Can I ask why, with other routing options available, that an immediate need to return back to East Grinstead was felt necessary?

I can't find anything in the rules or etiquette that would exclude this move.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1751 Metrobus Fastway service 10 to Bewbush (Breezehurst Drive East) that arrives there at 1804 on Wednesday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Paul, to be fair there weren't that many options from Upper Warlingham. If we were at say Manchester Piccadilly or Birmingham New Street then I'd understand that, but UWL isn't exactly Waterloo or Victoria

We then board the 1815 Metrobus service 10 to Gatwick Airport (North Terminal Bus Station), arriving there at 1847 on Wednesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

It does, however we had only been travelling between Cheltenham and Gloucester in the last post, so what would have been the point in returning back towards Gloucester again?

This game is about being creative Paul

In my defence, I took my stance from the comments expressed above by a highly respected forum member in posting # 6570.....especially the "creative" sentiments expressed in the final sentence.

 

[James Wake]

We next board the 1901 Metrobus Fastway route 100 to Northgate, opp Midgeley Road arriving at 1914 on Wednesday evening.

Nice to see the game ended up in a position where I could bring it home

 

[dzug2]

As far as I can make out the 100 is the only bus serving that particular stop, so we take the 1943 departure to Three Bridges Station arriving at 1956 Wednesday evening

Probably walkable in the time

 

[ValleyLines142]
