While approaching Southampton, we eye up Anthem of the Seas docked just upstream, for a service to the States. We also see one Inspector Sidorczuk in the captain's quarters, so we instead board the 0944 BlueStar Citylink to Southampton Central, arriving at 0950 Sunday morning.

It can't be that long now....

We double back on the 1345 Southern service to Sydenham, arriving 1430 on Sunday afternoon.

PS. It's actually Tattenham Corner... ;)

Good old autocorrect. Again.

We next board the 1446 LO service to Dalston Junction that arrives there at 1517 on Sunday afternoon.

Well, I think it's time for a bus. So we leave the station and a TfL number 56 service (operated by Stagecoach London) arrives at 14:41. We ride the bus to its terminus at Whipps Cross (Roundabout), arriving at 15:17 on Sunday afternoon.

It's a four minute walk to Fenchurch Street station, where we board the 18:10 c2c service 2B46 towards Shoeburyness. We alight at Basildon at 18:45 on Sunday evening.

It's a six minute walk to Charrington steps, giving us time to catch the 18:24 number 474 Dockland Buses service. It takes us to London City Airport, arriving there at 18:32 on Sunday evening.

We appear to have a problem once again...:roll:

The posting PRIOR to this one saw a train arriving at Dalston Junction at 1517 on Sunday afternoon.

I think the emboldened extract below from the rules answers this query quite sufficiently:

It comes down to the community to point out any rule breaches, however this shouldn't hold up game play and it may not be necessary to return to the previous post, especially where there has been more than five moves (or 24 hours has elapsed) since the posting in question.

We're tempted to board FlyBe flight 3523 to Bordeaux, but after seeing the queue for check-in, we decide to instead board the 1142 SWT service to Weymouth, arriving at 1315 Monday afternoon.

How about going to the Channel Islands?
