we then take Arrive Trains Wales service 2B21 at 2143 as far as Cardiff Central where we arrive at 0050 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

That's it for the rest of the night, so we head to Customhouse Street and board the 0430 Cardiff Bus service 57 to Pontprennau (Asda), arriving there at 0459 on Monday morning.

 

[kevconnor]

we next take New Adventure Travel X1 service at 0558 as far as St David's Hospital, Cowbridge Road East, Pontcanna where we arrive at 0634 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0653 Cardiff Bus service 61 to Pentrebane (Firs Avenue/Willowdale Road outside The Leather Bottle), arriving there at 0710 on Monday morning.

 

[kevconnor]

We take the 0.5 mile (10 minute) walk to the stop at The Fairwater (SE-bound) and board New Adventure Travel service 320 at 0825 as far as Hensol Castle where we arrive at 0853 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Halt

It turns out the Jug & Bottle is now called The Leather Bottle. The stop that I took us too is now called Willowdale Road however that is almost a mile away from the Fairwater so unfortunately that walk is too far.

I will shortly edit my post.

 

[kevconnor]

This is then our last point

Sorry, I should have noticed as this area is literally ten minutes away from where I live but Cardiff Bus haven't updated the timetable for the 61 yet!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Would it help if I moved us elsewhere

We next board the 0720 Cardiff Bus 61 to Canton (Wyndham Crescent/Kings Road) that arrives there at 0743 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Thank you Paul.

We then board the 0856 Cardiff Bus service 65 to University Hospital of Wales (Ty Maeth), arriving there at 0945 on Monday morning.

 

[kevconnor]

From Heath (Cardiff), Ty Maeth we take Cardiff Bus service 95 at 0950 as far as Cardiff, Customhouse Street (Stop JL) where we arrive at 10:08 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1023 Cardiff Bus service 30 to Rumney (Carpenters Arms), arriving there at 1046 on Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A tad confusing to those of us not in the know, but some seem to refer to Rumney and others to Llanrumney.

We next board the 1054 Cardiff Bus service 45 to St Mellons (Police station on Crickhowell Road) that arrives there at 1110 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Despite the similarities in their name, Rumney and Llanrumney are different places. The Carpenters Arms is in fact in Rumney, despite Cardiff Bus saying it's in Llanrumney. Llanrumney is further northwards. Hope this helps.

Making use of a service that was only introduced last Monday (13th), we then board the 1122 Cardiff Bus service X45 to Penylan (Colchester Avenue Bottom), arriving there at 1140 on Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We decide to return to the city area and board the 1240 Cardiff Bus service X45 to Cardiff (Stop HM on Churchill Way) that arrives there at 1254 on Monday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

There are much earlier services along Newport Road, the 30, 44, 45, 49, 50, X11 and X59 all run along.

We then board the 1315 Cardiff Bus service 36 to Gabalfa (Interchange), arriving there at 1325 on Monday afternoon.

Please be so kind as to delete your posting of the journey above, as based on the kind information stated in the preamble to your posting.

I have decided to strike through my posting as I do not wish to be the cause of any upset over non-conformity to the rules of this quiz.

 

[backontrack]

No Paul, don't! Your posting is still valid, so you should be able to keep it.

This is the last correctly made posting, from which the quiz should be continued.

OK!

Wishing to return to the city centre, we board the 12:40 Cardiff Bus service X45 and ride it all the way to Cardiff (Stop HM on Churchill Way). It arrives there at 12:54 on Monday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Guys what are you doing? We're at Gabalfa.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Not so. I confirmed that my posting had been struck-through as a result of some information submitted that showed that the time that I had waited for the following X45 bus towards Cardiff was one in which many other earlier bus connections were possible.

Yes but that was a reminder and I continued with my next move.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

As my posting had been struck-through and you had made the posting prior to it, if you then made a following posting after my struck-through posting, would that not mean that you had made two successive postings, hence my posting request that you strike through the posting made after mine.

I'll make the next move if this is the last legal move.

A short 5 minute walk takes us onto Melrose Avenue bus stop (a distance of 375 meters), where we board the 12:01 bus to Cardiff (Philharmonic, St Mary Street) (Stop NC) arriving there at 12:20 Monday Afternoon

Yes but the point I'm trying to make is that your post did not need to be struck through, my note was just a reminder and as I continued with the next move (36) after yours (X45), it's clear there wasn't a problem otherwise I wouldn't have placed the next move.

I've noticed that if ever you make a mistake you always seem to cross it out and strike through. Don't feel as if you can't play on! It's as if you're doing the 'game of shame'! You're more than welcome to just cross it out and make a new move! Crikey if I did that with all the mistakes I make with the days of the week we wouldn't get anywhere!
