Well annoyingly, the bus out of here leaves a minute after the train arrives, so we'll have to continue on the rails as we return on the 0553 Great Western Railway service 2K01 to Stapleton Road, arriving there at 0627 on Thursday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 0659 Great Western Railway service to Severn Tunnel Junction that arrives there at 0717 on Thursday morning.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Good to have you back Paul!

We exit the station and take the ten minute/0.5 mile walk to Caldicot Road, where we find we've missed the relatively new T7 bus to Bristol, so instead we wait for the 0744 Newport Bus service X74 to Chepstow (Larkfield Garage), arriving there at 0817 on Thursday morning.

 

[WizCastro197]

After about a 30 minute wait at Chepstow Larkfield Garage, we board the 08:48 73 bus to Chepstow Bus Station. It is only one stop so we arrive there at 08:50, still on Thursday morning.


This is my first post on this game, so keeping it rather simple, I don't understand such buses a long way from Surrey so I hope I have followed the rules and done everything correctly

Welcome to the game.

We walk for 8 minutes (0.4 mile) to the railway station where we wait for the 0919 Cross Country service to Long Eaton arriving at 1148 on Thursday morning.

 

[WizCastro197]

Upon leaving the CrossCountry service, we decide to head back to that capital after a day in Wales with the 12:46 EMR service to St Pancras arriving at 14:23 on Thursday Afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Being mindful of the 15 minute minimum connection time that applies at this large station, we next board the 1442 Thameslink service to Sutton Common that arrives there at 1537 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[WizCastro197]

After leaving the Station we take a quick walk to Sutton Common Stop M

And we board the 15:50 Bus Route 470 to Ewell East station arriving at 16:29
On Thursday afternoon/evening

Cracking job so far! There are some slight discrepancies in your timings, most notably Long Eaton to St Pancras, which I make a 1240 departure for a 1408 arrival.

Only other bit of information missing as well is the bus operator, which in the case of the 470 is London United

Anyway, plodding along, from Ewell East we enter the station and board the 1649 Southern service 1K46 to Waddon, arriving there at 1704 on Thursday afternoon.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1720 Southern service to London Victoria that arrives there at 1758 on Thursday afternoon.

We then head outside to catch the TFL 211 bus departing at 18:15, taking us to Waterloo Station for 18:37 on Thursday evening

 

[ValleyLines142]

We enter the station and board the 1905 South Western Railway service 1W79 to Parkstone, arriving there at 2108 on Thursday evening.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 2135 South Western Railway service to Weymouth that arrives there at 2223 on Thursday evening.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 2310 South Western Railway service to Wool arriving there at 2334 on Thursday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Taking advantage of the overnight rule (no point in going back towards Weymouth on the 0001), we return in the morning for the 0620 South Western Railway service 1W90 to Southampton Airport Parkway, arriving there at 0737 on Thursday morning.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

I think the arrival day should have said Friday morning on that last posting.

 

[WizCastro197]

After a wait at Southampton airport parkway, we next board the 0823 Cross Country service to Birmingham New Street arriving there at 10:47 on Friday Morning.


I hope this one is okay!

 

[Andy Pacer]

Next we take the 1100 West Midlands Trains service to Albrighton arriving at 1132 on Friday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

Crikey, I go away for a few days and we move forward massively!!!

We walk 0.5 mile (9 min) to the Crown Inn bus stop on High St, where we just make the 1141 journey on Banga Buses service 891. We alight at Shifnal (Jaspers Bar) at 1155 on Friday.

 

[Andy Pacer]

See, it's good when there are a few more players!

We wait for the 1312 Arriva Midlands service 113 to Brockton, Garage arriving there at 1320 on Friday.

 

[-Colly405-]

Indeed!!

Google is trying to take me to Brockton, Massachusetts, so assuming that we are still in the environs of Telford (!) we await the next bus that passes, the 1520 Arriva Midlands service 113. We alight at Bridgnorth, Castle Hill (adj. Severn Valley Railway) at 1537 on Friday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Here we change services and board the 1559 Arriva Midlands North service 114 to Hartlebury (opposite Crossroads) that arrives there at 1620 on Friday afternoon.

 

[Andy Pacer]

Amusingly that now leaves us stranded for the rest of Friday and the entirety of the weekend

We will return on Monday morning for the 0811 Arriva Midlands service 114 back to Bridgnorth, High Town Car Park arriving there at 0840 on Monday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

We walk the 2 minutes to the Richmond Gardens Junction stop on Innage Lane, where we await the 0938 Arriva Midlands North service 436. We alight at Shrewsbury Bus Station, stand P at 1035 on Monday.

 

[Andy Pacer]

We take the 1040 Arriva Midlands service 26 to Meole Village, Barns Green Junction arriving there at 1054 on Monday morning.

 

[-Colly405-]

The only option within both time and distance rules is to await the next Arriva Midlands service 26 at 1124. We alight at Kingsland Cemetery at 1133 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

We next board the 1203 Arriva Midlands service 26 to Shrewsbury (Bus Station) that arrives there at 1213 on Monday afternoon.

 

[Andy Pacer]

Next we take the 1240 Arriva Midlands service 511 to Clive, Back Lane arriving at 1306 on Monday.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

There is quite a wait for the next service onwards, so we board the 1432 Arriva Midlands service 511 to Whitchurch (Bus Station) that arrives there at 1522 on Monday afternoon.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Leaving Shropshire behind, we take the 11 minute/0.5 mile walk to the railway station and board the 1629 Transport for Wales service 1V48 to Swansea, arriving there at 2008 on Monday evening.
