Hatch End

 

[Ivo]

Carpenders Park

Not bad for a random look!

 

[Robinson]

Yes, I know the feeling...

 

[Ivo]

What was I doing during that ~2 hour interval? Watching and researching too much Pokémon. Again :roll:

Let's-a start zis next-a game from Clapham Junction. Where to?

 

[Eagle]

London Waterloo

 

[Ivo]

You don't like me winning do you? Someone get us out of here with an "express" working...!

 

[Zoe]

Woking.

 

[Robinson]

Brookwood

It's not just long-distance expresses that skip Clapham... Wimbledon, Richmond and Surbiton are all valid moves from there.

 

[Ivo]

Thank you Zoe

Farnborough

It's not just long-distance expresses that skip Clapham... Wimbledon, Richmond and Surbiton are all valid moves from here.

I'm not aware of Richmond (or possibly even Wombleland) being valid moves, but I know Surbiton is...

Fleet.

 

[Eagle]

Farnborough (Main).

Basingstoke

 

[Robinson]

Bramley

 

[Ivo]

Mortimer

 

[Zoe]

HOLD! HOLD! HOLD!

We are still at Fleet.

 

[Robinson]

Reading West

 

[Eagle]

Reading West

 

[Ivo]

Is it not possible to go straight from Fleet to Basingstoke? I'm sure Poole terminators do this.

 

[Robinson]

HOLD! HOLD! HOLD!

We are still at Fleet.

You edited your post after we'd long since gone...
I'm only gonna send us back to Fleet if Basingstoke from Farnborough was invalid.

Is it not possible to go straight from Fleet to Basingstoke? I'm sure some services do this?

The posted move was from Farnbourgh and I had already posted Fleet.

 

[Lampshade]

Yes the Poole service runs fast from Fleet to Basingstoke.

 

[Eagle]

I'm only gonna send us back to Fleet if Basingstoke from Farnborough was invalid.

Which it isn't; it's the standard calling pattern in the Portsmouth-via-Farehams.

Farnborough was posted by Ivo before me. I changed in response to that. The correction was made before the next move was posted. Eagle's move was in response to my post.

 

[Robinson]

Right, so either way our progression is valid. Therefore we are still at Reading West.

 

[Eagle]

The correction was made before the next move was posted.

Was it though? I'm a pretty fast poster, and it said Farnborough when I pressed "Quote"...

Editing a post doesn't refresh the page.

 

[Lampshade]

And I'll take us to Reading.

 

[Zoe]

No it wasn't as I had changed to fleet before the next move was made and Eagle's move was in response to my post.

Idea:

This happens all too often. So, in future, why don't we forbid editing of posts in this thread, and instead mark incorrect entries thusly:

Fleet

This will eliminate all instances of an edited post throwing the thread.

(Use (S) and (/S) in square brackets, as with bold etc, for the strikethrough.)

N.B.: Obviously this editing would not extend to non-station posts, as with this one (which has itself been edited), as these should not disrupt the game if changed. We just need to be more careful...

Alternatively, just change all erroneous posts to "deleted" or similar. Or do absolutely nothing, and thus leave the erroneous station as, well, and eroror. Just don't edit such moves!
