Not that it remotely matters, but that service isn't planned to terminate at Borough Green & Wrotham normally. It usually goes to Victoria, but the timetable this week allows for engineering works. We, however, do not account for these works and base it on the normal working timetable.

Anyway, we then board 2A54, the 1726 Southeastern service to Bromley South, arriving there at 1803 on Sunday evening.

We run for the Thameslink 319 sat on Platform 1, but we see it pull away just as we make it down the stairs. We decide to wait for the next Thameslink service - a 387 this time - and ride it to City Thameslink. After setting off at 1830, we arrive at 1908 Sunday evening

 

[me123]

We walk out to Ludgate Hill and board a Tower Transit number 23 bus, pulling up at 19:19. We take the bus as far as Ladbroke Grove station, where we arrive at 20:14 on Sunday evening.

 

[DasLunatic]

We head back onto the Tube and board the 2027 Circle Line service. We're bored and (almost) do a full lap, alighting at Notting Hill Gate at 2128 Sunday night

 

[me123]

We transfer onto the Central Line and step onto a Westbound train at 21:39. We alight at Greenford at 21:58 on Sunday evening.

We then exit the station and board the 2215 Metroline service 105 to Heathrow Airport (Central Bus Station), arriving there at 2255 on Sunday evening.

 

[James Wake]

We just have time to make the 2300 Quality Line service X26 to Croydon Road/Wallington Green arriving at 0006 on Monday morning.

 

[DasLunatic]

Seeing how Heathrow cannot allow planes to land/takeoff after 11PM, we are forced to leave the airport. So, we head into Terminal 5 and board the 2303 Heathrow Express service to London Paddington, arriving 2324 Sunday night.

This is the correct post from which we should continue from.

We then board the 0020 Arriva London service 410 to Crystal Palace (Parade), arriving there at 0057 in the early hours of Monday morning.

 

[Quakkerillo]

And we have a great connection onto the 01:05 Abellio London N3 bus service, which goes straight into town. At 01:46 we arrive at the Oxford Circus RE stop

 

[AndrewR232]

We walk to stop RD to board the London General service 88 at 0157, alighting at Camden Town station at 0207 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

After a couple of hours in our sleeping bag, we enter the tube station (Piccadilly & District lines) and board the 0534 Piccadilly line service to Cockfosters, arriving 0628 on Monday morning.

After a couple of hours in our sleeping bag, we enter the tube station (Piccadilly & District lines) and board the 0534 Piccadilly line service to Cockfosters, arriving 0628 on Monday morning.

We have a gap of two and a half hours here. Are there not any other night buses from Hammersmith between 0305 and 0534?

A reminder to everyone that if you wish to propose an amendment to the rules or change the scope of a game/quiz the appropriate way of doing this is via a PM to the Quizmasters. Discussion on a quiz/game thread about the rules of a game is liable to be deleted for being off topic.

Any change that is agreed by the QMs will be clearly announced by them at the time that such a change takes effect.

Probably, but it's not too unreasonable to have a rest, so I'm going to continue from...

We leave the station and board the Metroline 384 bus towards Quinta drive at 06:35. We alight at High Barnet Station at 07:01 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Fair enough

Transferring from bus services to the tube station is fairly complex, and involves a relatively long walk crossing some busy roads. We allow enough time to do this, and so we board the 0718 Northern Line service to Balham, arriving there at 0816 on Monday morning.

 

[me123]

Then onto the mainline station where we board the 08:28 Southern Trains service 2Y79 to Caterham, where we alight at 09:08 on Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then exit the station and board the 0945 Southdown PSV service 357 to Redhill (Bus Station), arriving there at 1010 on Monday morning.

 

[me123]

We grab a bite to eat in McDonalds, then at 11:00 we board the Metrobus 540 service to Woldingham. We alight at Woldingham Railway Station at 11:32 on Monday morning.

I took the 384 from Cockfosters to High Barnet a few weeks back, have you been reading my trip reports?

Taking a sudden liking of this area, we next board the 1237 SN service to Riddlesdown that arrives at 1306 on Monday afternoon.

 

[me123]

We walk down Lower Barn Road and hop onto the Arriva London number 412 service, arriving at 13:22. It takes us as far as South Croydon (Swan & Sugar Loaf), where we are disappointed to see the eponymous pub has closed for business. We arrive there at 13:41 on Monday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

South Croydon station is only 0.4 miles away, and is a nine minute walk away. We make the journey, where we board 2M41, the 1407 Southern service to Milton Keynes Central, arriving there at 1601 on Monday afternoon.

 

[AndrewR232]

Up next, the 1641 Virgin Trains (West Coast) service to Flint, where we arrive at 1822 on Monday evening.

 

[me123]

This gives us plenty of time to join the Arriva Trains Wales service 1W95 to Holyhead, which duly arrives at 18:39. We take it all the way to its terminus Holyhead, arriving at 20:16 on Monday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board 1K20, the 2032 Arriva Trains Wales service to Crewe, arriving there at 2246 on Monday evening.

[me123]

We head towards Merseyside by boarding the 22:57 Virgin Trains service to Liverpool Lime Street, arriving at 23:39 on Monday evening.
