Here we change operators and board the 0920 Stagecoach South service 17 to Littleworth (Mill Lane) that arrives there at 0945 on Saturday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1015 Stagecoach South service 17 to Horsham (Railway Station), arriving there at 1044 on Saturday morning.

 

[James Wake]

We next board the 1100 Metrobus service 23 to Bewbush Dorsten Square arriving at 1119 on Saturday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wishing to see the bus route that passes through Gossops Green, we next board the 1131 Metrobus service 1 to Broadfield (William Morris Way) that arrives there at 1209 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1216 Metrobus service 1 to Crawley (Bus Station), arriving there at 1234 on Saturday afternoon.

The railway is just across the road, and we walk there in time to catch the 12:47 1C16 Southern Trains service, bound for Portsmouth Harbour. We take the train as far as Chichester, and arrive at 13:34 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1405 Southern service 1J70 to Swanwick, where my good friend lives, arriving there at 1442 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[James Wake]

Next we board the 1511 SW Trains service to Fratton, arriving at 1537 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[me123]

We leave the station and make our way to the adjacent bus stop. At 15:44, we board the First Portsmouth, Fareham and Gosport 1 service, and take it to the seaside. We arrive at South Parade Pier, Southsea at 16:01 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1610 First Portsmouth service 7 to Wecock Farm (Blackbird Close), arriving there at 1718 on Saturday afternoon.

 

[me123]

We head back the way on the 17:38 Stagecoach South service 39, which we take for the full length of the route back to Havant Bus Station. We arrive at 18:17 on Saturday evening.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 1840 Stagecoach South service 700 to Littlehampton (Anchor Springs), arriving there at 2020 on Saturday evening.

 

[James Wake]

We then board the 1840 Stagecoach South service 700 to Littlehampton (Anchor Springs), arriving there at 2020 on Saturday evening.

That service seems to only go as far as Flansham Park, the one from Chichester gets to Littlehampton at 2020 https://tiscon-maps-stagecoachbus.s...th/Coastliner 700/Coastliner 700 web file.pdf

Page 9 of the official Stagecoach timetable, however, seems to imply that the service connects at Chichester between 1913 and 1932. I don't know if it is the same bus, though.

If it isn't, we will go as far as Chichester (Bus Station), arriving there at 1913.

 

[James Wake]

It is a separate service, Chichester and Portsmouth depots run the Bognor-Portsmouth section, Chichester depot runs the Littlehampton to Chichester, Worthing depot runs the Brighton to Arundel.

However so we are back in the same place I say we board the 1932 Stagecoach South Coastliner service 700 to Littlehampton, Anchor Springs arriving at 2020 on Saturday evening.

 

[dzug2]

We head for the rail station, where we take the 2114 Southern service to Clapham Junction arriving at 2252 Saturday evening

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2322 SWT service to Petersfield that arrives there at 0023 on Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

We then board the 0106 SWT service 2P79 to Havant, arriving there at 0121 in the early hours of Sunday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

What's happened guys?!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

What's happened guys?!

Having seen what the situation is with onward train journeys at this time on a Sunday morning, but having no idea whatsoever with regards to any bus or coach services at that time, I did not want to make a posting, only to be "shot down in flames" when it was proved to be wrong.

Could you summarise this Paul. I'm not quite sure what you mean?

You asked a question that appeared to be an open question and I in response, gave what I considered to be an honest answer. However, there are more contestants who could endeavour to make a posting should they so choose to do.

 

[OxtedL]

We then board the 0106 SWT service 2P79 to Havant, arriving there at 0121 in the early hours of Sunday morning.

A reminder that this was the last move.

 

[kevconnor]

Following the normal timetable (ignoring a slightly later than timetabled RRB) the next available service appears to be 1N05 0709 South West Trains service to Portsmouth Harbour where we arrive at 0726 on Sunday Morning.

 

[DasLunatic]

We leave the mainland by boarding the 0815 Wightlink catamaran service to Ryde Pier Head, arriving there at 0840 Sunday morning.

 

[NoMorePacers]

We then board the 0840 Island Line Ryde Pier Head-Shanklin, going as far as Smallbrook Junction.

it is the convention to say what time we arrive at and on what day.

Gameplay

The Aim of the game is to travel around the country using public transport in a pseudo-realistic fashion. To play, you must depart from the station or stop where the previous post arrived using a permitted timetabled public transport service. Having arrived at the destination, the minimum connection time for the station or stop must be allowed for. Where this is not published, a minimum interchange time is considered to be five minutes. In your post you should clearly state the time your service departs, the company who's service you are using and the time and day of arrival at your chosen destination.

Additional Notes

• If arriving by bus or coach then you should name the area in addition to the stop name.
• If a move is discovered to be incorrect then the original post should be struck through and the correction made as a new post.
• Should the previous move leave you at a the end of a route for which there are no services timetabled to depart from then you may walk to the nearest stop where services are available.
• So the game remains realistic, you should use the current timetable for the relevant day not including timetable variations for engineering works.

Perhaps this extract from the rules of this quiz could be useful to be posted at this point in time.

 

[Springs Branch]

We then board the 0840 Island Line Ryde Pier Head-Shanklin, going as far as Smallbrook Junction.

The other slight problem with this move is there is no 0840 train from Ryde Pier Head on Sunday mornings.

There is an 0849 departure in SWT's pdf timetable, but this train does not stop at Smallbrook Junction (and doesn't show up in the on-line NRE Planner for the next few weeks).

Where does this leave us? Still alighting the catamaran at 0840 Sunday morning?

 

[ValleyLines142]

Yes. From there, we walk down Union Road to the bus stop on Cross Street, where we board the 0908 Southern Vectis service 9 to Newport (Bus Station), arriving there at 0940 on Sunday morning.
