Just to point out that the last handful of posts have referred to Stagecoach South West when it should be Stagecoach South...

Well spotted. Whilst technically "incorrect" it probably isn't worth following the rules to the letter and striking through and reposting!

Off the back of this, to be clear I’d never expect any postings to be invalid because of such a technicality. We need to communicate clearly the service that is taken and I hope you’ll all agree that in any case “Stagecoach” would suffice (any extra detail is a nicety)!

I really don't understand where this knowledge that Oxford is a frequented area comes from. There are settlements where we end up visiting far more intensively and frequently, Nottingham/Trent Barton and Thameslink territory springing to mind.

Its strange isn't it - what different people perceive as frequently visited areas - for me, I see this acurrent area of south-west London and trentbartonland as the 2 regular areas, but not so much Thameslink or Oxford!

Remember that I was on the first incarnation of this quiz (where @Zoe was the pedant to end all pedants) then on this re-launched version of the quiz and my memory will go back as far as those early days and it was over the whole period (not the recent period) where an Oxford arrival saw my heart sink.
