HALT CALLED

The setter of new leg has to wait for 15 minutes or for three postings to be made. Have a look at the times of the first three postings made on this very short leg.

Oddly enough, Tim sent me a PM about this, but he then followed on to my posting anyway. Seeing as he chose to disregard it, maybe so should we.

We've managed to get all the way to Reading, which is where we are now.

Oops sorry[emoji23]
Well, it's all in the past now. I edited my comment to just a simple 'deleted - too early' but then reinstated it after noticing your posting of Barnham.

Can't we just continue just this once? We've travelled a distance of 91 miles 14 chains already on this leg.

The sequence of events are as follows:-

1144 backontrack starts a new leg with Winchester
1146 TimsYoung40145 responds with Basingstoke
1147 backontrack claims the win (not complying with the rules about leg-winners) with Micheldever.....then starts a new leg at Chichester

Remember, we can't change past legs once we've started a new one.

My response is whilst nothing can normally be done after a leg has been completed, this does NOT apply to a leg of three postings where the rules have been infringed.

Therefore, my adjudication is that the three postings leg ONLY should all be struck-through and the current leg commencing with Chichester should be allowed to stand.

The current leg continues from this posting.

Just out of interest, will I still be able to claim those three points?

I'd say not. Other people might go actively abuse this loophole otherwise (in the future).

Cholsey?

I think Didcot wasn't valid, as I can't find any services on RTT right now that pass Cholsey from Goring to Didcot.
If correct, I'll have to delete Cholsey as well.

Tim; Cholsey still isn't played. I can't play it direct from Goring, as that was another post of mine. So your Didcot still doesn't work ;)

Appleford, Culham, Radley, Oxford and Swindon are all valid from this station. This is due to the varied stopping pattern of London-Pxford-Banbury services.
