I had to leave the website at 2100 last night, having taken us to Keighley bus station and looking to a run of journeys in that area, but was not able to return to the website until almost 0300 to find an extremely wide area variation had been made and that we are in Bristol bus station... :roll:

A quick perusal of our local bus timetables shows quite limited options here outside of the peak so we stay in the train station and take 1P32 Southeastern Service at 1129 as far as Sittingbourne where we arrive at 1213 on Friday lunchtime.

I have no idea where the bus stop for Rookwood Road is .

If you look at the TfL route map for the Arriva London service 349, you will find it is shown as being the bus stop after the one on Egerton Road.

We then board the 1808 Arriva London service 393 to Chalk Farm (Morrisons), arriving there at 1855 on Friday evening.

QUERY IN NEED OF RESOLUTION

Normally, we just say that we will use the normal timetable in cases of certain disruption, but this Southern completely rescheduled area franchise timetable that allows for the hundreds of train services they have withdrawn is a totally different kettle of fish, as it seems this is now the new official timetable of that franchise

ADJUDICATION REQUESTED.

Would a similar circumstances be the temporary timetable during leaf fall on some lines? If so, how do we normally treat these?

Such a temporary "leaf fall" timetable as you state is naught compared to the major timetable changes that come from Southern as a result of the hundreds of now-planned service cancellations that have been presented as a fait accompli by that TOC.

I have brought the matter to the attention of the forum quizmasters.

We play on with either journeys as listed in the eNRT (or equivalent) for the current timetable period, or any journeys implemented through long term changes to this as a result of decisions made by Govia Thameslink Railway.

It is permissible, in this pseudo-reality game whereby no real person is travelling, to reference either timetable.
