It does stop at Llantwit Major so it is a valid move.
It's an amended timetable. The mainline between Cardiff and Bridgend was closed for works yesterday so services were diverted via the Vale of Glamorgan Line with additional calls at Barry, Rhoose and Llantwit Major. If it says VAR (variation), then it's not a regular service.

We could have gone back to Worcester if you'd have wished, although it's nice for a bit of variety in destinations and not to double back. We just can't go on the same service we've alighted off.

We exit the station to the bus stops outside, where we board the 2108 Nottingham City Transport Green Line service 6 to Edwalton (Turning Circle), arriving there at 2124 on Sunday evening.

Additional Notes
  • So the game remains realistic, you should use the current timetable for the relevant day not including timetable variations for engineering works.
I think that the extract above from the very first posting on this thread that was made by a forum quizmaster, which makes matters clear in its definition of timetable variations.

Additional Notes
  • If a move is discovered to be incorrect then the original post should be struck through and the correction made as a new post
In response to an on-thread notification to edit an existing posting, I did not do that, but struck it through.

Please see the above extract that was made by a forum quizmaster on the very first posting of the quiz which states that the striking-through of an incorrect posting is the correct course to follow.
