We're such frequent visitors to Bristol, the station staff know us by sight and give cheery waves as we transfer to ....

The 1850 GWR service towards Portsmouth, alighting in Salisbury at 2000 Sunday evening.

We just have enough time to board the 1214 Southern service 1J66 to Bognor Regis (dividing at Horsham into 2B68). On the basis we are travelling in the correct portion of the train, we arrive there at 1317 on Monday afternoon.

We leave this terminal station and take the short walk to the adjacent bus stop "J" on Longford Road and board the 1337 Stagecoach South Coastliner 700 service to Somers Town (Middle Street on Winston Churchill Avenue) that arrives there at 1514 on Monday afternoon.

Is this in Portsmouth?

All I can do is to refer you to posting # 8664 that was made as recently as 15th May 2016 when exactly the same location and bus stop was used by kevconnor and no-one seemed to query that at the time and the quiz carried on from there.

Or just say one of two words: yes or no?

I think I've found where we are anyway. We then board the 1719 First in Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport service 7 to Cosham (Health Centre), arriving there at 1757 on Monday afternoon.

Let us cease this quibbling over semantics and instead, look to ensue the thread moves ever onwards.

This is where this thread should continue from.

That leaves us plenty of time (given the dearth of eastbound trains) to make our way to the rail station for the 2131 Southern departure to Barnham, arriving at 2159 Monday evening

And why can't you continue? :)

Mainly because at that time, I was really feeling unwell and after the succession of postings not related to the actual continuation of the quiz, I had the courtesy to show which was the last valid posting. You will note that I went offline immediately after making that posting.
