The 2342 Stagecoach 104 departure from Plumpton then takes us to Whinfell Forest, Centre Parcs, arriving at 0007 Wednesday morning

Is this the same one that is in Temple Sowerby?

 

[dzug2]

Temple Sowerby is a bit further out along the A66 from Penrith - but essentially yes

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The 0033 bus will arrive us in High Hesket half an hour later at 0103. The route is 104.

....which arrives on Wednesday morning.

Gameplay

In your post you should clearly state the time your service departs, the company who's service you are using and the time and day of arrival at your chosen destination.

It is advisable to follow such guide notes

 

[dzug2]

The first Stagecoach 104 bus next morning at 0629 takes us to Carlisle English Street (which has a rail symbol by it) arriving at 0646 Wednesday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Still being enamoured of the Cumbrian omnibus routes, we turn our back on the railway station option and instead make a 4 minute walk to the bus station where we next board the 0710 Stagecoach in Cumbria and North Lancashire service 300 to Siddick (St Helens business park) that arrives there at 0828 on Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0840 Stagecoach in Cumbria service 30 to Maryport (Ewanrigg Road), arriving there at 0851 on Wednesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the 8 minute walk to the bus stop on Curzon Road where we next board the 0905 Stagecoach in Cumbria service 31 to Egremont (Harra Villas) that arrives there at 1033 on Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Again, there appears to be a conflict with place names here, as the official Stagecoach timetable states that Harras Villas are in fact actually in Frizington, which is the terminus of the 31.

Anyway, not to worry, as we board the 1040 Stagecoach in Cumbria service 31 to another fairly large settlement, this time Whitehaven (Lowther Street), arriving there at 1111 on Wednesday morning.

 

[dzug2]

The 1128 service 30 Stagecoach takes us to Flimby station, arriving at 1217 Wednesday afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We enter the railway station and noting this is a request stop station, we give a clear signal to the train driver before boarding the 1232 Northern service to Corkickle (another request stop) where we notify our intention to a member of the train staff before it arrives there at 1302 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Moving away from the Cumbrian coast now, we then board 2C30, the 1359 Northern service to Lancaster, arriving there at 1621 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[AndrewR232]

A trip to Glasgow Central next on the 1655 Virgin Trains (West Coast) service, arriving there at 1915 on Wednesday evening.

 

[FQ]

We then take the 19:45 SR service to Dalry arriving at 20:13 on Wednesday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Heading to the bus stop on Sharon Street, we then board the 2128 Stagecoach West Scotland service X36 to Howwood (Risk Cottages), arriving there at 2154 on Wednesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Still time to head out to the coastal area as we board the 2254 Stagecoach West Scotland service X36 to Ardrossan (Verona Place) that arrives there at 2344 on Wednesday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Taking the short walk (0.2 miles) to South Beach station, we then board 2T37, the 0002 ScotRail service to Largs, arriving there at 0018 in the early hours of Thursday morning.

 

[dzug2]

This appears to be within the rules

We make our way to the ferry terminal and take the 0645 Calmac service to Cumbrae Ferry terminal, arriving at 0655 Wednesday morning

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Departing from the ferry, we take the short walk to the bus stop on the quayside where we board the 0655 Cumbrae Coaches service 320 to Millport (Cardiff Street) that arrives there at 0705 on Thursday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Hang on a second, your departure and arrival times are exactly the same!

 

[dzug2]

Hang on a second, your departure and arrival times are exactly the same!

Now corrected - it should have been 0655 arrival

Traveline Scotland shows a direct connection ferry to bus with no waiting time so Paul's move is still valid

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Now corrected - it should have been 0655 arrival

This now means that my posting will have to be struck-through....which it now is.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We can only board the 0710 Cumbrae Coaches service 320 back to Portrye (Ferry Terminus), arriving there at 0720 on Thursday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Rules

• You should use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time.

This section of the rules is what I have abided by, as there are two different modes of transport involved.

 

[dzug2]

Having arrived at the destination, the minimum connection time for the station or stop must be allowed for. Where this is not published, a minimum interchange time is considered to be five minutes.

In this case the minimum interchange time is implicitly published as zero (well less than one) minutes in Traveline Scotland's journey planner

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We can only board the 0710 Cumbrae Coaches service 320 back to Portrye (Ferry Terminus), arriving there at 0720 on Thursday morning.

This now appears to be the posting from which this quiz should now continue.

 

[dzug2]

In that case we can safely take the 0730 Calmac ferry back to Largs Ferry Pier, arriving at 0740 Thursday morning

I thought I might come to regret that move

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Just the short walk from the disembarkation point of the ferry to the bus stop on Main Street sees us next board the 0753 Stagecoach West Scotland service 585 to Ayr bus station that arrives at 0933....Query raised on what quiz day it actually is.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I think the quiz day in question is that of WEDNESDAY

This has now been amended.

Just the short walk from the disembarkation point of the ferry to the bus stop on Main Street sees us next board the 0753 Stagecoach West Scotland service 585 to Ayr bus station....ON WEDNESDAY MORNING

Could you, however, please state what time this service arrives at Ayr, as I had to work it out myself!

Just the short walk from the disembarkation point of the ferry to the bus stop on Main Street sees us next board the 0753 Stagecoach West Scotland service 585 to Ayr bus station....ON WEDNESDAY MORNING

We then board the 0940 Stagecoach West Scotland service X77 to Glasgow (Bothwell Street), arriving there at 1034 on Thursday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I had entered 0933...but in making the day clearer, I then back-tracked too far.

Motto for the day : There is no fool like an old fool

 

[FQ]

WAIT. The fist post of the day (shown below) says Thursday and the day before was Wednesday. Does this mean that it is indeed Thursday?

Taking the short walk (0.2 miles) to South Beach station, we then board 2T37, the 0002 ScotRail service to Largs, arriving there at 0018 in the early hours of Thursday morning.
