HALT CALLED

Surely a new leg cannot be called at Scotscalder, as the previously and existing leg still has options open to continue.

 

[Esker-pades]

@TimSYoung40145 : Your original post of Aviemore was valid. Trains run non-stop Inverness to Aviemore often.

@Paul Sidorczuk : As both Inverness and Aviemore were posted previously in the leg, there is no option to continue from Carrbridge.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

@Paul Sidorczuk : As both Inverness and Aviemore have both been posted, there is no other option to continue from Carrbridge.

My query concerned the posting that wanted to start a new leg at Scotscalder a few postings ago. I have sent a PM to you.

 

[Esker-pades]

I do not believe that a new leg has been posted in error.

The sequence of valid posts in the previous leg are:
#141328: Inverness
#141329: Aviemore
#141330: Carrbridge

The only options from Carrbridge are either southbound to Aviemore or northbound to Inverness. As both of these stations have been played in the leg, one cannot continue play from Carrbridge.

User @TimSYoung40145 struckthrough his post of Aviemore in error.

I didn't strike through my post of Aviemore in error, I had a Senior Moment thinking it was the next station after Inverness when it wasn't.

I didn't strike through my post of Aviemore in error, I had a Senior Moment thinking it was the next station after Inverness when it wasn't.

But trains run directly between Inverness and Aviemore (without stopping at Carrbridge) meaning that the post is valid.

Not being a regular visitor to this area, I have no idea of the calling pattern, glad you know what they are, therefore we continue from Scotscalder

Dunrobin Castle

 

[A Challenge]

According to the Scotrail timetable Dunrobin Castle is still open (until the 28th October), but it is skipped by the 06:18 from Thurso, so is still valid, as is Dunrobin Castle.

 

[Whistler40145]

Have struck through my post of Golspie

 

[Whistler40145]

Golspie

 

[A Challenge]

The original Golspie was still valid, as as I said it is skipped by 1 train on Monday to Saturday.

ADJUDICATION

1 train per day runs non-stop from Brora to Golspie, the 06:18 Wick to Inverness. Therefore post #141346 is valid.
#141347 (Dunrobin Castle) is also valid.

There are no other moves available from Dunrobin Castle. Therefore, that is a win for @A Challenge .

 

[Whistler40145]

Oh dam it

 

[Esker-pades]

Oh dam it

Yeah, sorry. The Highlands can throw up some weird skip-stop patterns. I travel semi-regularly in the area, so I'm reasonably comfortable with the weirdness.

Good to see three of the quiz adjudicators on the quiz this morning.....
