The Transport Game (UK)

[James Wake]

We next take the chance to go on a recently altered route, that goes past my Grandma's house in Fleet, the 1910 Stagecoach in Hants and Surrey service 7, which due to the lack of buses after it in Fleet, we go all the way to Aldershot Bus Station, arriving at 2020 on Saturday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Continuing our travels across Surrey, we then board the 2040 Stagecoach South Gold service 1 to Farnborough (Main) Station, arriving there at 2100 on Saturday evening.

 

[James Wake]

We then continue on the next Stagecoach South Gold route 1 at 2124, arriving at Camberley, Old Dean, Berkshire Road at 2150 on Saturday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

This will now seem a repeat of the Trent Barton "Swift" to-ing and fro-ing"..

We next board the 2220 Stagecoach South Gold Bus service 1 to Aldershot bus station that arrives there at 2310 on Saturday evening.

 

[alex17595]

We then walk into the station and take 2N80 the 2330 SWT Service to Ascot arriving at 0001 on Sunday Morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0013 South West Trains service 2C77 to Reading, arriving there at 0045 on the early hours of Sunday morning.

 

[James Wake]

Reading has a few 24 hour night bus services so we next board the 0100 Reading Buses Claret 21 to Christchurch Green, arriving at 0107 on Sunday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Taking advantage of this night-service, we board the 0137 Reading Buses Claret 21 service to Lower Earley (Beech Lane) that arrives there at 0149 on Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We have no option other than to board the 0200 Reading Buses service 21 back to Reading (Blagrave Road), arriving there at 0219 in the early hours of Sunday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We decide we've had enough of travelling back and forth on Reading night buses so to avoid more of the same we make our way to the station and take the 0703 FGW service to Sandhurst arriving at 0721 Sunday morning

Can I just ask for some adjudication on this, there are plenty of Reading night buses, and we can keep moving rather than stopping for nearly 5 hours.

Please do. I would point out however that others have gotten away with similarly circumstanced moves

I completely agree. As has been discussed previously on here, this game is all about moving around. It is an entirely fictional game; there is no need for 'overnight' breaks or other longer gaps. This should only have to take place if there are no services AT ALL in the settlement we are in, and especially in a city such as Reading which has plenty of services running all night, this is far from the case!

Not at all. Myself, and I imagine James, would query anyone on here over such a similar move.

I personally feel that we should continue from Blagrave Road. The 5, 17, 23 and 26 also run 24 hours, so we must be able to catch one of those (all of which also serve the station).

Post #4415? As commented on in #4418

Ok a smaller scale but the principle seems the same.

But continue on those Reading buses if you wish

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.

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

These are the posts in question.

 

[OxtedL]

Really guys, again?

Whilst it certainly appears possible to do a few more moves in Reading, they all look to lead to journeys as unimaginative as the 3 consecutive No. 21 bus journeys that just happened. dzug2 has told us his move was to break out of this, and seeing as the outcome at the end of the night was likely to be similar anyway, I suggest we respect this and continue from Sandhurst.

 

[James Wake]

Ok, if the coast is clear, I will continue from Sandhurst station and say we next take the 0818 First Great Western service to Wokingham, arriving at 0826 on Sunday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

A change of TOC sees us next board the 0838 SWT service to Martins Heron that arrives there at 0847 on Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

In my defence to the quoted move in North Wales, I wasn't aware of any other moves that may have existed, otherwise I would have used them.

We then head to a station which sees an immense range of services thus not needing any large gaps, as we board the 0917 South West Trains service 2C22 to Clapham Junction, arriving there at 1007 on Sunday morning.

 

[Springs Branch]

Bearing in mind the 10 min minimum connection time, we change to the 1021 London Overground train to Willesden Junction arriving at 1041 Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1051 London Overground service 2D82 to Watford Junction, arriving there at 1124 on Sunday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1142 LM service to Alsager that arrives there at 1449 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1514 East Midlands Trains service 1K02 to Derby, arriving there at 1621 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[johnnychips]

We then take the 1644 Cross CountryTrains service to Chesterfield arriving 1702 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1719 EMT service to Wakefield Westgate that arrives there at 1805 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Springs Branch]

We then board the 1828 VTEC service to Stevenage, alighting at 2007 Sunday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Still heading southwards, we board the 2035 GN service to Finsbury Park that arrives there at 2101 on Sunday evening.

 

[Springs Branch]

After all day on trains, we choose to exit to the station forecourt and board London General bus service 19 leaving at 2115 and alighting at Sloane Street / Knightsbridge Tube Station at 2211 Sunday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 2226 London United service 10 to Euston Station, arriving there at 2301 on Sunday evening.

 

[Springs Branch]

We go down to the Tube station and board the 2318 Northern Line train to Kentish Town arriving at 2323 Sunday evening.
