But we can't take any of them, Paul's posting arrived in fakenham at 07:28, thus ruling out a departure at 7:15 or 7:30, and the 7:50 doesn't call at Castle Meadow....

Ops sorry - I thought the night was spent in Fakenham - total misreading. I'll delete my post

We have time for breakfast before boarding the 08:35 Norfolk Green X29 service to Norwich (Castle Meadow) Arriving there at 09:39 Monday Morning

We next board the 1003 Anglian Bus service 7 to Great Yarmouth (Market Gates) that arrives there at 1045 on Monday morning.

We finally reach the town I was born in, although I haven't lived there since 1965!

We decide to take the First Norfolk and Suffolk service 8 at 1058 from the Market Gates bus station and alight at Caister Marram Drive where we arrive at 1121 on Monday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1126 First in Norfolk and Suffolk service 8 to Gorleston (opposite The Mews West) that arrives there at 1222 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Trainfan344]

We walk down to Links Road and board the 12:30 First in Norfolk and Suffolk service X1, to Lowestoft (Belle Vue Park) arriving there at 12:45 Afternoon. From the town where I was born to my hometown, not often were around here

 

[ValleyLines142]

Well assuming that's the stop Traveline call Bell Green Deedmore Road (time is identical) we return on the 8A at 2247 to Coventry Pool Meadow Bus Station, arriving at 2313 Friday evening

Although it is far too late to do anything about it now, can I just point out that Bell Green and Wood End are two completely seperate places and are about eight miles apart

I think that you have made a valid point here as when this new quiz was relaunched, it was hoped that constant stop-and-start problems that were really affecting the previous (and now locked) quiz would be a thing of the past.

But we must be mindful that NO challenges can be made after FIVE postings have elapsed after the said posting (See the supplementary second posting on this quiz with regard to the rules)

Apologies for the delay to this reply Paul, I hadn't noticed this.

You are correct, however in my cases there had been less than five postings that had elapsed when I had made a move which was then challenged.

I have to disagree - I have a map in front of me at the moment where their centres are maybe a kilometre apart and there is obviously a point where they join

There is a stop near a roundabout at the Deedmore Road/Hillmorton Road
junction that Traveline call Bell Green and the operator Wood End which I think is the stop both you and I meant

Not the first time traveline/the operator disagree on the name of a stop


Maybe there is more than one Bell Green or Wood End?

Actually they're about a mile apart, not eight! Google Mpas m ust have picked up another location by mistake.

You appear to have departed (1940) at exactly the same time as the arrival (1940) of the previous train.

Indeed I have, I've accidentally read the departure time of the previous service (1907) as the departure time!

Post has been edited.

We should continue from here:
