ADJUDICATION REQUIRED

The submitted link shows that particular 1019 service from Woking to Wimbledon only ran on Sunday, 10th July only which was PRIOR TO the quiz point in time when that posting was made. I thought that retrospective train times were not allowed upon this quiz.

That service is not running on Sunday, 17th July 2016.

Do the normal fast services from Woking to Wimbledon normally make an intermediate stop at Surbiton?

 

[clagmonster]

Table 155 and http://www.opentraintimes.com/schedule/W91107/2016-07-24 confirm that this train is not normally booked to stop at Wimbledon. I suspect that this was a tennis related additional stop, I do not see that there is at least a weekly service so unless evidence of such can be supplied I am afraid I shall have to disallow the posting.

We'll start again at London Liverpool Street.

Are terminal stations now allowed as starting points for a leg? hock:

1. How to play

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 new starting station (unless the player has called an open floor, in which case 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 (There are two or more different stations that can be reached from it, on separate lines.)

It is not the same station as the one which ended the previous leg.

This is an extract from Rule 1 of the quiz rules that covers the point raised by Robinson about terminal stations being used as the starting station when a new leg is launched.

It is not just a terminal station (There are two or more different stations that can be reached from it, on separate lines.)

The above is an extract from the rules. My understanding of this rule is that the first station has to be on a different line totally from the other, not just having platforms on one route only. In my view the following London terminals cannot be used as starting points:
Waterloo
Charing Cross
Cannon Street
Fenchurch Street
Liverpool Street
Moorgate
Kings Cross
Euston

The following I consider to be allowable:
Marylebone (Wembley Stadium/Harrow-on-the-Hill)
Paddington (Acton Main Line/South Ruislip)

One I'm not sure on:
Victoria (Battersea Park/Brixton) as this could be a Liverpool Street scenario, but Baker's atlas suggests not.

St Pancras, Blackfriars, London Bridge etc. are all through stations in some way.

Is it not the case in the matter of London Liverpool Street that both Bethnal Green/ Cambridge Heath and Stratford/Lea Bridge can be regarded at two separate routes?

Is it not the case in the matter of London Liverpool Street that both Bethnal Green/ Cambridge Heath and Stratford/Lea Bridge can be regarded at two separate routes?

Baker's atlas shows it being before the divergence of the routes. Historically, it was on both lines and one of the platform faces is technically extant on the GEML. Finally, one route can be gained from the other after the station.

If another adjudicator has a more convincing argument or a moderator gives a ruling, then I'm happy to go with that.

 

[DasLunatic]

From Project Mapping:

As can be clearly seen, Bethnal Green diverges after it has left the course of the Great Eastern Mainline. Therefore, it represents a valid starting station.

However, let us continue with the game at hand - I will do this by playing Hersham.

Bethnal Green station:

Is it on both lines? My opinion is it is.
