Heading across to the bus stop opposite the very busy Brentry Roundabout in Henbury, we then board the 2038 First Bristol service 4 (previously the 40 up until as recent as Sunday) to Sea Mills (Cedar Park), arriving there at 2101 on Tuesday evening.

We make an about turn and wait for the same First Bristol number 4 bus, arriving at 2201. The bus deposits us outside Clifton Down Station at 2212 on Tuesday night.

We have recently dis-allowed another player's walk of 0.8 miles in Manchester city centre. The quiz rules also give some guidance (in post #2) on when to "play on" - this is when more than 5 moves or 24 hours have elapsed. The objection here was raised in under 24 hours and 4 subsequent moves.
For consistency & fairness I think we should dis-allow the walk to Sea Mills Station and continue from Clifton Down.

Next we board the 2232 FGW train from Clifton Down to Bristol Temple Meads arriving at 2253 Tuesday evening.

We then board the 2321 First Bristol service 51 to Hengrove (The Boulevard), arriving there at 2344 on Tuesday evening.

Do the four affected postings from the latest query now all need to be struck through....or not?

I have struck-through the one that I made

Ideally they should be struck through for completeness, so long as there is general agreement with our course of action and no appeal (which seems to be the case here, so I edited my post).
In reality I suspect many participants will be just focussed on the here & now so it will not generally be a priority to go back and do this.


Luckily for us the Bristol area is provided with good late-night transport, so be board the 0001 First in BB&W service 75 to Bedminster (Bedminster Parade) arriving at 0023 Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I'm trying to mix things up a little by using a different bus company, but First seem to be the only operator at this hour, so we board the 0049 First Bristol service 76 to Horfield (Nevil Road), arriving there at 0109 in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

 

[Springs Branch]

It's a 0.4 mile walk to the Kennington Avenue bus stop on Ashley Down Road. Here we wait for the 0214 First in Bristol service 70 back to the city centre, arriving at Broadmead / The Haymarket at 0224 Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We're still stuck with First, this time on the 0302 number 43 to Kingswood (Kings Chase Centre), arriving there at 0321 on Wednesday morning.

 

[Springs Branch]

Not a great deal of choice at half-past-three in the morning on a weekday, but at least there is one bus available, the 0330 First in Bristol service 43 back to Bristol city centre (Broadmead/Bond Street, stop rc) arriving 0349 Wednesday morning.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the seven-minute walk to the bus stop on Circuit Lane where we next board the 0616 Reading Buses Jet Black Bus service 1 to Newbury bus station that arrives there at 0715 on Wednesday morning.

Unless we want to go to the middle of nowhere in town or back to Reading, there's not that many interesting buses to go on from here. So we take the short walk to the railway station and from there we catch the next service heading away from London... which happens to be the 0749 First Great Western service to Penzance, where shall we get off though? Let's try Plymouth station, arriving at 1033 on Wednesday morning.

We now decide to try one of the branch lines, so we board the 10:54 FGW service, alighting at Calstock at 11:27

I ever thought of that! A nice coincidence!

A short, but not too long, wait for a train to arrive, terminate, allow us to board before heading back to where it came from...

[Springs Branch]

We've arrived on the last train of the day so make the 0.5 mile walk to Pontefract Bus Station. All the buses seem to have stopped too, so we call it a night.

The next morning we board the 0600 Arriva Yorkshire service 410, alighting at Glasshoughton Station at 0607 Thursday morning.
