Rules

• You may not re-board the service just used in the previous post
• You should use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
• You shouldn't wait for more than two hours after the first available service (to any destination) has left, after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
  
  • Night services in the UK can be quite limited, so when the previous move arrives at its destination after 2300 you are allowed to wait until 0500 the next day if you wish.
• You may walk up to about half a mile when changing modes to a stop in the vicinity, if you wish.
• The use of cars, taxis, planes or helicopters is not allowed.
• The playing area includes only mainland Great Britain. This includes any landmass connected to Great Britain by bridge or tunnel (excluding the Channel Tunnel). Domestic ferry services to outlying islands, such as the Isle of Wight and the Scottish Islands are also acceptable (with due regards to the note in the etiquette post below).

It might be an opportune time to show the second and third (emboldened) items in the rules of the quiz.

Unfortunately, you can only walk as far as 0.5 mi in this game - and you've just walked 0.8 mi. I'm afraid you'll have to make a new move...

Sorry, I can never get this game right (it was 0.8 downhill miles though )

In which case, we’ll take the 10:38 First South Yorks service 82 from Heather Lee Avenue to Arundel Gate, arriving 11:07 Thursday Morning
