Sorry, needed to edit this as you beat me to it.

That service actually arrives at 2343, and that is it for the night, so we then board the first bus of the day on Sunday, which is the 1029 Stagecoach Newcastle service X78 to Kenton Bar (Ponteland Road/Hazeldene Avenue), arriving there at 1040 on Sunday morning.

We bide for the night, then catch the 10:29 Stagecoach North East service to Newcastle Airport, Ponteland Road arriving at 10:33 on Sunday morning.

Is that the first bus in the morning?

 

[RomeoCharlie71]

It seems like it unless I've missed something blatantly obvious.

OK

Now we walk to Newcastle Airport Metro Station and board the 11:24 Tyne and Wear Metro Green Line rail service to Regent Centre, arriving there at 11:36 on Sunday morning.

Hang on, you've missed my move on the same service to Kenton Bar.

 

[RomeoCharlie71]

The rules state, however:

If a move is discovered to be incorrect then the original post should be struck through and the correction made as a new post.

 

[backontrack]

I haven't - I've gone from the most recent previous move, which was made by @ross4122.

We bide for the night, then catch the 10:29 Stagecoach North East service to Newcastle Airport, Ponteland Road arriving at 10:33 on Sunday morning.

We are currently at Regent Centre Metro Centre (Great North Road).

CAN I CALL A HALT

Posting # 14401 states an arrival time of 1040

Posting # 14402 states a departure time of 1029

Something seems wrong.

 

[backontrack]

CAN I CALL A HALT

YES YOU CAN

May I ask whether @DanTrainMan185's move was retrospectively edited - and whether this change was made after @ross4122 had posted a new move?

This post is also missing a route number - I take it that this is a different stop on the X78?

My post was edited straight away before a new love was posted.

 

[backontrack]

At the risk of seeming facetious, I'll state that we were actually doing better at avoiding this sort of disruption when we were in the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

Perhaps we have developed an immunity to Lybster Omnibus Syndrome - but a return to the levels of public transport service frequency that bustling Ponteland receives in comparison to the islands of Jura and Colonsay has provided us with a shock to the system?

Did you really mean to say what you have done above...

This is what happens when we spend the night in Ponteland!

The rules state, however:

@DanTrainMan185, we do enjoy a degree of informality on this game with our lack of any formal adjudicators - but it is important that the rules are adhered to. Please make sure that you post any corrections in a new post in future - I'm sure that we also appreciate that you were unlucky with the timing of your edit, but we can avoid incidents like these in the future if everyone follows the rules.

Where should we recommence from?

Love can affect people in many different ways, but causing them to misread bus timetables is a new one on me !

Correct, my bad, this was the X78.

Where are we at just now?

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

My final thought on this matter before being offline in Eastbourne, noting what you say above, is to ask that any posting that then will be needed to be struck-through is done so.

Um no, because even if I crossed out my original post and placed a new one it still would have been too late.

Where should we recommence from?

Well it transpires that the journey on the X78 to the airport was first, so shall we stick with that and the subsequent move to Regent Centre?

 

[RomeoCharlie71]

In that case, then, we catch the 11:56 Arriva North East service X18 to Newcastle, Haymarket Bus Station arriving at 12:06 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We then join the 12:37 Arriva North East service X8 to Cramlington, Shops arriving there at 13:22 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[RomeoCharlie71]

Next, we board the 13:34 Arriva North East service X11 to Northburn, o/s Brockwell Centre arriving at 13:40 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[backontrack]

You were unlucky because you tried to chance it and then Ross made his move then. If you were five minutes earlier then all would have been fine.

But you still have to follow the rules - which means:

• that you make any corrections in a new move
• that you STRIKE THROUGH your move to Kenton Bar

 

[backontrack]

Next, we board the 13:34 Arriva North East service X11 to Northburn, o/s Brockwell Centre arriving at 13:40 on Sunday afternoon.

We then board the 14:00 Arriva North East route X11 bus service to Newcastle, Haymarket, Barras Bridge, arriving there at 14:31 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We then take the 14:45 Arriva North East ‘Sapphire’ service X22 to Ashington Bus Station arriving there at 15:39 on Sunday.

 

[RomeoCharlie71]

We then board the 15:47 Arriva North East service 1 to Widdrington Station arriving at 16:15 on Sunday afternoon.

 

[backontrack]

From the level crossing, we board the 17:09 Arriva MAX North East route X18 bus service to Warkworth (Market Place), arriving there at 17:40 on Sunday evening.

 

[RomeoCharlie71]

We then board the 18:00 Arriva North East service X20 to Wansbeck Hospital, Main Entrance arriving at 18:45 on Sunday evening.
