I am not sure the above move is within the rules. I can find buses which leave at 0638. It may be an opportune time to repost the below from the rules.

Rules

• You may not re-board the service just used in the previous post
• You should use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
• You shouldn't wait for more than two hours after the first available service (to any destination) has left, after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
  • Night services in the UK can be quite limited, so when the previous move arrives at its destination after 2300 you are allowed to wait until 0500 the next day if you wish.

I would suggest we may want to clarify the two hour rule for services first thing in the morning after the 5am cut off has ended.

Surely it goes against both the rules and the quiz etiquette to retrospectively attempt to make an amendment to a posting that has been made by another contestant.

 

[kevconnor]

It's certainly not my intention to fundamentally alter another person's post. The encouragement from the mods is normally to seek consensus on any issues, in this spirit I was trying to offer a potential amicable solution.

Sounds good to me.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Apologies if I sounded too pedantic but these days I am chary of acting against any advice given by the forum staff. Perhaps it will be advisable to see what DanTrainMan185 has to say about the posting he made as he does come to the quiz every day. He of course can edit his own posting.

A walk to an interchange isn't classed a transport mode I'm afraid.
