[ValleyLines142]

We then take the short walk over to the railway station and board 1F59, the 1931 Southern service to London Victoria, arriving there at 2058 on Wednesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We are mindful of the large station longer minimum connection time here, so we next board the 2122 SE service to Ramsgate that arrives there at 2326 on Wednesday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Catching the first service the next morning, we then board 1P03, the 0429 Southeastern service to Sittingbourne, arriving there at 0523 on Thursday morning.

[James Wake]

We next board the Go-Ahead London service 87 at approximately 0838 to Strand, Southampton Street bus stop arriving at 0851 on Thursday morning.

We then board the 0900 Metroline service 91 to Kings Cross Station (York Way), arriving there at 0933 on Thursday morning.

Also, could players please state the name of the bus operator in London who operate bus services. 'London Buses' is too vague, as there are several operators, such as Metroline, Arriva London, Stagecoach London, Tower Transit, etc. It's like saying we are boarding a First Great Western service to London Paddington, but we're just saying 'We next board the 0842 First service to London Paddington'. Similarly, Brighton's buses just trade as Brighton and Hove Buses, not as Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company. That is their official title when writing to them, but in terms of their operating name, and in terms of what is stated on the side of their vehicles, it's just Brighton and Hove Buses

'London Buses' is too vague.

I disagree - saying London Buses is completely unambiguous as to what service you mean, I'm sure you probably know. It gives you more than enough to find any information you require. Feel free through personal choice to keep using the specific operator if you wish.

Incidentally, I may not be the only one to find it very hard to read large blocks of italic text in this font. It might be useful to not do so - formatting is more useful on very small snippets of text (e.g. perhaps the start/end times of your move if at risk of being buried in a long post).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We then board the 0900 Metroline service 91 to Kings Cross Station (York Way), arriving there at 0933 on Thursday morning.

Noting that this large station has a 15-minute minimum connection time, we make our way into the station with enough time to board the 1000 EC service to Aberdeen that arrives there at 1706 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board 1E30, the 1818 East Coast service to Morpeth, arriving there at 2225 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A change of TOC and a short local rail journey awaits us as we next board the 2246 Northern service to Cramlington that arrives there at 2253 on Thursday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then call it a night before we make the eight minute walk to bus stop on Burdon Avenue, where we board the 0703 Arriva North East service 57 to Ashington (North Seaton Road), arriving there at 0728 on Friday morning.

Now, with that out of the way, I believe we are in Ashington?

I must admit I have thoroughly enjoyed our omnibus travelogue, as Paul calls them, in the north east

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Being thwarted by the less than 5 minute available connection time, we eventually board the 1807 Go North-East service 238 to Ryehope Village (Seaham Road) that arrives there at 1841 on Friday evening

 

[ValleyLines142]

That was the last 238 service of the day, in both directions, so we call it a night and the next morning we board the 0721 Go North-East service 238 to Sunderland (Interchange), arriving there at 0743 on Saturday morning.
