The Transport Game (UK)

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.

Nothing official to prevent this, part of the fun of the game! I think we’d reconsider if people were purposefully tooing and throwing between A and B in an “A-B-A-B-A-B…” fashion, but the above is fine.

It appears to be only the H59 and the X59

We appear to be at the stop at Willowdale Road, Firs Avenue, Pentrebane and there really isn't much happening at this time of night in this particular suburb of Cardiff so we take the next available Cardiff Bus service 61 back into town at 2050 as far as Cardiff Bus Station, o/s Wyndham Arcade Stop NA where we arrive at 2115 on Monday evening.

A bit of back and forth through the night going on here (better than just calling it a night), we will now go for the 03:42 2R05 Great Western Railway service back west to Twyford arriving at 04:20 on the Tuesday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]
