The next station is...!

Manchester United F.C. Halt and victory

Thanks to Ivo for that particular pearl of wisdom.

We're now going to start at Bidston.

 

[clagmonster]

Does it have a service at least weekly though?

 

[Zoe]

Manchester United F.C. Halt and victory

I hope this win wasn't on penalties.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Upton

 

[clagmonster]

On this one, Heswall.

I still dispute the Old Trafford Halt on the basis the spur has a less the weekly passenger service.

 

[Robinson]

Already been done by Ivo, so I assumed it was valid.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

If the current leg is still in progress......Neston

 

[Robinson]

If my win in the last leg is accepted I can't go yet, but I'm not sure if an agreement was reached...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

2. You cannot use any freight lines, but you can use any line that has a passenger service at least weekly (not every 3rd Monday etc).

8. IN THE EVENT OF A WRONG ANSWER:

If a submission to the quiz is incorrect, but there have been no further posts, the author may edit their post.

If there have been further posts, either of two circumstances should occur;
i) The author states their position, thus making any posts after the original superfluous. The game is then continued by a different individual, starting from the station before the incorrect submission.
ii) Another individual states their suspicion, which is then confirmed by the OP. Anyone is then welcome to continue the game, again starting from the station before the incorrect submission.

If an individual states that there is a mistake when there is not, their post is invalid, and another poster may continue as normal.

The above parts of the rules need to be looked at, in order that a decision is correctly reached.

 

[Robinson]

Looks like my win has just been declared invalid.
Also looks like someone else needs to lead off from Oxford Road, according to the rules...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Oxford Rd.

Manchester Piccadilly

 

[Robinson]

'Fraid Piccadilly's gone (post #3340)

Guide Bridge-Stalybridge I don't see as a parly as there is a freqeunt service over the line. It is an infrequent service bonus though as it is the only such train to actually call at Guide Bridge.

Still counts as parliamentary by my understanding. If the Caley sleeper can count as a "long wait" bonus for going from Motherwell to Carstairs, even though there is a very frequent service along that line, then by the same token Guide Bridge to Stalybridge would have to count as parliamentary surely. Plenty of other long-wait examples we've had as well...

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Can anyone check if the football ground station at Manchester United has ever been used on a previous leg to collect a win.

If Deansgate then Oxford Road are posted, and Manchester Piccadilly has already been used, how does this affect this leg?

 

[Robinson]

Still got the Liverpool and ATW services as options, both of which are non-stop through Deansgate.

For a previous usage of Manchester United F.C. Halt - see post #3058.

I have to be out for a bit now - I'll be back later in the evening.

Newton-le-Willows on ATW ex-MCO

 

[Class172]

Where are we then?

 

[MidnightFlyer]

I was carrying on from Manchester Oxford Rd on account that we can't go to Piccadilly

 

[Class172]

Earlestown then.

 

[Lampshade]

Warrington Bank Quay.

Officially my most frequent station in this thread.

 

[Class172]

Crewe

 

[Lampshade]

Chester.

 

[MidnightFlyer]

Bache

 

[Class172]

Capenhurst

 

[adtrainz]

Just a small clarification on the whole Man United Halt idea.

As it has an infrequent service, (sometimes more than weekly) it is not valid. However, points claimed before this post for it will still be valid.

From now, Manchester United halt is not valid.

 

[Class172]

Thank you for the clarification.

We continue then from Capenhurst.

 

[gnolife]

Hooton

 

[Ivo]

Eastham Rake

Sorry about the whole MUF thing; I didn't realise that. I mean, what else has a less than weekly service? It's not the sort of thing that would obviously spring to mind.

 

[Robinson]

Sorry, everybody, but Crewe was already taken (post #3326)! Therefore everything after #3380 is not valid.
Back to Warrington Bank Quay, with Lampshade the most recent poster.
