Don't the services run...... Ramsgate - Dumpton Park - Broadstairs - Margate?

Incidentally, I am still not happy with the matter on the previous leg and I have made a further posting on that matter a couple of postings back on this thread.

Where did we go wrong?

Manchester Victoria to Eccles (on Man Vic-Liverpool) VALID.
Eccles to Patricroft (on Man Vic-Liverpool) VALID.
Patricroft to Newton-le-Willows (on Man Vic-Liverpool) VALID.
Newton-le-Willows to St Helens Junction (change of train; now on Manchester Airport-Liverpool) VALID. We were allowed to change trains, as we have been all through this quiz.

If that combination isn't valid, the following examples should also have been disallowed (all have been played):

All stops Reading-London Waterloo (direct services from Reading don't call at Richmond-Clapham Junction stations except a handful at Putney, nor do any call Queenstown Road);
All stops Crewe-Manchester Airport then fast to Piccadilly;
All stops Stoke-Macclesfield then fast to Stockport;
All stops Poole-Dorchester South only to then skip out Upwey;
All stops Tyseley-Henley-in-Arden then on the fast to Stratford-upon-Avon;
All stops Banbury-West Ruislip then jumping onto the Gerrards Cross-London Paddington service.

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
It never was a stop on Northern services from Manchester Airport to Liverpool, as far as I know...Not the ones I used to see at Piccadilly on my way back and fro from Scotland/my old boarding school anyway.

The above is posting # 3452....This is where the mention of Manchester Airport came into the equation and caused me so much confusion, as a Manchester Victoria service was being followed. Now that I have traced this particular posting and assured myself that I had not imagined the mention of Manchester Airport, I am more than happy to call the matter dead and buried.

Nooooo!!!..... <(

Skewen

(I'm off out this afternoon, so was hoping to get us on the HoW line so you'd all still be at it by the time I got back and no one would have a chance to nab a crafty winning spot too quickly.) <D
