Rolling stock game

[DanNCL]

Metrocar (Class 994) to Heworth
Is this the first time that a TW Metrocar has been used in this game two times so close together?

 

[A Challenge]

Might be, it is very close, though I can't imagine that's true for this move!

Midland Metro Urbos 3 tram (is that their proper name?) to Jewellery Quarter

 

[A Challenge]

Yes, and also I have made reference to New Street as a tram stop before - its proper name is Grand Central as I've just discovered

Class 172 to Birmingham Moor Street

 

[DanNCL]

Thought it was their proper name, but wasn't 100% certain

Class 456 to Aldershot

Nope! That doesn't happen anymore! And I should know

Have we decided if the move was valid yet?

 

[A Challenge]

I give given evidence it is

 

[DanNCL]

I give given evidence it is

I'm not sure Wikipedia is the most reliable source, though I'll assume we're continuing on from Aldershot; Class 450 to Alton

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

I give given evidence it is

That is unreliable information. Class 456s were withdrawn in favour of Desiros on that route altogether within the last two weeks.

Furthermore, SWR have informed us that First class is now reinstated on all Ascot line services.

 

[DanNCL]

Do we need an adjudication?

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

Do we need an adjudication?

Well I don't want to be catty. I'm just saying the move is not valid. If you want to the play the game properly...

Up to you. But to my dismay 450s returned to operating all services on the route, apart from an early morning 458.

In that case if this move is edited to say Class 458 instead of 456

Class 456 to Aldershot

then the post by myself afterwards is still valid, and the game can carry on.

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

The 458 starts at Farnham it does not serve Guildford.

In addition on the 707 thread about four other members confirmed the withdrawal of 456s on the route, 450s are indeed the only trains going between Guildford and Aldershot at present.

I was unaware about this, is this therefore nowhere where you can get unclassified SWT first class, I had hoped to?

Err. Twickenham on a rugby day is a likely bet, that's about it sadly.

If you ever get on a busy train though, showing the guard section 19 of the old National Rail Conditions of Carriage works!

 

[A Challenge]

That isn't valid anyway though amymore

 

[DanNCL]

So we now appear to have taken a 450 to Aldershot? In that case then we'll take a 458 to Ascot

 

[TT-ONR-NRN]

That isn't valid anyway though amymore

Yes but it always works anyway!

707 to Wokingham
