The points would appear to be yours. Sadly, there will be a penalty though due to the 14 hour gap before Ely was posted.

Do 9 of those hours count as it was night? (00:00 - 09:00) :)

6. End of the Line: When at the 3rd station from an end point, if the 2nd station is not posted within 3 hours, then 20 points are taken from the leg total. If no posts are received over 6 hours, another 20 points are taken from the leg total. This ruling will not apply in the time period of 0001 and 0900 inclusive.
Above is the relevent rule. The clok starts at 09:00 for the penalty, so there were effectively 6 hours and 25 minutes between points, so it is two lots of 20 points off I'm afraid.

OUCH! Wish I'd gone to Manea now. Hopefully the long waits and parlys won't mean I get 0 again...

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
It is not possible to have negative points, so if this occurs the value will default to zero.

I trust that this extract section that is near to the bottom of the rules on the first posting of this particular quiz will put any such queries out of the worry of quiz contributors.

It would have been better to have had this particular rule clarification placed in a section where its relevance would have been far more obvious.
