The next station is...!

[Xenophon PCDGS]

When submitting a station, you must use the full station name, officially recognised by National Rail Enquiries

In answer to the query raised earlier today, I have made contact with that organisation and their reply states that the two station names officially recognised by National Rail Enquiries are:-

Greenhithe

Didcot Parkway

 

[Buttsy]

St Ives, another song mentioned by Flanders and Swann.

A massive thank you for donating the leg, the next one will start at York. You can choose where we go next!

I missed this as I had left work, but all stations on the branch are valid moves from St Ives (St Erth, Lelant Saltings & Lelant), there is a lot of skip-stopping, so St Ives is not, automatically, a winning move. See table 144 for full details.

As a new leg has started, we are unable to go back, but can all players please check the timetables or wait for confirmation that a win has occurred if there MAY be a potential move available (some finishes will be very obvious).

There is no Wolds Coast service that misses Seamer and services that miss Seamer and Malton call at York (2 TPE and one EMT on summer Saturdays at least), the next leg shall start at Coombe Junction Halt

 

[DasLunatic]

St Keyne Wishing Well Halt

 

[Buttsy]

Causeland

 

[DasLunatic]

Sandplace

Hold!!!

The start of the leg was at 20:38. Buttsy posted at 20:46. This is a gap of only eight minutes. There must be a minimum or three valid moves of fifteen minutes before the leg starter can post again.

 

[Buttsy]

Looe

There is a valid long wait move from here

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Looe

There is a valid long wait move from here

HALT CALLED

The same contestant CANNOT post two consecutive station postings.....as seems to have occurred with both Causeland and Looe

There has been no change to that rule so where does this leg now stand

No, sorry Paul, I posted Causeland within the 15 minute 'cooling-off' period, so I have struck through all my moves

I know there are only two points involved in this instance, but please can I call for an adjudication as to how this should be scored? I can either
a) award the two points as if it were a complete leg
b) void the posts.

I am happy to do either, but would like to be consistent.

 

[DasLunatic]

Causeland, which I think is a win.

 

[clagmonster]

I agree. The mainline connection is not cleared for passenger use, let alone have a service scheduled over it which does not call at Liskeard, so the points are yours DasLunatic.

 

[DasLunatic]

The next game starts at Downham Market.

ADJUDICATION

Since Buttsy has already mentioned in his posting on the thread that there can be no retrospective action taken on a completed leg in accordance with the rules of the quiz, the matter will have to stand.

Howsoever, he did add a rider to his posting, asking that contestants be more careful in certain circumstances, such as the case in question. Let us all hope that this has not been said in vain.

And it came to pass that the words Shippea Hill were sent down onto the quiz and there was wailing and gnashing of teeth...

And so Lakenheath was announced, by a poster whose rails were not made of meat; for they had no slippery or greasy qualities; it was not bacon-track. And so it came to be known as the 'leg win', for the people had experienced these before, in the dimension of 'The Next Station is...!'. And so the words resonated through the forum thread; for all were to see the triumph, and disappointment, that came throughout the land of RailUKForums. The people despondently checked the timetables, for want of adjudication, upon this answer. But none came; and thus Lakenheath won the game, for this service passes through every 4 and 20 years, when the moon is in line with Jupiter, and there are no engineering works...

Less poetically, let me just check...
