Yes, as at Bridgend we would have probably ended up going back to West Wales on one of the last Paddington-Swanseas....

We next board the 0837 Stagecoach South Wales service 124 to Pontcanna (Beverley Hotel), arriving there at 1002 on Thursday.

True, but if one finishes up at Swansea overnight there is always the 03.46 Paddington or 04.50 HoW services one can use.

We next take the 10.16 Stagecoach South Wales service 122 to Tonypandy Bus Station arriving at 11.45 on Thursday.

You appear to have gone from Thursday to Friday.....has there been some line disruption that held the train for 24 hours?

As I'm sure you're aware, such disruption isn't within the scope of the game.

Thanks for your amendment to your posting.

We walk for 3 mintues to the Markst St stop where we board First Potteries 36A at 2241. We alight at Meir Park (Tesco) at 2251 on Thursday.

 

[ValleyLines142]

I believe, unless I've not done a very good job of looking, that that's it for the rest of the day, so we return in the morning for the 0610 First Potteries service 6A to Hanley (Bus Station), arriving there at 0650 on Friday.

We most certainly are having much recent confusion in recent postings over which day of the week it is on this quiz journey.

Thursday suddenly became Friday before being corrected to Thursday and now the following day after Thursday (2251 arrival time) and an overnight rest, we appear to be on Thursday (0650 arrival time).....

So, just to clarify matters, the correct arrival day should read 0650 on Friday.
