We find out that Portsmouth & Southsea station is right next to Victoria Park, so we then board 2S70, the 1559 Southern service to Chichester, arriving there at 1637 on Tuesday afternoon.
The station is right next to the park but the bus stop in question is on at the other end of the park so this doesn't count as a stop serving the rail station. You will have to continue by bus from one of the Victoria Park bus stops. We remain at Portsmouth (Victoria Park) at 1534 on Tuesday with DanTrainMain185 has priority to post the next move until 2200 after which time it becomes open floor.

Not that I can see anything wrong with it, but I haven't got time to rectify it, so open floor.

I honestly think this game is far more complicated than it needs to be....

Brighton and Hove Buses operate an excellent and frequent service at all times of the day, which I have had the pleasure of using in the past since I was very young and continue to do so to the present day, so we continue through the night and board the 7 service at 2246 to the Marina Village, arriving there at 2304 on Tuesday evening.

Another Brighton and Hove service, the 23, takes us at 2338 on a trip round the university, landing up at Falmer, at Brighton University, Falmer, where we arrive at 0016 on Wednesday morning

I fear we are into an allnighter travelling back and forth

Unfortunately, this does not comply with the minimum connection time of seven minutes at Cardiff Central.
Indeed, minimum connection times are availabe at http://brtimes.com. We remain at Cardiff Central at 1141 on Wednesday with backontrack having priority to post the next move until 2200 after which time it becomes open floor.

We board the 15:51 to Redditch, disembarking at Duddeston.

Don't forget to state the operator of the service, the time it arrives and what day you're travelling on, as this make it easier for the next player :)

We then board 2W42, the 1621 London Midland service to Wolverhampton, arriving there at 1704 on Wednesday afternoon.
