We then catch the 1524 CrossCountry service to Guildford, arriving at 1859 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The call of the sea beckons, so we next board the 1908 SWT service to Portsmouth Harbour that arrives at 2010 on Tuesday evening.

 

[James Wake]

A wait then beckons for the next direct train, but after plenty of time watching the sea we next board the 2140 Southern service to Crawley, where we alight at 2303 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A late evening train ride opportunity to a cathedral city sees us board the 2319 SN service to Chichester that arrives at 0013 on Wednesday morning.

 

[James Wake]

We then rest for the night before boarding the 0540 Southern service to Ifield, arriving at 0634 on Wednesday morning.

We then rest for the night before boarding the 0540 Southern service to Ifield, arriving at 0634 on Wednesday morning.

Alas there is onward transport from Chichester well before 0540 - an 0105 National Express 206 coach to Poole with stops en route. So let's take it to Ringwood Meeting House Lane and arrive at 0245 Wednesday morning

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0616 Wilts and Dorset service X3 to Bournemouth (Square), arriving there at 0650 on Wednesday morning.

 

[James Wake]

Ok, we now board the 0557 Morebus service X3 to Salisbury, Blue Boar Row, arriving 0632 on Wednesday morning.

I do not know how to strike through post/s, if anyone can tell me how, I'd be happy to do it.

Put S in square brackets at the start of where you wish this to occur and /S in square brackets at the end.

Um - There's a National Express departure from Ringwood at 0345 to Gatwick which I think we should have taken - at least part way

I can't take it as I got you there

 

[James Wake]

Ok, we carry on from Bournemouth on the 0658 Morebus service X1 to Lymington Bus Station, arriving 0837 on Wednesday morning.

Are we taking the Gatwick coach from Ringwood, good spot by dzug2. Plenty of moves available off that as well.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next change omnibus operator and board the 0930 Bluestar service 6 to Rushington (Manor Close) that arrives there at 1020 on Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Guys, sorry to sound naggy, but can we please stop suggesting alternative moves. I believe an overnight break of journey is allowed on this game. Several people are conflicting moves all the time and it's just causing disruption to game play and it's confusing too as we don't know where we are.

 

[James Wake]

We continue on the 1120 Bluestar service 6 to Southampton City Centre, West Quay, arriving at 1140 on Wednesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

From nearby Vincent's Walk, we then board the 1208 First Hampshire and Dorset service 8 to Hedge End (Railway Station), arriving there at 1258 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

We decide to leave this area and start afresh in the big city known a london, to do this, we board the 13:40 South West Trains service to London Waterloo arriving there at 15:10 Wednesday Afternoon

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next take a short train ride as we board the 1334 SWT service to Portchester that arrives there at 1353 on Wednesday afternoon.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
Noting the 15 minute minimum connection time here, we decide to board the 1530 SWT service to Petersfield that arrives there at 1634 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

We then head back towards London on the 16:57 SWT departure to Clapham Junction arriving there at 18:05 Wednesday Afternoon

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board 1L57, the 1827 South West Trains service to Salisbury, arriving there at 1948 on Wednesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Just time enough to catch the 1953 SWT to Exeter St David's that arrives at 2147 on Wednesday evening.

Invalid move unfortunately; this is the train I've just alighted off.

I'm not so sure it is allowed unless forced by lack of onward transport:

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

Admittedly it is sometimes difficult to tell what the first available service is (as in the case of Chichester/Ringwood a page or so back), sometimes easier (as in the case of Greater Manchester, Brighton or London which have a comprehensive night bus service.)

So if we are going to say that after a certain time in the evening you don't have to keep travelling, that needs to be made specific and a time defined

We decide to take the 2056 SWT to Chandlers Ford, arriving at 2155 Wednesday evening

 

[johnnychips]

Then after that, let's walk three minutes to The Precinct and get the number 1 Bluestar bus at 2212, arriving at Winchester, Bus Station at 2235 on Wednesday evening.

May I call a halt here.

My posting # 1970 showed an arrival time of 2147 at Exeter St David's, whereas this posting shows a departure time of 2056

Your departure from Salisbury was challenged as you left on the same train Dan arrived on. So you never got to Exeter. My 2056 departure was from Salisbury

Indeed this is so and all I can do is apologise.

As it is acceptable to use a service that terminated its previous route at a terminal point, it appears in order to use a new service in the opposite direction, so we next board the 2240 Bluestar service 1 to Otterbourne (The White Horse PH) that arrives there at 2254 on Wednesday evening.

 

[dzug2]

Assuming it's still a functioning hostelry, we adjourn to the White Horse for nearly an hour and emerge just in time to catch the 2354 Bluestar 1 service back to Chandlers Ford station, where we arrive at 2358 Wednesday evening

It was when I went there on the Winchester Vintage Running Day.

Having found there are no trains, there is still an onward bus option, the 0008 Bluestar service 1 to Winchester Bus Station, where we arrive at 0030 in the early hours of Thursday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We take the 0155 National Express 205 Coach from King Alfred's Statue to Heathrow Airport central bus station, arriving at 0315 Thursday morning

 

[Trainfan344]

A short wait before we board the 03:27 London United N9 service to Trafalgar Square/ Charing Cross (Stop F) Arriving there at 04:50 Thursday Morning
