And then to Cleethorpes on 1B70 at 1016 with First TransPennine arriving at 1150 on Monday, after a good old shop in Meadowhall.

Not long to hope over to 1V64, which is CrossCountry's 1654 service to Birmingham New Street, which arrives there at 1807 on Monday evening.

I am assured that the BT engineers would have the problem cleared by midnight, so having been off-line since 1935 last night, I will see if things have improved.

We do not have all that long to wait for the next onward connection, which is the 0553 Southern service to Fratton that arrives there at 0705 on Tuesday morning.

We then head straight to the capital on 1P20, which is the 0722 London Waterloo service operated by South West Trains, arriving into London at 0855 on Tuesday morning.

We then realize we probably haven't been on a boat yet on our weeks-long excursion, so we take the 10.01 SWT service straight back to Putney, arriving 10.22 Tuesday, and amble over to the riverbus pier.

You must use a real timetabled public transport service although this can be train, bus, London Underground, tram or other light rail. No cars, taxis, motorbikes, planes or helicopters.

There is no mention of any water-borne method of public transport service shown in this abstract from the rules of the quiz, so I am unsure of its validity.

We spend some time at the riverside, before returning to the station where we board the 1131 SWT service to Whitton that arrives at 1150 on Tuesday morning.

I was under the impression that it would be valid so long as we didn't leave the main part of the British Isles; however...

We then decide we'd like to check the bus route out and so we use route H22 from Whitton to Richmond station, departing at 1206 and arriving at 1242 on Tuesday afternoon.

We then continue on London Buses and take the number 190 operated by Metroline departing Richmond station at 1255 and we head to West Brompton, at the Empress State Building stop at 1340 on Tuesday afternoon.

That is the reason why I looked again at the rules, but the only clarification in them was the extract from the rules that I posted in my previous post.

As far as I am concerned, you can only play to the rules that are as printed in the first posting.

Caterham is a terminal station so it is "end of the line" for rail travel (excuse the pun) and we walk the very short walk outside the station to the bus stop on Station Avenue, where we board the Metrobus service 400 to Gatwick Airport that arrives at the South Terminal at 1704 on Tuesday afternoon.

Ferries are fine as long as they are timetabled public transport services and they don't leave the island of Great Britain.
