The Transport Game (UK)

[Esker-pades]

Public transport is very limited in that area, so we go one stop back to the shack that is Fearn on the 14:08 service, arriving there at 14:14 on a Sunday.

 

[DanTrain]

Again, it being Sunday, we have no choice other than to board the 15:11 ScotRail service 2H62, taking it to Alness, arriving at 15:29 Sunday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1621 Abellio ScotRail service 2H93 to Invergordon, arriving there at 1626 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[DanTrain]

Now we board the 16:31 ScotRail service 2H90 to Beauly, arriving at 17:06 Sunday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1732 Abellio ScotRail service 2H84 to Inverness, arriving there at 1750 on Sunday evening.

 

[DanTrain]

We then board the 17:54 ScotRail service 2H65 (formed of same train I think so ok) to Wick, arriving at 22:07 Sunday evening.

It's not the same train, and minimum connection time at Inverness is 5 minutes. The 1754 is formed from an earlier originating service from Wick.

 

[Esker-pades]

We then board the 1732 Abellio ScotRail service 2H84 to Inverness, arriving there at 1750 on Sunday evening.

The 17:32 arrives at Inverness at 17:47.

 

[DanTrain]

We then board the 1732 Abellio ScotRail service 2H84 to Inverness, arriving there at 1750 on Sunday evening.

Leaving to the adjacent bus station, we then board the 18:00 Scottish CityLink service 919 to Urquhart Castle, arriving at 18:40 Sunday evening.

 

[DanTrain]

The 17:32 arrives at Inverness at 17:47.

I imagine it still fouls minimum interchange time to be fair.

 

[Esker-pades]

I imagine it still fouls minimum interchange time to be fair.

17:47 to 17:54. 7 minutes. The minimum change time is 5 minutes. It is possible.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 2051 Shiel Buses service 513 to Fort William (Bus Station), arriving there at 2205 on Sunday evening.

Hold on, my 1st post is now valid, so we’re in Wick, I’ll reinstate it.

 

[Esker-pades]

To clarify:
We boarded the 17:32 from Beauly to Inverness, which arrived at 17:47, not 17:50. Therefore, we were allowed to board the 17:54 from Inverness to Wick. Therefore, we are now in Wick, with the last valid posting being this:

We then board the 17:54 ScotRail service 2H65 (formed of same train I think so ok) to Wick, arriving at 22:07 Sunday evening.

Public transport has stopped for the day, so we must too. We take an overnight in Wick before boarding the first ScotRail of the morning south to Kildonan. We depart Wick at 06:18 and arrive at Kildonan at 07:47 on a Monday.

 

[DanTrain]

We’re then stuck here until the 09:33 ScotRail service 2H56 to Golspie, arriving at 10:12 Monday morning.

 

[Esker-pades]

Could be worse. The way the timetables work, I'll be there for over 4 hours in September.

We pop out of the station to the Hospital Road End bus stop where we board the 10:21 D+E Coaches route 906A to Lairg Post Office, arriving there at 10:50 on a Monday.

 

[DanTrain]

Here, we choose to wait for the 12:30 ‘The Durness Bus’ service 806 to Kinlochbervie, at Harbour, arriving at 14:00 Monday afternoon.

This must be one of the more remote spots this game has got to!

 

[Esker-pades]

Given that we just did Kildonan, I'm willing to contest that point! However, the public transport leaves a lot to be desired.

Our only option is to wait for the 19:27 Durness Bus route 804 to Durness Visitor Centre, arriving there at 20:05 on a Monday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

That was the last bus of the day, so the following morning we board the 0804 Durness Bus service 806 to Lairg (Railway Station), arriving there at 1028 on Tuesday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We take the three minute walk to the bus stop opposite the Post Office on Main Street and board the 1100 Stagecoach Highlands service 62 to Tain (the bus stop opposite the Shell garage on Knockbreck Road) that arrives there at 1153 on Tuesday morning.

 

[DanTrain]

We then grab a bite to eat, before boarding the 13:24 Stagecoach North Scotland service X99 to Lybster, Post Office, arriving at 15:03 Tuesday afternoon.

 

[318266]

We then want to go to Wick, taking the 1606 Stagecoach North Scotland service 175 to Wick, Bus Terminal arriving at 1639 Tuesday afternoon

 

[DanTrain]

Here, we take some time to look round Wick, before boarding the 17:25 Stagecoach North Scotland service X99 to Scrabster, Ferry Terminal, arriving at 18:04 Tuesday afternoon.

 

[318266]

Which stop in Scrabster?

 

[DanTrain]

Which stop in Scrabster?

Now edited, sorry!

 

[318266]

We then stay on the bus and board the 1805 Stagecoach North Scotland service X99 to Thurso, St George's Street Church, arriving at 1811 Tuesday evening

 

[DanTrain]

There’s remarkably little happening here transport-wise, so we decide to sinply hop on the Stagecoach North Scotland service 81 to Thurso, Royal Bank of Scotland, arriving a whole minute later at 18:21 Tuesday evening.

 

[Esker-pades]

We then board the 20:15 Stagecoach North Scotland route 82 to Georgemas Junction, arriving there at 20:29 on a Tuesday.

 

[DanTrain]

Here, we have little choice other than to board the 22:12 Stagecoach North Scotland service 82 to Wick, at Bus Terminus, arriving at 22:37 Tuesday evening.
