[Robinson]

Excuse me!? I have been here since #12723 actually at Homerton! I did not rui any 2 player pattern! :P hehe!

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment...

I believe you have just won.

I certainly have I said I'd win and that's what Robinson gets for telling me I ruin things :P hehe!

The next game will start from Swansea.

I can't come into this game for another 3 posts anyway because of the 3-post rule so I'm going to do some coursework. Will be interesting to see where we end up whilst I'm gone. Have fun! See you later!

Indeed so. I'm only messing too hehe

Not a valid starting station as it has no through platforms.

Not a valid starting station as it has no through platforms.

Quoted from the rules:

At the start of a game, the OP(at the very beginning or if necessary) or the player who previously ended a leg of the journey, will choose a starting station (unless the player has called an ¡§open floor¡¨, in which any player can choose a starting station) that adheres to the following criteria:

„« It is on NR rails (or Merseyrail)
„« It is not just a terminal station.
„« It is not the same station as the one which ended the previous leg.

This would imply that as Swansea is not a terminal station (although having terminal platforms) is allowed surely?

There was a precedent set when it was decided that Bourne End was an invalid starting station.

Oh right, well I haven't got a clue where to find that so there we go.

Ah well, okay then we've started from Llansamlet and we're now at Swansea anyway, fab.

I cannot trace a posting that says Llansamlet has been officially named as the starting station......am I blind or can anyone else see it....:roll:.

Where is this leg starting from ?

Dan originally included it in post 12815, it seems it has been edited out.

It is the only major station remaining open in Swansea. I suspect that officially the High Street suffix has now been removed.

I have a feeling that Swansea railway station is situated on High Street, but I cannot trace an official name as such for "Swansea High Street railway station".....:roll:

I originally started from Swansea, but then I got told it was invalid because Swansea has 'terminal' platforms, although the rules which I quoted state that it's only in the case of a terminal station, but then apparently Bourne End is an example of a station of through services that reverse, so that wasn't allowed, the same goes for Swansea, even though there are through services. I don't really understand the point of that rule to be honest, but there we go.

So then the next stop was Swansea, which officially is Swansea High Street although National Rail documents do not refer to it as this.

So, the game started at Llansamlet, which I have edited to quote the query regarding where to start, and then we made a stop at Swansea.

So we are now at Swansea.

Just think of how many points in "Scrabble" could be gained by naming stations on this line!!

The six highest-scoring letters in Scrabble are J, K, Q, V, X and Z. The six letters that are not used in Welsh are J, K, Q, V, X, and Z. I'll let you draw your own conclusions on which country to avoid when playing Station Scrabble :P
