Next move from Llanberis is Express Motors Service 85 at 1800 to Deiniolen (Rhydfadog), arriving 1815 Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Keeping the same operator, but using a different service, we take the two minutes walk to the bus stop on High Street, where we next board the 1904 Express Motors service 83 to Caernarfon bus station that arrives there at 1921 on Thursday evening.

 

[Springs Branch]

Returning in the general direction from which we came, we board Clynnog & Trefor Motor Company's Service 12 at 2035 from Caernarfon (Bangor St) to Pwllheli (Station Square), arriving 2115 Thursday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We take the 2135 Arriva service 3 bus to Criccieth Y Maes, arriving at 2158 Thursday evening

 

[ValleyLines142]

How the fudge are we back in North Wales? Why are we going backwards?

We then call it a night before boarding the 0723 Arriva Cymru service 3 to Porthmadog (High Street), arriving there at 0740 on Friday morning.

How the fudge are we back in North Wales? Why are we going backwards?

Put it like this.....would you rather have a two-week holiday in Wolverhampton (from where we recently escaped on this quiz) or two-weeks in Porthmadog....

The former, of course

 

[dzug2]

We take the 0747 ATW train to Dovey Junction arriving at 0946 Friday morning

Someone else can have the pleasure of taking us back to Wolverhampton should they so desire

I do also have the problem of when it is reasonable to stop travelling for the day (as at Criccieth last night) when onward transport is still available

 

[bnsf734]

We then take the 0952 Arriva Trains Wales departure to Machynlleth where we arrive at 0958 and watch our class 158 join the class 158 we got off at Dovey Juction! All this happens on Friday morning.

 

[backontrack]

Should we wish to escape Wolverhampton further, we take the 12:04 Arriva Trains Wales service to Birmingham International, arriving at the station there at 14:48.

 

[dzug2]

We then take the 1453 Virgin service to Penrith North Lakes, arriving at 1746 Friday evening

 

[backontrack]

The 18:15 X4 bus service, operated by Stagecoach, arrives us at Cockermouth Main Street at 19:44.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 2029 Stagecoach in Cumbria service X5 to Workington (Bus Station), arriving there at 2052 on Friday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We return to Keswick Bus Station on the 2115 X5 service, arriving at 2213 Friday evening

 

[ValleyLines142]

We can only return on the 2315 Stagecoach in Cumbria service X5 to Thornthwaite (Swan Hotel), arriving there at 2326 on Friday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We continue on the next X5 from Thornthwaite to Cockermouth Main Street at 0026 , arriving there at 0044 Saturday morning

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then call it a night before boarding the 0927 Stagecoach in Cumbria service 600 to Carlisle (Bus Station), arriving there at 1029 on Saturday morning.

 

[dzug2]

In that case, it's the 0927, arriving at 1029.

HOLD

But that's nearly 4 hours after the first bus of the day out of Cockermouth, an X5 at 0538. Surely the limit is 2 hours?

This is getting silly, let's not hold up the game… play on please. We are at Carlise Bus station and its 10:29 on a Saturday morning.

End of debate on the matter, normal game play to resume with this move:

We then walk over to the train station in time for the 11:02 Virgin Trains service to London Euston (via Birmingham New Street) which gets us in at 15:34 that Saturday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Exiting the station, we then board the 1553 London General service 476 to Stamford Hill Broadway, arriving there at 1638 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[bnsf734]

We then board the London Buses service 76 departing at 1650 and alight at Dalston Junction station where we arrive at 1705 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[AndrewR232]

We enter the station and board the 1722 London Overground service to Canada Water, arriving 1737 on Saturday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1756 LO service to West Croydon that arrives at 1833 on Saturday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We take the 1845 Southern service to Carshalton Beeches, arriving at 1853 Saturday evening

 

[Springs Branch]

We change to the 1845 Southern service to Carshalton Beeches, arriving 1853 Saturday evening.

What are the chances of that? - two identical journeys in Network South East territory, chosen completely independently!
Anyhow, no doubt where we are.

--- old post above --- --- new post below ---

Outside the station we board London General bus 154 at 1905, arriving Morden Tube Station at 1928 Saturday evening.

 

[dzug2]

Chances are higher than you might first think - perhaps great minds think alike........

Anyway we take the TfL Northern Line service at 1936 to Golders Green, arriving at 2028 Saturday evening

 

[Springs Branch]

Outside the tube station we return to the big red buses by taking the 2049 London Sovereign service 13 to Swiss Cottage Tube Station, arriving 2113 Saturday evening.

 

[AndrewR232]

We enter the station and board the 2119 Jubilee line service to London Bridge arriving 2134 on Saturday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then enter the tube station and board the 2144 Jubilee Line service to North Greenwich, arriving there at 2153 on Saturday evening.

Is this a chance for us to go on the Emirates Air Line?!

 

[James Wake]

We next board the 2210 Go-Ahead London service 108 to Lewisham, Clock Tower, arriving at 2231 on Saturday evening.
