Just a head's up. If any of you use Real Time Trains to plan your next moves if travelling by train I recommend setting the date for a day in January. This week there are significant works over the festive period and timetables are altered quite heavily, so services listed this week will not be from the normal WTT. 8th January sees buses replace trains between Three Bridges and Brighton.

From London Victoria, I think it's time we leave the capital and the South for now, so we walk around to Victoria Coach Station and board the 0730 National Express service 540 to Liverpool (Edge Lane Drive/Warnerville Road), arriving there at 1320 on Saturday afternoon.

Also, Merry Christmas to you all!

This is a cool game, can’t believe I never tried it before!

The 1955 Virgin Trains service takes us to Euston of the capital, arrival time 2210.

I’m sorry, I think that’s invalid because i took a Virgin train from Sandbach apparently which can’t happen, although I thought it said Piccadilly and a different time (A challenge did you change it?)

I think I’m going to go and look at the rules as I’ve never played this before I want to see what exactly I have to do.

Next is the 20:09 Northern service 2K38 to Sandbach, arriving 19:50 Saturday evening

This is the most recent valid trip so we walk out of Sandbach Station, to the stop at Elworth, nr Railway Station and take Arriva North West 37 service at 20:59 as far as Winsford, opp Asda where we arrive at 21:22 on Saturday evening.

Edit
Looking at the times the above train should arrive at 2050, I have therefore changed my times to reflect this.

A Challenge's and my own times have been amended, this is therefore the correct last entry with updated times.
