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, so long as the original is shown as crossed out. After striking through an incorrect entry, you must use reply rather than edit to post your new entry. This aims to prevent confusion to allow for smooth proceedings.

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 original incorrect answer should be crossed out. The game is then continued by a different individual,
ii) Another individual states their suspicion, which is then confirmed by another player. Anyone is then welcome to continue the game, again starting from the station before the incorrect submission. Again, the incorrect answer should be crossed out.

If you are unable to cross the answer out, due to reasons beyond your control, you should only edit to a statement giving an acceptable reason. You should not make another posting until another person has posted.

If the post is edited, then it will be assumed that the entry has been changed, unless a clear reason is posted in the reason box.

9. Any entry that has been edited or deleted without good reason will lose 10 points from that leg.

Above is shown an extract of the rules of this quiz, incorporating both sections 8 and 9.

It was only after the posting of Redbridge was made that the posting prior to it was struck out.

As I cannot say what the station was that was deleted, I can only say that we carry on as all moves visible are valid (Totton - Redbridge being a long wait).

Totton to Millbrook is an invalid move, so no issue with the retraction, but an issue with the way it was retracted

This is what I thought, but felt the need to show new contestants how to deal with matters in accordance with rules 8 and 9 was worthy of a posting of clarification.
