HOLD:

I'm not sure if this is forwards or backwards in time, but anyway between these two moves we seem to have jumped from Monday to Saturday!? I'm not quite sure how to continue from here?

I think we need to return to Cardiff Central at 16:50 on Monday, and kindly ask for posts to be in English so as not to cause this kind of distraction.

It's okay, as the timetable isn't too dissimilar on a Saturday anyways.

 

[Andy Pacer]

It's okay, as the timetable isn't too dissimilar on a Saturday anyways.

But do all the subsequent moves work on a Monday rather than a Saturday?

 

[DanTrain]

But do all the subsequent moves work on a Monday rather than a Saturday?

I think it would be easier to just assume they do and move on. My latest one is certaintly only a few mins out on Saturday.
