We see the 66 bus (operated by Arriva Southend on behalf of TfL) drive off just as we leave the station. We wait for the next one, pulling in at 07:35 staying with it until it reaches its terminus at Romford Station later that Thursday morning at 08:13.

After twenty minutes of trainspotting in Romford, we decide to board another of TfL's newly acquired services - the 0841 London Overground service to Upminster. It arrives at 0850 on Thursday morning.

 

[me123]

Then onto the District Line service, departing at 08:57. We alight at Westminster at 09:53 on Thursday morning.

Google gives me a transfer time of one minute, so...
We head onto the Tube proper and board the 0958 Jubilee Line service, where we alight at West Hampstead. We arrive at 1011 this beautiful Thursday morning.

 

[AndrewR232]

We walk to the Thameslink station in time for the 1026 Thameslink service to Wimbledon, arriving 1116 on Thursday morning.

 

[me123]

We then wander over to Platform 4 and board the 1234 SWT service to Portsmouth Harbour. We arrive at 1333 on Thursday afternoon, ready for a trip to the Isle of Wight.

 

[me123]

Although the weather in London was quite beautiful, it's rather choppy down here in Portsmouth and the ferries are cancelled. So we wander over to "The Hard" interchange (interesting name...) and, at 13:45, we board a First Hampshire number 14 service to Portsmouth College where we arrive at 14:14 on a cold, wet Thursday afternoon.

We take the 1345 ferry to Gosport ferry terminal arriving at 1352 Thursday afternoon

Rules

• You may not re-board the service just used in the previous post
• You should use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time.
• 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.
• You may walk up to about half a mile when changing modes to a stop in the vicinity, if you wish.
• The use of cars, taxis, planes or helicopters is not allowed.
• The playing area includes only mainland Great Britain. This includes any landmass connected to Great Britain by bridge or tunnel (excluding the Channel Tunnel).

This is now an opportune time to ask all contestants to note the emboldened section of the rules of this quiz, as there appears to be a little confusion on that very matter.
