We transfer onto the 22:12 TPE service 1T06 heading towards Scarborough, getting off at Seamer at 22:53 on Thursday evening.

Where are you getting this service? I can see a 2241 arrival (1P62 2024 from Manchester Airport) or a 2323 arrival which is apparently also 1T06 (1T06 2242 from York).

 

[A Challenge]

1T06 leaves York at 22:42 and arrives at 23:22 in Seamer. Do you mean that, as the only train from York at 22:12 is 5C07 22:00 York Siemens Trans Systems to York (that then goes via York Sig Y656), and is freight.

 

[me123]

Sorry, forgot to change the day on RTT It runs on Saturdays only. That clearly isn't right. However, when revising my answer, I cannot for the life of me find the previous train from Tiverton Parkway (1E63 appears to leave Tiverton at 16:38, and goes to Leeds via Doncaster avoiding York altogether).

I'm confused, so I'll sit on the naughty step for a few turns. I'll revoke my last move and leave you to it.

 

[A Challenge]

My move from Tiverton Parkway was also wrong, due to it being also Saturdays only!

Well 1E63 runs to Leeds in the week, so why don't we go there?

 

[A Challenge]

Lets go to Wakefield Westgate instead, also on 1E63, the 16:38 CrossCountry service, arriving at 20:46 Thursday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Exiting the station and walking around the corner to the bus stop at the end of Ings Road, we then board the 2051 Arriva Yorkshire 'Max' service 268A to Bradford (Interchange), arriving there at 2209 on Thursday evening.

 

[A Challenge]

Get the 23:50 National Express coach 465 to London, Golders Green (Bus Station, Stop GD/GE), arriving at 05:50 Friday morning.

 

[me123]

We enter the tube station at get on a Southbound Northern Line train towards Kennington, which leaves at 05:55. We alight at Mornington Crescent at 06:07 on Friday Morning.

I win :P

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0616 London General service 88 to Clapham Common Station, arriving there at 0655 on Friday morning.

 

[me123]

We decide against going onto the narrow tube platform at Clapham Common station during rush hour, and stick with buses for now. We make our way to Stop E and board the 07:05 Number 345 Abellio London bus. We alight at Brixton Police Station (Stop H) at 07:18 on Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0729 London Central service 35 to Shoreditch (Town Hall), arriving there at 0822 on Friday morning.

 

[me123]

We decide to take a walk, and walk the 0.4 miles to Hoxton station, which takes us about eight minutes. We make it just in time for the 08:36 London Overground service 9B11 to Highbury and Islington, alighting there at 08:48 on Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Moving away from the capital again, we then board the 0907 Great Northern service 2V33 to Welwyn Garden City, arriving there at 0948 on Friday morning.

 

[me123]

The adjacent bus station allows us to board an Arriva Herts & Essex 401 service to the strangely named Panshanger, and the next bus departs at 10:10. We get off at Panshanger Poplars stop, at 10:20 on Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

The 401 appears to be the only route serving this area (there are actually two additional services on Sundays only), and said service only really runs between here and Welwyn, so we hop back on the 1050 Arriva Herts & Essex service 401 to Welwyn (Broadwater Road), arriving there at 1104 on Friday morning.

 

[me123]

We transfer onto the 11:10 Uno 601 service to St Alban's Railway Station (apparently City), arriving at 11:38 on Friday morning.

 

[James Wake]

We next board the 1148 Thameslink service to Three Bridges, arriving at 1309 on Friday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1314 Southern service 1J70 to Bognor Regis, making sure we are in the correct portion of the the train as it splits at Horsham to form 2B72. We arrive at 1417 on Friday afternoon.

 

[me123]

At 14:38, we had over to Bus Stop J and board the Compass Travel 66 bus. This service takes us to Yapton Sparks Corner, arriving at 15:08 on Friday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1515 Stagecoach South 'Coastliner' service 700 to Littlehampton (Anchor Springs), arriving there at 1526 on Friday afternoon.

 

[me123]

A 0.2 mile walk to the West takes us to the railway station. We have plenty of time to catch the 15:44 Southern service 2E86 to Brighton, which take as far as the penultimate stop at Hove. When we leave the train, the time is 16:36 on Friday afternoon.

 

[johnnychips]

We walk the short distance to Hove Park Villas and take the 1647 Compass Travel 56 to Brighton North St arriving at 1659 on Friday afternoon..

 

[me123]

We walk to the nearby bus stop and board the 17:15 Brighton Regency 29X service to Tunbridge Wells. We stay on for almost the full journey and arrive at Tunbridge Wells Station at 18:49 on Friday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 2005 Arriva Kent and Surrey service 6 to Wateringbury (Wateringbury Hotel), arriving there at 2055 on Friday evening.

 

[me123]

Despite having a plethora of bus services serve this village, only one appears to do so at this time of evening. We stop in at the adjacent pub, The Wateringbury, for a drink while we contemplate our next move. The rules state that we must keep travelling, and the only service left tonight is another Arriva Kent & Surrey 6 bus going back the way we came. The bus pulls up at 21:44, and takes us to Paddock Wood Hot Pocket Lane, arriving at 22:00 on Friday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I was getting really confused as I couldn't find said location, but it's actually Hop not Hot Pocket Lane!

As I've now found the correct location, we take the short walk to the station, where we board the 2230 Southeastern service 2R76 to Folkestone Central, arriving there at 2324 on Friday evening.

 

[johnnychips]

We take the 2330 Southeastern Trains service to Deal arriving 2359 on Friday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We are still able to continue around the East Kent coast, so we board the 0101 Southeastern High Speed service 1J76 to Ramsgate, arriving there at 0119 in the early hours of Saturday morning.
