Hoping the above isn't a winner, I will cautiously play...

Dorchester West

 

[backontrack]

Upwey

What was that about winners? :P

That was a valid move, but, unfortunately for you, so was mine. Dorchester South-Weymouth non-stop appears regularly in timetables. As it is, you fudged it by playing Dorchester West, which is valid and has services to Upwey as well as to Dorchester South.

Well, anyway, I have the privilege of starting the next leg (I'm milking this because it's a rare occurrence, with the rest of you being better at this than me and all). So, without further ado:

The next leg will begin at...hmm...let's say...

...Haydon Bridge

HOLD

Weymouth to Dorchester West is invalid. Everything between Weymouth and Dorchester West calls at Upwey, which has already been played.

 

[backontrack]

Only I played Upwey...?

HOLD

Weymouth to Dorchester West is invalid.

ARE YOU SERIOUS??!?!?

When will I get a win on this game?

 

[Darren R]

After a thorough check of Real Time Trains, I can find no services that run fast from Weymouth to Dorchester West. Dorchester West is therefore invalid and must be struck-through.

Only I played Upwey...?

You did indeed - my error. Since Dorchester West is invalid, your move from Weymouth to Upwey was the last valid post. Unfortunately, this is not a winning move, and we continue from Upwey. (Sorry!)

When will I get a win on this game? :cry:

Well you've got over 2,000 points and are in the top 10 - so you must have won a few!

 

[DasLunatic]

I feel almost cruel doing this, but needs must...

Weymouth

 

[backontrack]

HOLD ON...

...I'm in the top 10??!?!? ARE YOU SERIOUS????

hock:

Apologies for my rather surprised state. I'll stop behaving like John McEnroe. :P

Weymouth

Well, you've got the next leg. Did you see the PM I sent you?

 

[DasLunatic]

I did - must've not paid attention.

We'll restart (tentatively) at Colchester Town.

... although Upwey's played, Dor West may well be valid now...

 

[Darren R]

HOLD

You can't play Weymouth - it's already gone!

#86176 Dorchester South (Paul Sidorczuk)
#86177 Weymouth (backontrack)

backontrack can't play Upwey, as the previous valid posting was also his.

This is the last valid post, and where we still are.

Weymouth

Upwey


Now please will someone play Dorchester West so we can get out of this!

It is at times like this, that relinquishing my role as a Senior Adjudicator to this quiz after four years in that role, seems to have been one of my more inspired ideas
