Seasalter is the terminus, so I think we are allowed to take the same service 5 back at 2007, arriving at Whitstable, Horsebridge, at 2015 on Tuesday evening.

May I be allowed to join in this?

I don't think that there's anything else that night, so from Station Approach opposite the Railway Station, Minster, we'll take the Stagecoach in East Kent No. 11 bus to The Street opposite the Dog And Duck, Plucks Gutter, leaving at 07.10 and arriving at 07.23 on Wednesday morning.

I'm told that this is incorrect, so please ignore it - apologies! (If I could find the strikethrough option, I'd use it ... but I can't!)

There is still a service to Tonbridge (2222, train 2W80) and a service to Ramsgate
(2312, train 2R74).

Everyone is free to join in. If you haven't already I recommend reading the rules of the quiz (found on page 1).

There is still a service to Tonbridge (2222, train 2W80) and a service to Ramsgate
(2312, train 2R74).

We take the 22:22 SouthEastern service to Ashford International arriving there at 23:00 Tuesday Evening.

We dolefully drag ourselves onto 1F89, the 00:15 EMT Meridian Service to Leicester. After a scenic view of such jumping nighttime hotspots as Luton, Corby & of course Whissendine, we arrive at 02:35 on Wednesday morning.
Leicester at 2:35 a.m. on a wet Wednesday in November - don't say I never take you anywhere!

We take refuge in a cold area of the platform and find it's less than a 2 hour wait until we board the 04:11 EMT service to Kettering arriving there at 05:04

We cannot re-board the final return service on that journey, as it departs at 0319, which less than the allowed 5 minute minimum connection time, so we wait for the first bus service of the day from these stances, which is the 0505 Stagecoach Manchester service 50 to Media City UK (The Lowry) that arrives there at 0550 on Thursday morning.

Leaving the station by the platform 4 exit and enjoying the panoramic view of the coach station/back end of Ikea we note the arrival of the 12:05 bluestar 7; which we subsequently alight at Sholing (Montague Avenue) at 12:31 on this Thursday afternoon, after the intriguing sight of a Persian restaurant in suburban Southampton
