Hourly or more services only...

[Ivo]

South with XC to Caerdydd Canalog.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Trust Ivo to come up with one like this at this time of the morning..:roll:....However, to respond in like terms, I suggest....

By ATW Class 175 (well, one that might decide not to spontaneously combust, that is) from Caerdydd Canalog to Manceinion (Piccadilly)

 

[Ivo]

To Lerpwl Lime Street. AGAIN. How times have I made this move? It always used to be Bedford to somewhere to the north...

(This time, it's with NT.)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

After our Celtic sojourn, we look to a more localised service....

By Northern to Wigan North Western

 

[Ivo]

Sojourn indeed.

From Wigan to the not-so-distant location of Preston.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By First TPE to Bolton

 

[Ivo]

And on a local NT service to Salford Crescent.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By Northern to Daisy Hill

 

[Ivo]

Not for the first time, I shall take us with NT to my favourite seaside resort: Southport.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By Merseyrail to Sandhills

 

[Ivo]

And north to Kirkby. Back to or through Wigan again next?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By Northern to Hindley....which was once a four platform station and the station in "Hindle Wakes", the play written by Stanley Houghton in 1910 and from which four films were made in 1918/1927/1931/1952. Do I qualify for a bonus point for that..

 

[Ivo]

Not a clue :?

Back to Bolton with NT I guess...

Am off now; have a lesson at 9 (see one of the other threads; I forget which!) Goodnight

P.S.: Between the two of us, we must have made 40 of the last 50 posts hock:

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By First TPE to Chorley

 

[MK Tom]

A short stay in Chorley then another FTPE super-heavy super-fuel-inefficient should-have-ordered-a-diesel-version-of-the-class-377 class 185 to Preston

 

[Robinson]

Glasgow Central allowed? (I know neither the London-Glasgow nor the Birmingham-Glasgow routes are actually strictly hourly, but put them together and you have at least 1 train to Glasgow from Preston every hour...)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Glasgow Central allowed? (I know neither the London-Glasgow nor the Birmingham-Glasgow routes are actually strictly hourly, but put them together and you have at least 1 train to Glasgow from Preston every hour...)

Is this adhering to the true spirit of the rules of this quiz?

 

[Class172]

Well if we go to Crewe then it will work with both the previous stations won't it?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By ATW to Shrewsbury

 

[Ivo]

From Shrewsbury down to Newport with ATW.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By XC to Gloucester

 

[Class172]

To Birmingham New Street on a XC 220.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By Virgin Trains to Carlisle

 

[Class172]

To Glasgow Central.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By XC to Edinburgh

 

[Class172]

With East Coast to Newcastle.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By First TPE to Huddersfield

 

[Class172]

Continuing on the same train to Manchester Piccadilly.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

One other rule, you can't go back on the same service you just used in the previous step. I'm making an exception (after 12 pages of playing!) to that for dead-end branch lines, which can be done to the end and back again in one step (provided there's an hourly service of course).

Let us not forget this section of the rules.

By Northern to Wilmslow

 

[Class172]

ATW 175 to Shrewsbury
