Interesting, thanks! I like how Inverness gets a blob and yet Hull doesn't...and Cardiff is unsurprisingly big too (whenever we go there we never seem to be able to leave!)
You're welcome :) For me, one of the attractions of this game is reaching rural areas and remote settlements with sparse services; Inverness is the transport hub of the Highlands so it's a great place to go to in that regard.
We walk for 7 minutes to Rye station where we board the 20:47 Southern service to Ashford International, arriving there at 21:09 on a Monday.
Then we board the 21:32 southeastern rail service to Headcorn, arriving there at 21:45 on Monday evening.

Your service looks more fun, but I'm afraid I didn't see it and took us to St Pancakes instead!

We then board the 00:08 East Midlands Trains service 1D91 to Beeston, arriving at 01:33 Tuesday morning.
We then get the first service the next morning, the 06:06 Crosscountry service 1V03 to University, arriving at 07:35 Tuesday moring.

That would have been fun. Not that I imagine there are many people awake on the service we've just boarded either :lol:.
Though people must be used to Nottingham being the last station and wondering how they've ended up in Derby when they wake up - I'm sure it went to Nottingham... :lol:

Ah, the East Midlands sleeper. I adore the upgraded Class 222 coaches with their fresh upholstery as the train whisks you to such exotic locales as East Midlands Parkway... :D

Next stop will be Matlock Bath, leaving Beeston at 06:24 on Tuesday morning with the help of East Midlands Trains and arriving at our destination at 07:21.

Holy mother of Andy Murray! Sniped again! :lol:

Sorry, piped again! Blink and you find yourself on the other side of the country in this game :lol:

The thing about Victoria Coach station is it must be one of the places you can go to the most places (as London has loads of main stations, but almost all goes to the coach station)

We then get the 23:23 Transp[ort for Wales service 1J31 to Aberystwyth, arriving at 23:35 Tuesday evening.

4 of my last 5 moves have now been struck through. What I didn't expect was for my last one to be a replica of someone else's!

Next, we board the 23:48 Transport for Wales rail service to Cyffordd Dyfi Junction | Dovey Junction, arriving there at 23:58 on Tuesday evening.

We then spend a very cold night on the platform here before boarding the 05:13 Transport for Wales service 2J00 to Barmouth, arriving at 06:04 Wednesday morning.

Out of my past six moves on this game, I've avoided being pipped to the post only once!

We decide to call it a day. In the morning, we board the 05:30 Transport for Wales rail service to Cyffordd Dyfi Junction | Dovey Junction, arriving there at 05:53 on Wednesday morning.
Why have you crossed out your last move, there was nothing wrong with it?
