as there has been no other direct service to your destination, as "you must use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time" - or five minutes where the is not a minimum interchange time. Quote is sourced directly from post #1 under 'Waiting'.

HOLD HOLD HOLD, being called nonetheless....

May I re-enter this quiz from my current self imposed exile to enquire as the previous post to this one ended at 1625 on Sunday afternoon outside the forecourt of Norwich railway station, why was not advantage taken of any rail service from that time onwards on Sunday afternoon as there are a good number of available rail services available to use.

To stay in a bus shelter until 0536 on Monday morning when rail services are available on Sunday from Norwich railway station, is something that I intend to draw the attention of Zoe. the quiz-setter and adjudicator to.

 

[High Dyke]

Next, we board the 15:46 First in Norfolk and Suffolk 25 to Norwich (Rail Station, Forecourt) arriving there at 16:25 Sunday Afternoon

Just to be pedantic the service departs Waveney Terrace at 15:52.

Was there not an earlier departure anywhere?

 

[Zoe]

The quiz always used to say no excessive waiting but this wasn't officially defined. Rule edited to now state:

You must use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time. You may not wait more than two hours for a service to a specific destination if services to other destinations are available.

 

[transportphoto]

As it was permitted according to the rules at the time (and I did check), is my move valid? I would think that an unwritten rule is really unenforcable.

[Trainfan344]

Thank you Zoe, so I take it my posting was the last valid one meaning we are at Norwich (Rail Station, Forecourt) at 16:25 Sunday Afternoon

Since it was an error on my part, leaving out the statement out of the rules reformat then I'll let it go this time.

So we Resume with my posting which is:

See above, it was an error on my part leaving it out of the reformatted rules so I can't really void it this time.

HOLD HOLD HOLD

I can not find another service from the last location without a walk.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Can we have an Adjudication please?

 

[transportphoto]

Sorry, I didn't look into onwards from Lansdowne Road, I just knew about the early morning circular! I haven't ever been up there, nor had the need to research transport to / from! Shall we continue from a nearby stop? Is this the first move to require two adjudications?

TP

 

[Zoe]

Rules amended to cover this situation:

Should the previous move leave you at a the end of a route for which there are no services timetabled to depart from then you may walk to the nearest stop where services are available.

 

[Trainfan344]

In which case, we can Resume
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
According to traveline , the nearest bus stop is Adj, Old Q8 Garage (On Vulcan Road North) where we board the 07:30 First in Norfolk and Suffolk Service no 38 to Norwich (Castle Meadow Stand P) which arrives at 07:52 Monday Morning

Which arrives when?

Edited post now, 07:52 monday morning, My Mistake, trying to get us back moving.

 

[transportphoto]

Okay, we then take the 0838 Anglian Buses X47 service to Great Yarmouth (Southtown Road (for Yarmouth Coll)) arriving there at 0925 this Monday morning.

We also face up to the sad occasion of leaving Norwich...

TP

 

[Trainfan344]

We would move on straight away, but first we have a party and then board the 10:40 Anglian Buses service no 586 to Hemsby (Beach Road) Arriving there at 11:30 Monday Morning

 

[High Dyke]

We see no remaining part of the old Southtown station...so join the 09:34 Anglian Bus service 601 and alight at Normanston (adj Fire Station) arriving 10:04 on Monday

HOLD HOLD HOLD
The rules require that you take the first available transport to your destination after allowing for the connection time. It would seem that there are other buses available.

Are there? That is the first Anglian bus service on that route, I didn't know if there were any other buses which served the same place.
