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 normalWTT.

I think that we are indebted to DanTrainMan185 for recently posting the above information point of clarification. The original game in its rules section did indeed show the matter in that section, but when the quiz was relaunched into its current format, the forum quizmasters re-wrote the rules section.

Just a question, not that it particularly matters, but why did we go back to Friars Walk when there were plenty of other places we could have gone?

I personally think it should be against the rules to go from A to B and then back to A unless no other option is available.
