We next decide to visit a settlement with a large National Trust estate which has a great house, so we board the 1105 Stagecoach South service 1 to Petworth (Market Square) that arrives there at 1212 on Monday afternoon.

I knew you'd be back Paul; you always do this :lol:

This time was to see how I could manage to continue without causing any undue problems for other contestants.

There are 700s before this and the actual arrival time is 1955 at the Old Steine, having checked the timetable, as its a move I would have done,

I would suggest we continue on the 1752 Stagecoach South service 700 to Brighton Old Steine, arriving 1925 on Monday evening.

There was just this one (the 1752) beforehand; I don't really consider it a major issue to be honest.

Besides, the 1830 was actually (according to Traveline) the next 700 anyway.

Not saying this as a dig but in the future, I wouldn't bother taking matters into your own hands unless it breaks the two hour rule at stops; to change it over a difference of just over half an hour really wasn't worth it. If you're not happy with a move I would speak to the Quizmasters.

We enter the railway station and board the 2028 SN service to Moulsecoomb that arrives there at 2103 on Monday evening.

But anyway, not to worry. We then make our way to the Brighton University bus stop and board the 2135 Brighton and Hove Buses service 23 to Brighton Marina, arriving there at 2154 on Monday evening.

Rules
You should use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
I was referring to this rule, I will contact the quizmasters next time if there are any problems.

Nice move made Dan, and I'll continue by saying we next board the 2219 Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company service 21 to Hove Palmeira Square, where we alight at 2259 on Monday evening.

I accidentally break my leg whilst getting off the N25, so we hop (literally) on the 0149 Brighton and Hove Buses service N7 to Royal Sussex County Hospital (where I may need an operation), arriving there at 0208 in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Its quite nice to be going round an area I know well, and the bus system too :)
We then wait a while for Paul's leg to be healed, then walk down to Paston Place on the seafront, and board the 0327 Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company service N12 to Hampden Park Station where we arrive at 0425 on Tuesday morning.

Same. I've been going to Brighton on holidays every single year since I was a baby. My Dad loves the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run that takes place on the first weekend in November, so we've gone down every year. As such, our knolwedge of the buses, and the local area in general, has much been within our favour.

It's my leg that went, not Paul's! :lol:

After that we take the First South Yorkshire X78 from Sheffield Interchange at 0955 to Conisbrough Castle (Castle Hill stop) arriving 1056 on Tuesday morning. Let's hope Dan can get up the finest Norman keep in the UK with his leg in plaster after his Brighton escapades.

The exertion being too much to contemplate, we then take the short walk to Church Street, where we board the 1103 Stagecoach Yorkshire service 222 to Doncaster (Duke Street) that arrives there at 1124 on Tuesday morning.
