Are we in Reading at 0845 or Banbury at 0835???????????

 

[ValleyLines142]

Technically we should be at Reading as my post came first.

 

[jaffa840]

lets get away from reading and travel to Bristol on the gwr 0859 service and get there at 1015 on the Tuesday morning

 

[dzug2]

Temple Meads presumably

The 1030 XC service will speed (??) us northward to Alnmouth arriving at 1600 Monday Tuesday afternoon

 

[ValleyLines142]

Oh god no, this is going to end up in Scotland again and I will cry if it does.

We then board the 1702 CrossCountry service 1V70 to Gloucester, arriving there at 2201 on Tuesday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We make our way across the road to the bus station (Market Parade to be more precise) and catch the 2230 Stagecoach West service 94 to Cheltenham Promenade, arriving there at 2300 Monday Tuesday evening

Paul, leave jaffa840 alone.

I will leave such matters for you to deal with in future.

I was unaware of this new ruling that only certain accredited forum members could offer advice to new contestants upon this particular quiz

 

[johnnychips]

No idea what all the above is about, but we take the 2345 10 Stagecoach in Gloucester bus from The Promenade in Chelteham arriving Gloucester Market Parade/Station Rd at 0021on Wednesday morning.

 

[dzug2]

We head across the road to the station for the 0030 GWR service to Cheltenham Spa where we arrive at 0040 Wednesday morning

[ValleyLines142]

Fishquinn, do we really need to double back again, we just came from Fratton, there are plenty of rail, coach and bus options from Guildford. I'm not sure whether to post a move from Guildford or from Fratton now.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
I'm going to post one from Guildford, but am prepared to change it.

We next board from the Friary Bus Station the 1220 Arriva Surrey service 63X to Broadbridge Heath, Shelley Arms, arriving at 1318 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[FQ]

Sorry, I didn't actually see the last move was from Fratton!

In which case from Guildford we take the 1148 GWR service to Redhill arriving at 1223 on Wednesday afternoon.

The previous train arrived at 1145, so that is invalid, I'm afraid. I have posted a move on from Guildford. We are at Broadbridge Heath, Shelley Arms at 1318 on Wednesday afternoon.

 

[FQ]

Sorry. I will strike through now.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board from the Friary Bus Station the 1220 Arriva Surrey service 63X to Broadbridge Heath, Shelley Arms, arriving at 1318 on Wednesday afternoon.

[James Wake]

We have only 2 minutes to cross the road for a return service, so we unfortunately miss it and end up waiting an hour alongside the busy A24 before boarding the 1524 Metrobus service 93 to Dorking, White Horse, arriving at 1543 on Wednesday afternoon.
