Gameplay

The Aim of the game is to travel around the country using public transport in a pseudo-realistic fashion. To play, you must depart from the station or stop where the previous post arrived using a permitted timetabled public transport service. Having arrived at the destination, the minimum connection time for the station or stop must be allowed for. Where this is not published, a minimum interchange time is considered to be five minutes. In your post you should clearly state the time your service departs, the company who's service you are using and the time and day of arrival at your chosen destination.

It would seem so

 

[InterCity:125]

We haven’t followed that rule too precisely in the time I’ve been playing the game...

Hold on a moment.

We'll have to get the 0525 service from Paddington to Heathrow arriving at 0540, as the minimum connection time at Paddington is fifteen minutes. Double check brtimes.com for the minimum connection times at large stations.

 

[InterCity:125]

And then perhaps we could re-instate your X26 on the 0600 departure?

I'd love to, but I can't make consecutive posts.

 

[InterCity:125]

Well the Heathrow express post was just a correction to post #16340

 

[Esker-pades]

I'd still rather not go next. I don't mind who does or where it takes us. I forfit any control (not that I had any in the first place).
