If we'd have gone to Kemsley or Queenborough we could have boarded one of the peak direct services to Victoria, however as we were deposited at Swale in which those services pass without stopping, we can only go to either Sheerness or back to Sittingbourne. The first bus (the 334) isn't until 7.21 also. To avoid going back the way we came, we wait for the 0607 Southeastern service 2D07 to Sheerness-on-Sea, arriving there at 0617 on Wednesday morning.

Don't think the Channel Islands are permitted. Best to stay on the mainland for now.

We then board the 0612 First Portsmouth, Fareham & Gosport 'The Star' service 8 to Cosham (Health Centre), arriving there at 0622 on Thursday morning.

RULES
  • The playing area includes only mainland Great Britain. This includes any landmass connected to Great Britain by bridge or tunnel (excluding the Channel Tunnel). Domestic ferry services to outlying islands, such as the Isle of Wight and the Scottish Islands are also acceptable.
The above extract from the quiz rules should make it clear that the recent tentative mention of the Channel Islands are most certainly NOT allowed to be used on this quiz.
