The rules do not explicitly exclude the use of cable cars, so we walk the 5 minutes / 0.3 mile to Emirates Greenwich Peninsula, and board the Emirates Air Line. With an advertised journey time of 10 minutes, and allowing for a slight possible queue to board, albeit at this time of day it is unlikely to be too busy, we arrive at Emirates Royal Docks at around 0805 on Friday morning.

 

[A Challenge]

We have travelled on the cable car before, though both times from the North Greenwich end (though one did become a round trip)

We then walk the 6 minutes (0.3 miles) to Charrington Steps and get the 0817 Stagecoach London on behalf of Transport for London service 474 to North Woolwich Ferry (Stop B), arriving at 08:36 Friday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Have always wanted to include a journey on the cable car on here! Very excited!

Making use of another slightly rarer mode of transport in a city with a transport system as impressive/sufficient as London, we next board the 0845 Woolwich Ferry service to Woolwich Pier, arriving there at 0850 on Friday morning.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 9 minute 0.4 mile walk to Woolwich Arsenal Station and catch the 0900 South Eastern service to London Charing Cross arriving there at 0937 on Friday morning.

 

[A Challenge]

We then walk the 4 minutes (0.2 miles) to Embankment Pier and get the 10:05 Uber Boat by Thames Clippers service RB6 to Putney Pier, arriving at 10:43 Friday morning.

[ValleyLines142]

Could you double check your coordinates, as the pier at Woolwich is quite far into the Thames and I make it 0.7 miles/14 minutes. I'm a brisk walker and I don't think I could do it in 9 minutes.

I went by Google. I'll just strike it through.

Where are we at the moment? Woolwich Pier or Putney Pier? I'm confused!!!
Being new-ish to this quiz some of the finer moments of the rules do pass me by!

On this particular quiz, look at the very first TWO postings, both made by forum quizmasters when this quiz was relaunched, which are very useful for new contestants to be aware of.

Indeed, as @Xenophon PCDGS has said, we’ve some guidance on game play way back in posts one and two. If you’ve a question please don’t hesitate to ask in thread (which will be answered by the community) or indeed pop one of the Quizmasters a conversation message.

We want to make the Quiz section as welcoming and easy to interact with as is possible and welcome any feedback.

In the interests of getting things moving, I suggest we take the 11 minute 0.5 mile walk to Woolwich Arsenal Pier and catch the 0935 Thames Clippers service to Westminster Pier arriving at 1037 on Friday morning.

 

[DerekC]

We walk 100 yards to Stop H at Westminster Station and board the 10:53 London United service 211 to Waterloo Station (Upper Taxi Road) where we arrive at 10:59 on Friday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

The 15 minute minimum connection time at this large station gives us time to enter into the station area and board the 1120 South Western Railway service to Pinhoe that arrives there at 1433 on Friday afternoon.

We walk the 4 mins (0.2 mile) to the Oak Close stop on Main Rd and board the 1449 Stagecoach South West service 1C, alighting at Cullompton War Memorial at 1517 on Friday.
