We then walk the 2 minutes (400ft) into the railway station, and take the 1253 Northern service to Preston, arriving at 1301 on Saturday afternoon

 

[Peter Kelford]

We then take the 1:41pm (13:41) service to Glasgow Central, pulling in at 15:59 on Saturday.

 

[DanNCL]

We then take the 1623 ScotRail service to Dalmuir, arriving at 1647 on Saturday afternoon

 

[Peter Kelford]

We take a scenic train next, the 16:41 to Mallaig. We arrive at 23:22 on Saturday Evening.

 

[DanNCL]

We decide to call it a night and take the Shiel Buses service 500 at 1110 from Mallaig Ferry Terminal to Fort William Bus Station, arriving at 1225 on Sunday afternoon

 

[Peter Kelford]

Are we allowed to leave it so late?

THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY

We have no choice on a Sunday in Mallaig. This is the first service on a Sunday; though of course I could have waited until 1605 for the first train instead

 

[Peter Kelford]

Ok, I see.

 

[A Challenge]

The Sunday service at Mallaig is terrible, though it would have been nice to get a ferry! We can go and see the Caledonian Canal, however.

We walk to the Middle Street Car Park to get the 12:41 Shiel Busses 515 service to Banavie (B8004 Junction), arriving at 12:55 Sunday afternoon.

From A830 At B8004 Junction, Banavie, we take Shiel Busses 515 at 1306 as far as Middle Street At Nevis Sport, Fort William where we arrive at 1324 on Sunday afternoon.

GUIDE NOTES

• If arriving by bus or coach then you should name both the service operator plus the area in addition to the stop name.
• Always end each posting with "the running quiz day of the week", noting how the previous posting was ended.
• If a move is discovered to be incorrect then the original post should be struck through and the correction made as a new post.
• Should the previous move leave you at a the end of a route for which there are no services timetabled to depart from then you may walk to the nearest stop where services are available.
• So the game remains realistic, you should use the current timetable for the relevant day not including timetable variations for engineering works.

As we have some new contestants on the quiz, these guide notes should be helpful to them.

From A830 At B8004 Junction, Banavie, we take Shiel Busses 515 at 1306 as far as Middle Street At Nevis Sport, Fort William where we arrive at 1324 on Sunday afternoon.

We take the ten minute walk to the leisure centre and board the 1401 Scottish Citylink service 915 to Uig (Uig Pier on the A87) that arrives there at 1750 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[kevconnor]

Can we please check, there maybe some confusion over what day it is above. Sorry Paul this isn't you, there are inaccurate entries, which I may have exacerbated by continuing the mistake when it has been corrected by A Challenge.


Any thoughts on what best to do from here as there could be the best part of 3-4 posts affected.

 

[DanNCL]

Can we please check, there mybe some confusion over what day it is above. Sorry Paul this isn't you there are multiple inaccurate entries above inc my own.

Any thoughts on what best to do from here as there could be the best part of 6-8 posts affected.

It's Sunday; the day in post 12579 is incorrect

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

It comes down to the community to point out any rule breaches, however this shouldn't hold up game play and it may not be necessary to return to the previous post, especially where there has been more than five moves (or 24 hours has elapsed) since the posting in question.

I think this extract from the rules/guide note section of this quiz should prove useful for clarification and we should just carry on from the last posting that was made.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the ten minute walk to the leisure centre and board the 1401 Scottish Citylink service 915 to Uig (Uig Pier on the A87) that arrives there at 1750 on Sunday afternoon.

This is the last valid posting and the one from which the thread should be continued.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We then take the Scottish Citylink service 916 to Portree Sq Isle of Skye arriving there at 18:30 on Sunday evening

 

[A Challenge]

Obviously they don't need transport on a Sunday evening as the next service appears to be the 09:10 Stagecoach North Scotland service 57A to Flodigarry (Road End), arriving at 09:48 Monday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Can I also just point out that post #12573 to Dalmuir was missed out in favour of post #12574 to Mallaig. That's three times this has happened on here in quite short succession, please be careful team!

Obviously there is nothing we can do now as many moves have progressed since, so we board the 1119 Stagecoach North Scotland service 57C to Portree (Scorrybreck Road), arriving there at 1152 on Monday morning.

 

[A Challenge]

I assumed the Mallaig was from Dalmuir as I thought they syoped there. Is it possible to amend the move so it works?

 

[Peter Kelford]

I continued to Mallaig from Dalmuir. It's on the same line. Just some clarity.

 

[Peter Kelford]

We take the old Stagecoach 57A 13:29 bus to Flodigarry, Road End. We arrive at 14:09 on Sunday. INVALID-NULL AND VOID

 

[Peter Kelford]

Um, Google Maps suggests the existence of said train...

 

[ValleyLines142]

I continued to Mallaig from Dalmuir. It's on the same line. Just some clarity.

Your service to Mallaig departed Dalmuir six minutes BEFORE we arrived at Dalmuir from Glasgow. I also can't find a 2322 arrival into Mallaig. Furthermore, it does not take almost seven hours to get from Dalmuir to there.

 

[Peter Kelford]

My bad, I incorrectly read the post.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the old Stagecoach 57A 13:29 bus to Flodigarry, Road End. We arrive at 14:09 on Sunday.

When making postings, always ensure that the "quiz day" continues onwards from the previous posting. As posting # 12589 was the previous one to yours, you will have noticed on that the "quiz day" was shown as being Monday morning, so you need to edit the posting above to read Monday...not Sunday.

This is not an insignificant matter, as timetables for Sunday are often different to those of the other days of the week.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We take the old Stagecoach 57A 13:29 bus to Flodigarry, Road End. We arrive at 14:09 on Sunday.

I literally do not know where to take us without being stranded so we return on the 1435 Stagecoach North Scotland service 57C to Portree (Somerled Square), arriving there at 1510 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Andy Pacer]

I was concerned we were going back and forth between the two points forever! We will now board the Scottish Citylink 916 leaving at 15:20 to Glasgow, Buchanan Bus Station arriving at 22:13 on the Monday evening.

 

[FQ]

As others have said, please ensure that the quiz day is correct before posting and make sure that you don't miss any previous posts that have been made before your one.

Game play to continue from here:

We will now board the Scottish Citylink 916 leaving at 15:20 to Glasgow, Buchanan Bus Station arriving at 22:13 on the Monday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2229 First Glasgow service 240 to Overtown (the bus stop opposite Greenknowe Street on Castlehill Road) that arrives there at 2359 on Monday evening.
