We then take the 1340 Stagecoach South West service 66 to Newton Abbot Railway Station that arrives there at 1352 on Tuesday afternoon.

I note that you had amended your posting from arriving at Sherborne Road to arriving at the railway station, whilst I was carefully crafting a carefully constructed bus journey from Sherborne Road to Buckfast Abbey. It is lucky that I did not make my posting...:roll:<(

Continuing westwards, we then board the 1030 National Express service 100 to Swansea bus station that arrives there at 1130 on Wednesday morning.

Not that it makes a difference at all but the 100 is operated by First, not National Express :)

We then board the 1205 NX route 508 to London, Victoria Coach Station, arriving at 1700 on a Wednesday afternoon.

It's taking me a really long time to decide where to go next, with so many options available!

We then make our way to Victoria railway station and board 2S50, the 1737 Southern service to Sutton, arriving there at 1828 on Wednesday evening.

I see what has occurred here. Traveline Wales show the operator as being that of First (National Coach Services) which my tired eyes misconstrued as the coach company known as National Express. My posting has now been suitably amended.

Ah I see :) as I said it didn't matter because the service you chose was still an existing valid one.

Whoops, I read it as from Watford. Also if people are writing a post out could they 'reserve' a post and edit after. Just to try and prevent people getting beaten to things.

Now we take the 0136 FCC service to St Pancreas arriving at 01:54 Thursday morning.

My recent posting # 691 made the same point, where I had noted the arrival point of the previous posting and crafted what I had hoped to be a good follow-up posting and for some reason, I decided to take a look at the previous posting....only to find the arrival point had been changed, so I did therefore not post what would have looked a silly posting, as mine would have no relation whatsoever to the amended arrival point.

RULES...Additional Notes

  • If a move is discovered to be incorrect then the original post should be struck through and the correction made as a new post.

I think that this extract from the quiz rules is quite self-explanatory.

I think that you have fallen foul of the minimum 5-minute connection requirements.....0242 arrival and 0245 departure.

Grrrr :-x
