However, after visiting Bristol not long ago, we board the 1000 FGW service to London Paddington, arriving at 1139 Tuesday morning.

Firstly, I cannot remember the last time we were in Bristol. This game always seems to be based in London or Manchester.

Secondly, why not take the 0930 to Paddington?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The second of the six rules on the very first posting on this quiz is rather self-explanatory on that matter.
