We're at Clarbeston Road 2348; I guess your pages haven't refreshed as the exact same thing happened to me before I made my move and thought we were still at Swansea

Indeed that looks to be the case. I have struck-through my posting, did not pass GO, gone straight to jail and did not collect the £200...We're at Clarbeston Road 2348; I guess your pages haven't refreshed as the exact same thing happened to me before I made my move and thought we were still at Swansea
Refreshed by the overnight stay in clink, we make our way to the station and showing a clear signal to the driver, we board the 0520 Transport for Wales service to Milford Haven that arrives there at 0552 on Tuesday morning.

No problem!
Interestingly the train only gets a 2 minute turn around at Milford Haven so we wait for the 0702 Transport for Wales service to Crewe arriving at 1227 on Tuesday afternoon.

Mindful of the 10 minute minimum connection time that applies at this large station, we next board the 1248 Northern Trains service to Goostrey that arrives there at 1303 on Tuesday afternoon.

I thought that being at Cheadle Hulme, it would have offered a different line to use.
We next board the 1458 Northern Trains service to Hazel Grove that arrives there at 1510 on Tuesday afternoon.

At this time in the evening in Ashbourne, options and operating services suddenly take a turn for the worse, so we resign to wait for the 2015 trentbarton Swift service to Markeaton (the bus stop adjacent to Merchant Street on Ashbourne Road) that arrives there at 2040 on Tuesday evening.
We’ve hit a grey area here. The next service from this stop is essentially a works contract for a factory, however all the timetable data is public online, including on bustimes, and nowhere does it explicitly state that it’s for workers only. How do we proceed with this? Is it a no-go for this game?

Which service are you looking at? It’ll depend on how the route is registered with the Traffic Commissioner’s office.

I’ve been advised via Private Message that we remain referring to the Swift service operated by Trent Barton. The only registration showing with the TC for this route is as ‘normal stopping’ therefore all services are accessible by the public (rather than closed door, or private contract work).
Sorry for not replying sooner. I was referring to Route 2 from Moy Park, ran by Notts & Derby. It looks to me as if it’s a closed door service so I’ll continue where we left off
As there are no other services from this stop we have no choice but to take the next Swift service at 22:40, dropping us off at Derby Bus Station at 22:45 on Tuesday evening

Just to come back on this it would seem its registered as normal so could have been used.

Let's escape the midlands by boarding Cross Country's 1E38 at 0749. We alight at Durham at 0931 on Wednesday.

We take the 0955 Cross Country service to Totnes arriving there at 1621 on Thursday.

I think the quiz day of the week is still Wednesday, unless that Cross Country service has taken over 30 hours to travel from Durham to Totnes

Heading out to Totnes station forecourt (stop A) we await the 1705 journey on service 164. We alight at Kingsbridge, Bus Station at 1736 on Wednesday.

Simply pointing out the error would be sufficient as I don't believe there is a quiz process to take into account delays.

We take the 1825 Stagecoach South West service 3 to Plymouth, Royal Parade arriving at 1935 on Wednesday.

Agreed, it is a little obvious it was the wrong day in question and that it did not take 30 hours to get from Durham.
We next board the 1945 Plymouth Citybus Spark service 21A to Keyham (HMS Drake), arriving there at 2000 on Wednesday evening.
