The Transport Game (UK)

[bnsf734]

Blimey - this game moved quick!

This move has been well and truly superceded!

We then take the Kirkby Lonsdale Coaches 581 service departing at 1655 and alight at Settle Market Place, arriving there at 1735 on Tuesday afternoon.

Amendment to follow

STOP - too many people posting

Right, we've split off into two separate factions here. AIUI, I made a post following on from Dan's. I was beaten to it by Paul, so have altered my post. At the same time, DasLunatic made a move from Poulton in good faith, followed on by Andrew's move. BNSF has then followed on from my post.

I think therefore that the most sensible post to continue from would be BNSFs, (following on from mine), and to ignore the excursion to Preston and on to Euston unless anyone has any objections?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We make a 4 minute walk to the railway station and board the 1629 Northern service to Preston, arriving at 1649 Tuesday afternoon.

HALT CALLED

The previous posting arrived at 1630.

 

[DasLunatic]

From here, it's time to head underground and board the 2055 Northern Line service to Kennington, arriving at 2117 Tuesday night.

I posted first, then Me did. I then altered my post to correct a typo.

We are at Kennington at 21:17 Tuesday evening.

 

[bnsf734]

HELP!

I am totally confused as to where we are now. I looks like we had 2 conflicting moves in Blackpool so I am not sure which was the correct one, but I believe taking the posts in strict chronological order we are actually at Blackpool Victoria Hospital where we arrived at 1630

We are currently sitting in A&E recovering from tonights game!

Am I correct?

 

[me123]

Ach, too many of us active at the same time! As I've said, we split into two "groups" after a couple of simulposts. We need a definitive plan. I think I'll give up - it's moving far too fast!

Perhaps we aren't ready to go international after all (Only kidding mods, we still want to explore the world!).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

For the sake of everyone's sanity, we need someone to look at all the past postings and make a decision of EXACTLY which was the last valid posting.

Can I suggest a complete cessation of postings until that adjudication is made.

 

[me123]

OK, we've clearly all given up!

I suspect the last post that we can all agree to be valid is Paul's post below:

We next board the 1455 Stagecoach in Lancaster service 42 to Poulton le Fylde (Stop 2 at St Chad's Church) that arrives there at 1613 on Tuesday afternoon.

In the interests of maintaining momentum, may I suggest that we restart from here? If anyone has another suggestion, then by all means go ahead!

 

[bnsf734]

Thats fine by me. I add my agreement.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Guys what on earth happened last night?!

From Poulton Church, we then board the 1629 Blackpool Transport service 2C to Blackpool (Church Street), arriving there at 1655 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[AndrewR232]

Right, let's try again...

We change to the 1708 Blackpool Transport service 11 to Squires Gate station, arriving 1739 on Tuesday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1809 Blackpool Transport service 7 to Bispham (Library), arriving there at 1841 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Changing services, we next board the 1856 Blackpool Transport service 9 to Cleveleys (Clarence Avenue) that arrives there at 1908 on Tuesday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Taking the ten minute walk (and 0.5 miles away) to the bus stop on Lincoln Avenue, we then board the 1933 Blackpool Transport service 3 to Marton (Cherry Tree Road), arriving there at 2022 on Tuesday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

After taking the five minute walk to the bus stop on Paddock Drive, there is the opportunity to use the Blackpool south circular bus, so we board the 2036 Blackpool Transport service 16 to its terminus of Blackpool (Corporation Street) that arrives there at 2050 on Tuesday evening.

 

[bnsf734]

We walk to bus stop CO1 and take the Stagecoach in Lancashire service 61 departing at 2130 and alight at Kirkham, Market Square where we arrive at 2209 on Tuesday evening.

Perhaps, if there are lots of you playing, it might be wise to refresh the page before you post to check and see if anyone else has posted in the meantime?

A rather good suggestion! I always leave it a few minutes if I know it's a busy time on here!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We walk to bus stop CO1 and take the Stagecoach in Lancashire service 61 departing at 2130 and alight at Kirkham, Market Square where we arrive at 2209 on Tuesday evening.

We next board the 2235 Coastal Coaches service 78 to Lytham (Grosvenor Street) that arrives there at 2254 on Tuesday evening.

Believe it or not, I did do that!

Anyway, nice to see us playing again.

We next board the 2235 Coastal Coaches service 78 to Lytham (Grosvenor Street) that arrives there at 2254 on Tuesday evening.

We continue with a quick change onto the 2302 Blackpool Transport service 11 towards Lytham Road, Blackpool (os Farmers Arms). It arrives at 23:34 on Tuesday evening.

 

[AndrewR232]

Spending the last 7+ hours travelling on buses round Blackpool and the surrounding area leaves us very tired, so we call it a night here.

In the morning, we walk to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Not the funfair, but rather the rail station of the same name. From here, we take the 0521 Northern service to Nelson, arriving 0703 on Wednesday morning.

 

[bnsf734]

We then take the short walk to the Bus Station and take the 0725 Burnley & Pendle service 25 to Keighley Bus Station where we arrive at 0834 on Wednesday morning.

 

[AndrewR232]

A short walk to the railway station sees us take the 0912 Northern service to Settle, arriving 0948 on Wednesday morning.

 

[me123]

Changing back onto the bus network, we make a short walk to the market place and board the 10:30 Kirkby Lonsdale Coach Hire 580 bus service to Skipton Bus Station, arriving there at 11:10 on Wednesday morning.

 

[AndrewR232]

The bus-rail-bus-rail pattern continues as we walk to the railway station for the 1147 Northern service to Leeds, arriving 1228 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[backontrack]

The pattern ceases as we board the 13:12 First TransPennine Express service to Scarborough, alighting at 13:36 on Wednesday afternoon at York.

 

[FQ]

We then board the 14:57 NR service to Hull arriving at 16:24 on Wednesday afternoon.
