Going From A to A without going through the same station twice.

[Neilandrewhall]

* Changing the Thread Description *

The Rules Are:
* You MUST start out at a NATIONAL RAIL Or a STENA LINE Station..
* You have to get back to that station without going through the same station twice.
* No Reversals are allowed
* If the Station has TWO station's e.g. St Pancras HS1 And Low Level this count's as two stations.

Hopefully That's easier for you guys

[Neilandrewhall]

You cant reverse seeming as your hitting same station twice :P

 

[MCR247]

Is it? How do you hit the same station twice? Anyway I suppose its your quiz

As your going through it.. Just Ignore me :P lol

 

[MCR247]

Do reversals count if it is a direct service? Anyway, this is my new route, but I don't know if it counts :?

Nottingham - Worksop - Retford - Edinburgh - Fife Circle - Dalmeny - Glasgow Queen Street - Glasgow Central - GSW Line -Carlisle - Lancaster - Preston - Manchester Pic - Wilmslow - Crewe - Hereford - Worcester - Birmingham New Street - Bristol Temple Meads - Exeter St Davids- Salisbury - Southampton - Brighton - East Croydon - London St Pancras - Bedford - Corby - Loughbrough - Nottingham

 

[37 418]

Ok how about:

Inverness > Stirling > Camelon > Cumbernauld > Motherwell > Carlisle > Birmingham New St > Exeter St Davids > Salisbury > Southampton Central >
Havant > Horsham > Sutton > Tulse Hill > Peckham Rye > Orpington > Sevenoaks > Dover Priory > Ramsgate > Gillingham > Waterloo East > London Waterloo > Richmond [via Clapham Jn, Weybridge] > Highbury & Islington > Finsbury Park > Stevenage >Cambridge > Peterborough > Aberdeen > Inverness

 

[90019]

Edinburgh - Fife Circle - Dalmeny

You'd pass through Inverkeithing and North Queensferry twice.

Like it

 

[MCR247]

Thats a shame, I forgot about that. I'd just have to do the Edinburgh - Dalmeny bit then

 

[bengley]

Edgware road - Edgware road

 

[Neilandrewhall]

Edgware road - Edgware road

Circle line :P

Haha

 

[Bedpan]

Ok how about:

Inverness > Stirling > Camelon > Cumbernauld > Motherwell > Carlisle > Birmingham New St > Exeter St Davids > Salisbury > Southampton Central >
Havant > Horsham > Sutton > Tulse Hill > Peckham Rye > Orpington > Sevenoaks > Dover Priory > Ramsgate > Gillingham > Waterloo East > London Waterloo > Richmond [via Clapham Jn, Weybridge] > Highbury & Islington > Finsbury Park > Stevenage >Cambridge > Peterborough > Aberdeen > Inverness

Best so far, I particularly like the incursion into London, although to expand it further you could do Tulse Hill an > Brighton > Ashford > Dover , and instead of getting off at Highbury and Islington you could stay on the train to Stratford, then Ipswich>Lowestoft> Norwich> Peterborough, and then divert off to the east on the way to Newcastle.

How long would it all take? Could be the basis for a trip on an All Line Rover!
