There is only 1 more train out of New Street which is a local to Coventry, so we'll take advantage of the overnight rule here and board one of the first trains out of New Street - the 0519 CrossCountry service to Stansted Airport, which we'll take as far as the pretty Rutland town of Oakham arriving there at 0643 Thursday morning.

Hmmm.... Not much in the way of buses, so we'll wait for the next GA service at 1841, which this time we'll take to Ipswich which will hopefully give some more opportunities. We arrive there at 1936 Thursday evening.

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Obviously that time of arrival warrants the use of the overnight travel relaxation rule, so we next board the 0630 Stephensons of Essex service 12 to Cambridge (Drummer Street Bus Station) that arrives there at 0710 on Friday morning.

 

[A0]

Just in time to take the 0715 Stagecoach East service 13 to Haverhill Bus Station arriving there at 0817 Friday morning.

[A0]

If we alight here, we're going to be stuck here for 3 hours with no alternative options, so I'm going to suggest we stay on board the 374 all the way through to Bury St Edmunds Bus Station arriving there at 1112 Friday morning.

Historically we have not been able to effectively alter the previous poster's move, if we have to wait then so be it.

@Class172 @transportphoto - please could you adjudicate here?

My reading of the rules was that we should keep the game moving effectively - dropping off at a rural point with a 3-4 hour wait only to have to board the same route again doesn't feel like it's in the spirit of the game. Also I'm sure we have re-boarded buses where similar situations have arisen ?
