There are several buses and coaches running all night through Nottingham. Please use these first.

The following attachment is a list of just the coaches! There are probably several more local buses too.

Some of you really aren't getting this game....

The rules allow a walk of up to around half a mile when changing modes if you wish to do so. Therefore we are at Loddon Church Plain where it is 1212 on Tuesday afternoon.

For reference:

Rules

• You may walk up to about half a mile when changing modes to a stop in the vicinity, if you wish.

We don't do holds on this game. The move in question has now been buried by two more moves, and I don't see any particular reason why we should roll them back.

It is however useful to note that the next time the game passes through Nottingham late at night that we can get the hell out much sooner than the first train, in the spirit of the rules.

The distance isn't the issue. It's the overnight break of journey.

We take the First X2 service from Lowestoft Rail Station at 1116 arriving Loddon Church Plain at 1212 on Tuesday afternoon.

We have a quick look around Loddon before crossing the street to board the 1221 First in Norfolk and Suffolk X22 bus back to Beccles, adj Caxton Road, arriving there at 1238 Tuesday afternoon.

 

[backontrack]

Did my X22 manage to reach 88mph and travel eighteen minutes into the past?

 

[OxtedL]

Edit:I think he meant the 12:55 instead - it arrives at 13:29.

I'll change it.

You see, people are always banging on about Optare Solos, but I never saw one do that!

Edit:I think he meant the 12:55 instead - it arrives at 13:29.

I'll change it.

Guilty as charged, thanks for changing it!

 

[DasLunatic]

We want to walk to Norwich railway station, but after seeing that it's almost a mile away, we decide not to bother. Instead, we wait for a few minutes and board the 1337 First Norfolk and Suffolk X2 bus for the four-stop hop to Norwich City Centre (St. Stephens Street, stop BA) arriving at 1342 Tuesday afternoon.

 

[backontrack]

Walking to the station, we board the 13:57 East Midlands Trains service to Widnes, arriving there at 19:05 on Tuesday evening.

 

[johnnychips]

This excursion into Norwich and Norfolk seems to be a disaster - can you really walk from near the Bus Station to the Railway Station in that time?

EDIT: having looked at Google Maps, and from my own experience, it is certainly more than half a mile, as per the rules on #1 of this thread

 

[Trainfan344]

Walking to the station, we board the 13:57 East Midlands Trains service to Widnes, arriving there at 19:05 on Tuesday evening.

We move on from one area with a dodgy reputation to another by catching the 19:23 Northern service to Warrington Central arriving there at 19:34 Tuesday Evening

 

[Springs Branch]

We take the 0.5 mile 11 minute walk to Sankey Street and board the 2000 Warrington Borough Transport service 28E to Leigh Bus Station arriving 2056 Tuesday evening.

Our first opportunity to ride the new guided busway?

 

[backontrack]

Indeed!

We board the 21:30 First Greater Manchester Vantage V1 guided bus service to Tyldesley (Astley Street), arriving there at 21:38 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I think you mean TYLDESLEY

We take the four minutes walk to the bus stop on Elllott Street and board the 2216 Stagecoach Manchester service 33 to Scholes (Warrington Lane/Hardybutts) that arrives there at 2244 on Tuesday evening.

It's a three minute walk around the corner to the bus stop near Vauxhall Street, Scholes. We are just in time for the 2252 Diamond service 715 to Lostock Junction, Junction Road West (the stop closest to Tempest Road), arriving 2323 Tuesday evening.
