It says a short walk and that's what iOS maps and google says

The short walk to wherever is already incorporated into the next method. For example, Player A would go on the 1030 to Warrington Bank Quay, then Player B would do say the 1055 Warrington Central to wherever. Player B would not do the short walk across to Warrington Central.

Also, it does not take fifteen minutes to walk from Brighton Marina to London Road, in fact it's not even walkable (within reason)! :P

A typical commuter-belt part of north-west England
In this game you must travel from the station or stop where the previous post left you although this may involve a short walk when changing between modes , for example to a bus stop serving a rail station. No getting back on the same service you have just left.

I have shown the relevant extract from the quiz rules above.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
09:51 to Brighton arriving at 10:08 Tuesday Morning

Point of clarification.

Was that journey made by bus, train, tortoise...:roll:

It is essential that you name the TOC for rail journeys or the bus operator and service number, with the named point of disembarkation, for bus journeys.

We then call it time with the trains, and we actually stop at these lovely towns we've called at, so we catch the 1025 Brighton and Hove Buses route 7 service to Brighton Marina, arriving there at 1043 on Tuesday morning.

We now board the 1106 Brighton and Hove Bus Company service 7 to Hove (George Street) that arrives there at 1136 on Tuesday morning.,

Considering we've been travelling in the early hours of the morning recently, we call it an early night and stay at a lovely hotel on the seafront in Ramsgate. The next day, we then board 2W26, the 0840 Southeastern service to Tonbridge, arriving there at 1010 on Thursday morning.

I think walking has been ruled invalid as a post, could I suggest the following instead?

Sticking with Metroline, we join the 1233 Route 302 to Mill Hill Broadway Station, arriving at 1308 on Thursday afternoon.
