Can we endeavour to be a little more creative rather than having journeys from A to B followed by a journey from B to A immediately afterwards, please.

Incidentally, did you note the time of departure that was stated in your last posting

 

[ValleyLines142]

Can we endeavour to be a little more creative rather than having journeys from A to B followed by a journey from B to A immediately afterwards, please.

I've also stated this in the past, although not many people have taken on my advice.

I actually think it should be forbidden to go back to where we have just travelled from, as not only is it not creative, but more importantly it's pointless and involves going back on the same services at times.

We then take the 13:48 CR service to Leamington Spa arriving at 00:18 on Wednesday morning.

Presuming that this is the 2348, and not the 1348, we then call it a night before boarding 1H05, the 0541 Chiltern Railways service to Haddenham & Thame Parkway, arriving there at 0622 on Wednesday morning.
