Reading through the last two pages I was like :D when we went CLJ, EAD, WIM - but then :( when we veered into Southern territory.

I'm complaining, Lampshade's post originally said Catford and Robinson's Bellingham! How can you get to London Bridge from Crofton Park?

We've all edited our posts in opposite directions...
Can someone clarify what happened there? I think Class172 changed from Queens Road Peckham to Crofton Park before Lampshade changed to London Bridge... and I initially followed Crofton Park but changed to follow suit...

If anyone can clarify that would be very helpful; at the moment I have no idea what the correct thing to do was...
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Quoted from the rules:

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.
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 game is then continued by a different individual, starting from the station before the incorrect submission.
ii) Another individual states their suspicion, which is then confirmed by the OP. Anyone is then welcome to continue the game, again starting from the station before the incorrect submission.


I guess the fairest thing to do would be to take the game back to the last correct post before the edits?

If an individual states that there is a mistake when there is not, their post is invalid, and another poster may continue as normal.

This may be of help

Here's what happened:

Lampshade: Peckham Rye
Robinson: Nunhead
Class172: Queens Road Peckham - changed to follow Nunhead with Crofton Park
Paul Sidorczuk: Lewisham - deleted after Class172's post changed to Crofton Park
Lampshade: Catford
Robinson: Bellingham
Lampshade: post then changes to London Bridge
Robinson: post then changes to follow Lampshade and becomes Cannon Street
Class172: Beckenham Hill (follows on from Robinson's post pre-edit).

All in the space of three minutes.
