2788, it's not hard. Just being your awkward self towards me eh.
IMO you are the one being awkward, why couldn't you add up the extra mileage and then give her the new total to update the scoreboard with?

As Tom said, you're the one being awkward, not her.
As per requested earlier in the thread, please give the new totals rather than a random figure to add to whatever, as it's not just Gizmogle who updates the leaderboard, so confusion can be easily caused with stupid poxy little sums like yours.
Everyone else is following the rules of the game, so why can't you instead of messing poor little Gizzy around?

Well, I travelled 6 times from York to Penzance in the past year =|

Leeds - New Street x6
Leeds - Kings Cross x5
St Pancras - Leeds x1
Leeds - Newcastle x4
Leeds - York via Harrogate x1
Leeds - Blackpool x2
Leeds - Piccadilly/Airport - 5
There are probably other times as well but hey! Does anyone know how I can get the York - Penzance? It keeps coming up with routes via Bradford.... instead of the direct train...

Well, add up your mileage and you can be put on ther board 
There's a 1244 service from York direct to Penzance, arriving at 2056.
Only one a day by the looks of it.
The other option is to get a train from York to Taunton, and then Taunton to Penzance.
