Hourly or more services only...

[Class172]

To Shenfield on a NXEA 315.

 

[Ivo]

From there we shall travel to Ipswich on an NXEA 360.

 

[Eagle]

170 to March.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

170 to March.

A new TOC called "170" ! ! !....

By XC to Peterborough

 

[Ivo]

Now we head to Finsbury Park on an FCC 365.

 

[Eagle]

Thence to Highbury and Islington with FCC.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Time for a change of TOC for a "short hop".....


By LO to Dalston Kingsland

 

[Ivo]

South to Whitechapel on an LO 378

 

[Eagle]

South to Whitechapel on an LO 378

From Kingsland?

 

[Ivo]

Oh. Oops. My bad. Mis-read it. Thus, the was appropriate - a devilish attempt to change the rules!

Or maybe not.

Continuing to Stratford on an LO 378 instead.

 

[Eagle]

Having said that, if we're allowing West Hampstead Thameslink to NLL (or even Brixton CML to Victoria line) then we should include interchange between the two Dalstons.

But then we'd have to allow Wigan, and Dorking, and Ash Vale... where do we draw the line? Stations with the same name?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We can only travel to a station that has a service frequency of more than 1tph off peak on weekdays from the station we're currently on. So, if we were at Corby, we could travel to London St. Pancras, but we couldn't travel to Oakham. Also you can't change trains, you can only use direct services.

Does this help ?

 

[Robinson]

From Stratford we shall go with NXEA to Bishops Stortford.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

By NXEA to London Liverpool Street

 

[Eagle]

On the Circle line to Paddington (Bishops Road)

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Are we allowed to use London Underground stations on this particular quiz?

 

[Eagle]

Paddington Bishops Road is not an Underground station per se... it's just platforms 15 and 16 of Paddington mainline station (it had that name to distinguish it from Paddington Praed Street, which is tube only).

But yes, we are allowed tube stations should the need arise.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thank you for that clarification of the rules.
