I think it's quite obvious that we transferred from the bus stop outside into the railway station.... :roll:

Hi,
Just to be clear on this, the bus stop is not outside the station. As a result, you did need to post the distance walked.

Looks like it's just that you didn't realise how far the bus stop was from the station, but I hope this makes this absolutely clear for the future.

HOLD AGAIN

According to the heading, that service runs Sunday only commencing from 20th May until 2nd December.

Are we allowed to choose services that do not even commence for a further seven weeks?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Rules......You should use the first available service to reach your destination after allowing for the minimum interchange time.

Does this extract from the rules help with the current query?
